SMUGDESK SFF8654 8I to Dual MCIO 4I LowProfile Cable 12Gbps 1M
SlimSAS breakout cable splits one SFF-8654 8i port into dual MCIO 4i connectors for 12 Gbps NVMe and RAID storage expansion in compact servers
- Splits one SFF-8654 8I port into dual MCIO 4I ports for flexible multi-storage expansion
- Delivers stable 12Gbps bandwidth for NVMe SSDs and RAID controllers
- Ultra-slim low-profile design optimizes airflow in compact rackmount servers
- Precision-shielded wiring minimizes signal crosstalk and electromagnetic interference
- 1-meter length enables flexible internal routing in standard chassis and high-density builds
Splitter for dense NVMe arrays
This cable splits a single SFF8654 8I port into two MCIO 4I connectors so one controller can drive multiple NVMe devices. It targets server and workstation builders who need compact internal storage expansion without occupying extra controller slots.
12Gbps bandwidth with one-metre reach
The link runs at 12Gbps per lane, providing headroom for current NVMe SSDs and RAID controllers in high-density chassis. The 39.37in length covers typical rackmount routing while longer runs or external enclosures would exceed the cable's specified reach.
Low-profile shielded construction for tight airflow
Precision-shielded copper conductors reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in crowded drive bays. The ultraslim low-profile form factor preserves cooling paths in compact rackmount servers, though builders needing right-angle connectors or locking latches will find neither on this assembly.

Questions about this item
Will the SFF8654 8I end connect to my existing 12Gbps RAID controller?
Yes, the SFF8654 8I connector is designed for 12Gbps SAS and NVMe RAID controllers, providing a direct link without adapters.
How can I verify the cable is delivering 12Gbps throughput after installation?
Check the controller BIOS or OS drive utility to confirm each attached NVMe SSD negotiates a 12Gbps link speed and shows zero CRC errors under load.
Does the package include both MCIO 4I breakout ends, or must I buy them separately?
The single cable assembly includes the SFF8654 8I plug and both MCIO 4I branches; no extra connectors are required.
