Slimline SFF8654 8i breakout cable to dual SFF8087 MiniSAS connectors, low-profile 30AWG copper, .8M length

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK .8M SFF8654 8i to 2×SFF8087 SAS Cable

SKU CH-HBYW-4QHBJ

Connects a single SFF8654 8i Slimline port to two SFF8087 MiniSAS ports for 12Gbps SAS 3.0 storage expansion in compact servers

  • Converts one SFF8654 8i port to dual SFF8087 ports
  • 12Gbps SAS 3.0 speed for highspeed storage links
  • 30AWG pure copper wire reduces signal loss and crosstalk
  • Lowprofile design fits spacerestricted server enclosures
  • 8M length enables clean internal routing for RAID controllers

Low-profile breakout cable

This SMUGDESK cable converts a single SFF8654 8i Slimline LP host port into two independent SFF8087 MiniSAS connectors. It is built for administrators expanding storage inside dense server enclosures where full-height brackets cannot fit. The 30AWG pure copper conductors minimise signal loss and crosstalk across the link.

Internal routing and density

The .8 metre length supports clean cable management between RAID controllers and backplanes without excess slack. Its low-profile form factor frees vertical clearance in 1U and 2U chassis, allowing airflow to reach adjacent components. The harness requires a host port with the SFF8654 8i interface and two MiniSAS receptacles on the target device.

12Gbps SAS bandwidth headroom

Rated for 12Gbps SAS 3.0 transmission, the assembly handles dual-port SSD or HDD arrays at full protocol speed. It saturates when both downstream ports drive sustained sequential workloads beyond the aggregate 12Gbps envelope. Builders needing more than two MiniSAS links or a longer run must source a different harness.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum data rate this SFF-8654 to dual SFF-8087 cable supports under sustained load?

The cable supports stable 12Gbps SAS 3.0 high-speed data transmission across all eight lanes.

Does the 30AWG copper construction generate noticeable heat during all-day operation?

Premium 30AWG pure copper wire minimises signal loss, crosstalk and impedance interference, keeping thermal output low.

Which host controller port is required to use this breakout harness?

A single PCIe Slimline LP SFF-8654 8i host port is required to split into two independent SFF-8087 MiniSAS connections.
