SlimSAS x8 74 pin cable splitting to two x4 38 pin connectors, 80 cm length

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SlimSAS x8 to 2×SlimSAS x4 Cable SFF8654 74Pin to 2×38Pin 80CM

SKU CH-DF8N-SCA02

Splits one SFF8654 74Pin x8 port into two SFF8654 38Pin x4 ports for NVMe storage expansion in enterprise servers

  • Direct Broadcom 56000400 replacement for enterprise server deployments
  • One-to-two breakout converts single SFF8654 74pin x8 port to dual SFF8654 38pin x4 interfaces
  • Enables multi NVMe storage expansion in modern enterprise servers
  • 80CM length provides clean internal wiring for space-constrained chassis
  • Precision-shielded low-loss construction ensures stable datacenter-grade signal integrity

SlimSAS x8 Breakout Cable

This 80 centimeter cable converts a single SFF8654 74 pin x8 port into two independent SFF8654 38 pin x4 connections. It is a direct replacement for Broadcom part number 056000400 and is built with precision shielded low loss conductors for stable signal integrity in enterprise server storage deployments. The onetotwo design enables flexible multi NVMe storage expansion within compact rackmount servers and workstations.

Suits Enterprise Storage Builders

Builders expanding NVMe SSD capacity or connecting RAID controllers in high density storage arrays will find this breakout cable fits the required Broadcom specification. It is not suited for installations requiring a different pin count, a longer reach than 80 centimeters, or connectivity standards other than SAS or NVMe over SlimSAS interfaces. Buyers needing a straight through x8 cable or an alternative connector type should look at a different part.

SFF8654 74Pin to Dual 38Pin

The decisive specification is the SFF8654 74 pin x8 to dual 38 pin x4 breakout configuration, which must match the host controller port and the target backplane or drive connectors exactly. Compatibility with Broadcom 056000400 confirms the wiring map and pinout for supported PCIe level transmission. Verify your hardware requires this specific x8 to x4 split before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the 80 cm SlimSAS x8 to dual x4 cable reach from a Broadcom 056000400 port to NVMe drives in a 2U rack chassis?

The 80 cm length is designed for tidy internal routing in compact rackmount servers, so it should span typical 2U drive-cage distances without excess slack.

How can I verify the SFF8654 74-pin to dual 38-pin breakout is passing PCIe-level throughput to both NVMe SSDs?

Confirm link width and speed in the RAID controller BIOS or OS tool — each x4 branch should negotiate the expected PCIe generation and show zero CRC errors under load.

Does the box include only the 80 cm SFF8654 74-pin to dual 38-pin cable, or are drive brackets and mounting screws also supplied?

Only the SlimSAS breakout cable is included; drive brackets, screws and any additional cables must be sourced separately.
