Vszerda SFF-8654 8i 74pin to Dual SFF-8611 4i 38pin SAS Cable 50cm

Slimline SAS cable for dense server builds

This Vszerda cable bridges a single SFF-8654 8i 74pin backplane connector to two SFF-8611 4i 38pin controller ports. It targets system integrators populating storage-dense chassis where the slim connector footprint frees valuable device space. The 50cm length suits typical internal routing between adjacent backplanes and RAID or HBA cards in rackmount servers and workstations.

Bandwidth ceiling set by SAS 4.0 and PCIe Gen 4

Each of the four lanes carries 24 Gbps for SAS traffic and 8 GT/s for PCIe signalling, matching the published specification for this generation. The aggregate throughput is therefore bounded by the four-lane design; configurations requiring more than four concurrent channels must use additional cables or a wider controller interface. No higher link rate is supported by this assembly.

Shielded 1-to-2 assembly with male-to-female gender

The black cable uses a shielded 1-to-2 construction that reduces crosstalk between the dual SFF-8611 tails. Male-to-female gendering means the 74pin end plugs into a backplane receptacle while the 38pin ends accept controller plugs, a common arrangement for internal drive arrays. The slim profile eases cable management in tight chassis but offers no external locking mechanism beyond the connector latch.
