SMUGDESK SlimSAS SFF8654 8i PCIe 4.0 24Gbps .5m SAS Cable

SKU CH-YD3N-92WVX

Connects enterprise storage at 24Gbps using PCIe 4.0 SFF-8654 8i with anti-misdirection keying and .5m 32AWG copper conductors

  • PCIe 4.0 compliant SFF8654 8i for 24Gbps enterprise storage bandwidth
  • Anti-misdirection keying prevents reverse insertion and protects hardware
  • 32AWG pure copper conductors minimise signal loss and crosstalk
  • .5m compact length enables tidy routing in dense server chassis
  • 8-channel high-density connection supports scalable RAID and U.2 SSD arrays

SlimSAS SFF8654 8i PCIe 4.0 Cable

This SlimSAS interconnect cable uses SFF8654 8i connectors to provide an 8channel PCIe 4.0 link for enterprise servers and RAID controllers. It delivers 24Gbps bandwidth for highperformance storage arrays and U.2 SSD deployments. The 0.5m length supports tidy routing inside dense chassis. Antimisdirection keying prevents reverse insertion and protects hardware.

Suits Highdensity Server Storage Builds

Builders expanding U.2 SSD arrays or connecting RAID controllers in compact enclosures will benefit from the short reach and secure keying. The 32AWG pure copper conductors and multilayer shielding maintain signal integrity at 24Gbps. Installers needing longer runs between racks or external JBODs should select a different cable length. This cable is not designed for external or longdistance connections.

Fits Tight Internal Routing

The halfmeter length frees space in crowded server chassis and simplifies cable management around backplanes. It requires matching SFF8654 8i ports on both the host adapter and the storage device. The antimisdirection design ensures correct orientation during installation. No additional adapters are included for other connector types.

Questions about this item

What controller port is required for the SFF8654 8i connector on this cable?

The cable plugs into any controller or backplane that presents an SFF8654 8i port, so the host must already have that 8channel SlimSAS receptacle.

Will the .5m length reach from a PCIe 4.0 RAID card to drive bays in a 2U chassis?

At half a metre the cable is designed for tight internal routing; it will reach adjacent slots or nearby bays but may fall short for full-depth 2U layouts.

How can I confirm the link is running at 24Gbps after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or OS utility for a negotiated 24Gbps link speed on each of the 8 lanes and verify zero CRC errors during sustained transfers.
