Vszerda RSL74-6516 SlimSAS 8X 74pin to 2 U.2 NVMe 68pin internal power cable 75CM

SKU CH-9Y3Q-S0Z6P

Splits one SlimSAS 8X 74pin port into two U.2 NVMe 68pin connectors with integrated SATA power over a 75cm cable

  • ColorBlack
  • Connect two U.2 NVMe drives from one SlimSAS 8X port
  • 75 cm length fits most tower cases without excess cable
  • Integrated SATA power lines remove the need for separate power cables
  • High-quality 74-pin and 68-pin connectors ensure stable PCIe data transmission
  • Compatible with SFF-8654 motherboards and enterprise U.2 NVMe SSDs

Split One SlimSAS 8X into Two U.2 NVMe Drives

This cable adapts a single SFF-8654 74pin connector on a motherboard or controller into two independent SFF-8639 68pin U.2 NVMe interfaces. It lets builders attach two enterprise or consumer U.2 SSDs simultaneously without occupying additional host ports. The 75cm length suits standard tower layouts while keeping routing tidy. Buyers whose host lacks a SlimSAS 8X port cannot use this adapter.

SFF-8654 74pin to Dual SFF-8639 68pin with Power

The defining specification is the direct breakout from one 74pin SlimSAS 8X plug to two 68pin U.2 NVMe receptacles carrying both data and power. Integrated power lines draw from a standard SATA power connector so each U.2 drive receives the electricity it needs without extra cables. The assembly supports PCIe lane signalling across the full 8X width. Systems without a SATA power source for the adapter will leave the drives unpowered.

Integrated SATA Power Removes Extra Cabling

A built-in SATA power tap feeds both U.2 connectors, so installers do not need separate power leads for each SSD. This all-in-one design reduces clutter and shortens installation time in servers, workstations or high-end desktop builds. The 75cm (approx. 29.5 inches) reach gives flexibility for drive placement in larger chassis. Users who prefer Molex or direct PSU power for U.2 drives must source a different cable.

Questions about this item

What does the 74-pin SlimSAS 8X connector actually provide for my two U.2 NVMe drives?

The 74-pin SlimSAS 8X (SFF-8654) host end carries eight PCIe lanes, splitting them into two independent x4 links so each U.2 NVMe SSD gets full x4 bandwidth.

Which interface standard limits the cable's practical speed?

The SFF-8654 and SFF-8639 connectors pass PCIe signalling; the cable itself does not impose a generation ceiling, so the effective limit is the host controller and the NVMe drives you attach.

What does the cable need to fit and mount in my chassis?

It requires a 74-pin SFF-8654 port on the motherboard or add-in card, two U.2 (SFF-8639) drive bays or backplane slots, and a standard SATA power connector for the integrated power lines; the 75 cm length suits most tower layouts.
