Vszerda SAS cable SFF-8654 8i 74pin to dual SFF-8087 100 cm

SKU CH-87HE-VZTSR

Connects a Slimline SFF-8654 8i 74pin backplane to dual SFF-8087 controllers at 24 Gbps per SAS channel over 100 cm

  • Connects Slimline 8654 backplane to dual 8087 controller ports
  • 24 Gbps per channel meets SAS 4.0 performance spec
  • 100 cm length fits standard server chassis routing
  • Four independent channels carry PCIe Gen3/4 and SAS signals
  • Compact 74-pin connector saves space in dense storage builds

Connectivity purpose

This Vszerda cable links a Slimline SFF-8654 8i 74pin backplane to a controller with dual SFF-8087 Mini SAS ports. It serves servers, data-storage arrays and workstations that need internal high-speed SAS connections. The 100 cm length suits standard chassis routing.

Upgrade path

It replaces older Mini SAS to Mini SAS cables when migrating to Slimline 8654 backplanes while retaining existing SFF-8087 controllers. The jump is worth it when the platform demands PCIe Gen3 or Gen4 and SAS 4.0 signalling at 24 Gbps per channel.

Target fit

Builders who need four-channel 24 Gbps SAS links over a slim 74-pin connector will use this assembly. Buyers who want more storage lanes than four channels, or who require a different backplane connector type, should look at something else.

Questions about this item

What clearance is needed for the 74-pin SFF-8654 connector on this cable?

The Slimline SFF-8654 8i connector is designed for ultraport applications, saving device space inside servers and workstations.

Which orientation do the dual SFF-8087 ends need when plugging into a controller?

Each Mini SAS SFF-8087 plug is keyed; align the notch with the controller receptacle and press straight in until the latch clicks.

When should I replace this cable if I run it at 24 Gbps SAS speeds?

Inspect the 50 cm assembly for bent pins or jacket damage after any re-seat; replace it if signal errors appear or the latch fails to hold.
