SMUGDESK SlimSAS SFF8654 8i PCIe 4.0 to Dual SFF8087 SAS Cable 1M

SKU CH-HATZ-SHADH

Converts one PCIe 4.0 SlimSAS SFF8654 8i port into dual SFF8087 MiniSAS ports for 24Gbps SAS storage expansion with anti-misdirection keying and 32AWG copper shielding

  • PCIe 4.0 compliant conversion splits one SFF8654 8i port into dual SFF8087 MiniSAS ports
  • 24Gbps ultrahighbandwidth transfer enables enterprise storage and RAID system performance
  • Antimisdirection keying prevents reverse insertion and protects server hardware interfaces
  • 32AWG pure copper conductors minimize signal loss, crosstalk and electromagnetic interference
  • 1meter optimized length enables clean internal routing for rackmounted server chassis

Single Port to Dual Port Conversion

This cable converts a single PCIe 4.0 SFF8654 8i SlimSAS port into two SFF8087 MiniSAS connectors. It is designed for system integrators and server administrators who need to expand internal storage connectivity within enterprise chassis. The direct breakout simplifies cabling from a modern controller to legacy backplanes.

Sustained 24Gbps Bandwidth Stability

Premium 32AWG pure copper conductors and multilayer shielding maintain signal integrity during continuous high-throughput operations. The construction minimizes attenuation and crosstalk across the full link, supporting stable 24Gbps transfer rates required by demanding RAID arrays. Anti-misdirection keying ensures a secure, locked connection that resists vibration-induced disconnects in rack environments.

Verify Controller Port and Backplane Compatibility

Confirm your host controller or motherboard provides a native SFF8654 8i interface before ordering. Ensure the target backplanes or drive cages accept SFF8087 MiniSAS plugs and that the one-meter reach suits your specific chassis layout. This cable carries SAS protocols only; it does not support other signalling types.

Questions about this item

Does the 24Gbps cable generate noticeable heat or draw extra power when running continuously in a server?

The passive copper assembly carries PCIe 4.0 signals without active components, so it adds no measurable heat or power draw during all-day operation.

Which host connector must my controller already provide for this SFF8654 8i to dual SFF8087 cable to work?

Your RAID or HBA card needs a single PCIe 4.0 SlimSAS SFF8654 8i port to accept the cable's upstream connector.

Will the dual SFF8087 ends plug directly into the MiniSAS ports on my older SAS backplane without adapters?

Yes, each SFF8087 MiniSAS connector matches the standard 8087 interface found on legacy backplanes and drive cages.
