Slimline SAS SFF-8654 8i to Dual MCIO 4i Cable
This 100cm cable bridges a Slimline SAS SFF-8654 8i 74P controller to two MCIO SFF-8654 4i 38P storage devices. It targets administrators wiring high-density enterprise servers and RAID arrays where multi-lane SAS connectivity is required. The male-to-male braided assembly is built for continuous operation in rack environments.
Replaces legacy wide-cable
Upgrading is worthwhile when existing links lack EMI shielding or secure latching, causing signal errors in dense chassis. The 18-lane design with premium shielding and locking connectors eliminates crosstalk and accidental disconnects during drive swaps. It suits migrations to MCIO-based backplanes without changing the controller.
Handles multi-lane SAS traffic for RAID
The 8i to dual 4i split delivers full bandwidth to each attached enclosure, supporting high-throughput storage pools. Headroom exists until aggregate controller or backplane limits are reached, not the cable itself. Builders needing single-port 8i direct-attach or different lane splits should select an alternative assembly.

Questions about this item
Does the 74-pin Slimline SAS SFF-8654 8i connector fit a standard 1U server backplane?
The 74-pin Slimline SAS SFF-8654 8i connector follows the SFF-8654 standard used on enterprise backplanes. Check your backplane pin count and keying against the 8i specification before installation.
How do I seat the locking connectors on the 38-pin MCIO ends without damaging the latch?
Align the 38-pin MCIO SFF-8654 4i plug squarely with the receptacle, push until the locking tab clicks audibly, then pull gently to confirm engagement. Do not force at an angle.
When should I replace this 100cm braided cable in a high-density RAID array?
Replace if the braided jacket shows cuts, the locking tabs no longer click securely, or intermittent link errors appear on the SAS controller logs during heavy I/O.
