Vszerda 100cm Slimline SFF-8654 8i to Dual SFF-8643 4i SAS cable

SKU CH-FWCD-8W1EQ

Connects a Slimline SFF-8654 8i 74-pin backplane to dual SFF-8643 4i controller ports at 24 Gbps per channel over a 100 cm length

Cable Length 100 cm

  • Slim SFF-8654 74-pin connector saves device space
  • Dual SFF-8643 4i ends link backplane to controller
  • 100 cm length suits server and workstation chassis
  • 24 Gbps per channel meets SAS 4.0 specification
  • Four lanes carry PCIe Gen3/4 and SAS 4.0 signals

Slimline 8i to Dual Mini SAS HD Cable

This 100 cm cable connects a backplane or storage device that uses a Slimline SFF-8654 8i 74-pin connector to a controller equipped with two SFF-8643 Mini SAS HD ports. It serves servers, data-storage arrays and workstations that require a compact internal link between these specific interfaces.

Space-Saving 50 cm Assembly With 74-Pin Connector

The Ultraport Slimline 8i 74Pos cable assembly measures 50 cm and uses a smaller connector footprint to save device space. Four channels transmit signals at 24 Gbps for SAS and 8 GT/s for PCIe per channel, meeting SAS 4.0 and PCIe Gen3/4 specifications for reliable daily operation.

Replaces Bulkier Legacy Cabling In Tight Chassis

The slim design replaces wider legacy cables where clearance is limited, making the upgrade worthwhile when a chassis cannot accommodate larger Mini SAS HD connectors. Builders who need more than four lanes or a different pinout should select an alternative cable assembly.

Questions about this item

What does the SFF-8654 8i 74-pin interface cap at in practice?

The cable meets SAS 4.0 and PCIe Gen3/4 specifications, delivering 24 Gbps per channel for SAS and 8 GT/s per channel for PCIe.

What clearance and connector space does the 100 cm cable need to fit?

It uses a compact Slimline SFF-8654 8i 74-pin plug on one end and two SFF-8643 Mini SAS HD plugs on the other, designed for tight server and workstation chassis.

How is the cable installed, and what step do people often get wrong?

Align the keyed 74-pin Slimline connector with the backplane and each SFF-8643 connector with the controller ports, then press straight in until the latches click — forcing at an angle bends pins.
