SFF-8654 38-pin MCIO plug to four right-angle SATA connectors, 80 cm length

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SFF-8654 38Pin MCIO to 4 Right Angle SATA Cable 80CM

SKU CH-W39Z-NYJKV

Converts a single SFF-8654 38Pin MCIO port into four right-angle SATA connections for 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives with 80cm shielded cable

  • SFF-8654 38Pin MCIO splits into four SATA ports
  • Left angle SATA ends save chassis space and prevent wire damage
  • 80cm length enables clean routing inside large cases
  • Multi-layer shielding cuts EMI for stable 24-hour operation
  • Works with 2.5 and 3.5 inch SATA HDD and SSD arrays

Breakout Cable for Server Storage

This SFF-8654 MCIO cable splits a single 38 pin connector into four standard SATA ports. It connects a motherboard or RAID HBA card to multiple 2.5 or 3.5 inch HDDs and SSDs. The design targets server, NAS and industrial chassis expansions where internal drive density is required.

SATA Interface Throughput Ceiling

The cable passes native SATA signals so each drive runs at the SATA link speed supported by the host controller. Aggregate bandwidth is limited to four times that single link rate, which may bottleneck heavy RAID arrays compared to wider SAS lanes. Cable length of 80 centimeters meets internal routing needs without adding measurable latency.

Right Angle SATA Connectors Save Space

The left angle elbow at each SATA end prevents sharp bends that fracture wire cores inside tight server cabinets. This geometry also clears airflow paths for better thermal management during 24 hour operation. Builders using straight SATA ports or extremely cramped backplanes should verify clearance before ordering.

Questions about this item

How many SATA drives can I connect with the single 38-pin MCIO connector?

The SFF-8654 38-pin MCIO male connector splits into four independent SATA ports, allowing you to attach up to four SATA HDDs or SSDs simultaneously.

What does the 80 cm length mean for routing inside a server chassis?

The 80 cm overall length provides enough reach for large server cabinets while avoiding excess slack, and the right-angle SATA ends help route cables neatly in tight spaces.

Does the SAS SFF-8654 interface limit the speed of the connected SATA drives?

The cable carries SAS signalling on the MCIO side and breaks out to standard SATA ports, so each drive runs at its native SATA speed without protocol conversion overhead.
