SMUGDESK MCIO SFF-8654 8i to 8-Port SATA Cable 0.5m

Server multi-drive adapter

This 0.5 metre cable converts a single SFF-8654 8i MCIO port into eight independent 7-pin left-angle SATA connectors. It is built for administrators and integrators who need to attach multiple drives inside a server or storage array using one high-density host interface.

Capacity and signal headroom

The 32AWG conductors provide stable high-speed transmission across all eight SATA links simultaneously. Performance scales with the connected drives and controller; the cable itself does not impose a throughput ceiling, but aggregate bandwidth is ultimately limited by the host MCIO lane allocation and drive capabilities.

Upgrade path and fit

It replaces bulky straight-connector breakout cables or multiple individual runs where chassis space is tight. The left-angle design and half-metre length suit dense 24/7 environments; the jump is worthwhile when consolidating cabling in compact servers or JBODs without exceeding the 0.5m reach.
