SlimSAS 8i to dual OCuLink 4i cable, .5 m, black braided sleeve

LORDWORLD

LORDWORLD SlimSAS 8i SFF-8654 to 2x OCuLink 4i SFF-8611 Cable 0.5m

SKU CH-K809-51C7P

Connects a SlimSAS 8i port to two OCuLink 4i ports for NVMe drives at PCIe 4.0 speeds

  • 5 m cable keeps NVMe drives close to the controller
  • SFF-8654 to dual SFF-8611 splits one port into two
  • PCIe 4.0 transfer speeds match current NVMe performance
  • SFF-9402 compliant design works with mainstream HBA and RAID cards
  • UL 20744 certified cable meets recognised safety requirements

SlimSAS 8i to Dual OCuLink 4i Cable

This 0.5 metre cable converts a single SlimSAS 8i SFF-8654 port into two OCuLink 4i SFF-8611 connections for NVMe storage. It targets builders adding high-speed drives to tri-mode HBA or RAID controllers. The SFF-9402 compliant design supports PCIe 4.0 transfer specifications.

Verify Controller Port and Drive Count

Confirm your HBA or RAID card exposes an SFF-8654 8i receptacle before ordering. Each OCuLink 4i leg serves up to four lanes, so the host must bifurcate the x8 link into two x4 paths. Check that your chassis routing accommodates the 19.69 inch length between controller and backplane.

UL20744 Certified Cable for Daily Use

The assembly has passed UL20744 certification, meeting stated safety requirements for internal wiring. Connectors follow SFF-8654 and SFF-8611 mechanical specifications for secure latching. The fixed 0.5 metre reach suits adjacent backplane mounting without excess slack.

Questions about this item

What connectors are on the cable and do I need anything extra?

The cable has a SlimSAS 8i SFF-8654 connector on one end and two OCuLink 4i SFF-8611 connectors on the other. No extra parts are required to connect a compatible HBA or RAID card to NVMe drives.

Which length should I choose for my build?

This cable is 0.5 meters (19.69 inch) long. Choose it when the distance between your controller card and the drive backplane or enclosure is short enough for this reach.

What does the PCIe 4.0 rating mean for my NVMe drives?

The cable supports PCIe 4.0 transfer speeds, so each NVMe drive connected through the OCuLink 4i links can run at its full Gen 4 bandwidth without being bottlenecked by the cable.
