Manw SlimSAS x8 74pin to 2x x4 38pin 80CM Cable

SKU CH-XTR6-PYGEF

Splits a single SlimSAS x8 74pin connection into two SlimSAS x4 38pin links for SAS drives or controllers, 80 cm long

  • Connect one x8 device to two x4 ports with SFF-8654 74pin to 2x 38pin Y-cable
  • 80 cm length suits internal chassis routing between backplanes and controllers
  • Supports SAS-4 connections via SFF-8654 interface for high-speed data transfer
  • Compliant with SFF-9402 reference design for multi-protocol internal cable assemblies
  • Broadcom MPN 05-60004-00 cross-reference ensures compatibility with validated hardware platforms

SlimSAS x8 to dual x4 Y-cable

This cable splits a single SlimSAS x8 74-pin SFF-8654 connector into two SlimSAS x4 38-pin SFF-8654 connectors. It is designed for builders and integrators who need to route one x8 SAS-4 or multi-protocol lane to two x4 endpoints inside a server or workstation chassis.

80 cm length limits internal routing

The 80 cm cable run sets a hard limit on the distance between the x8 host port and the two x4 devices. In large enclosures or when routing around full-length cards the reach may fall short so measure the exact path before ordering.

Replaces two discrete x8-to-x4 cables

Using one Y-cable instead of a pair of separate assemblies reduces connector count on the backplane or HBA and simplifies cable management. The jump is worth it when a single x8 port must serve two x4 drives or controllers and chassis space is tight.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the x8 74pin or the dual x4 38pin version for my controller?

The cable has one x8 74pin plug on one end and two x4 38pin plugs on the other, so a single x8 controller port connects to two x4 devices.

What does the 80CM length mean once the cable is routed inside my chassis?

The 80CM overall length gives enough slack to reach from a motherboard or HBA to drive backplanes in most server chassis while keeping cable management tidy.

Which interface standard does the SFF-8654 connector use and what does it cap in practice?

The SFF-8654 connectors follow the SFF-9402 reference for multi-protocol internal cables and carry SAS traffic at SAS-4 signalling rates.
