SlimSAS SFF-8654 8i to MCIO SFF-TA-1016 8i cable

This cable connects a Slimline SFF-8654 8i port to an MCIO SFF-TA-1016 8i port using a male-to-male layout. It is built for high-performance server and storage environments where space efficiency and high-speed data transfer are critical. The assembly uses AWG30 conductors and an 85-ohm impedance tuned for PCIe4.0 Gen4 signalling.

Sustained-load behaviour

The 85-ohm controlled impedance and high-speed shielding maintain signal integrity across the 0.75~0.8m length during continuous traffic. Each lane supports up to 24 Gbps for SAS 3.0 operation, with headroom for higher rates depending on the specific implementation. The straight routing avoids sharp bends that could degrade eye diagrams under prolonged thermal cycling.

Replaces older wide SAS interconnects in dense

The SlimSAS to MCIO form factor replaces bulkier legacy SAS cables where rack density and airflow are constrained. The jump is worth it when upgrading to PCIe4.0 Gen4 backplanes that demand the tighter pitch and 85-ohm discipline this cable provides. It is not for builds that retain older wide-port SAS controllers or need longer runs beyond the supported length.

Questions about this item

Does the 0.75 m SlimSAS SFF-8654 cable add noticeable heat or noise when run continuously in a server chassis?

The cable is a passive copper assembly with no active components, so it generates no noise and negligible heat during all-day operation.

What host connector must my backplane or RAID card already provide for the SFF-8654 8i end to plug in?

You need a Slimline SFF-8654 8i receptacle on the controller or backplane; the cable's male connector mates directly with that port.

Will the MCIO SFF-TA-1016 8i side work with my existing SAS 3.0 backplane limited to 24 Gbps per lane?

Yes, the cable complies with SFF-TA-1016 and SAS standards, so it interoperates with SAS 3.0 equipment running at 24 Gbps per lane.
