Fervit SFF8654 8i 74P to LP 8X SlimSAS Cable .5m 24Gbps 30AWG 85Ohm

SKU CH-7G2K-X9KQP

Connects SFF8654 8i 74pin to LP 8X for 24Gbps PCIe NVMe, SAS and SATA links in dense servers

  • Low-profile SFF8654 8i 74pin to LP 8X direct link fits slim server builds
  • 85Ohm 30AWG copper enables stable 24Gbps PCIe-compliant transmission
  • Compact .5m length simplifies tidy routing in high-density racks and NAS
  • Slim design improves airflow for tight workstation and enterprise storage layouts
  • Anti-interference shielding reduces crosstalk with NVMe, RAID controllers and SAS/SATA drives

Fervit SFF8654 8i 74P to LP 8X Cable

This cable provides a low-profile link between SFF8654 8i 74-pin and LP 8X interfaces. It is designed for slim server and compact chassis builds where space is tight. The 85Ohm impedance-matched 30AWG wire supports stable 24Gbps PCIe-compliant transmission. Builders working with NVMe SSDs, RAID controllers or SAS/SATA drives in high-density racks will find it suited to their layout.

Installation and common issues

The compact .5m length and slim low-profile design allow tidy internal routing without blocking airflow. Direct connection removes the need for bulky adapters in cramped backplanes. Installers should verify that both ends match the SFF8654 8i and LP 8X port types exactly. Forcing a mismatched connector is the most frequent cause of damage or signal loss.

PCIe 24Gbps practical limits

The cable carries 24Gbps over 30AWG copper with 85Ohm impedance matching and anti-interference shielding. Signal integrity depends on keeping the short .5m run free from sharp bends or tight cable ties. Performance scales with the slowest device in the chain, so older SAS or SATA drives will not reach the link ceiling. Builders needing longer runs or higher lane counts must look beyond this specific harness.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is delivering the rated 24Gbps speed after installation?

Verify link speed in the RAID controller BIOS or operating system storage utility; a healthy connection will show PCIe Gen4 x8 or Gen5 x4 widths matching the 24Gbps spec.

What comes in the box and do I need any extra brackets or adapters for the SFF8654 8i 74pin side?

The package contains the single .5m SlimSAS harness only; no brackets, screws or additional adapters are included.

Which length should I choose if I also see a 1m version listed for the same SFF8654 to LP 8X connection?

Select the .5m cable when routing inside a 1U or 2U chassis where the 19.68in reach keeps cables clear of airflow paths; choose the longer version only for full-height server backplanes.
