Flat .5m Slimline SAS SFF8654 4i 38P cable with flat connectors on both ends

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Slimline SAS SFF8654 4i 38P to SFF8654 4i .5M Cable

SKU CH-E03R-8YCF2

A .5 m Slimline SAS cable connects two SFF8654 4i 38P ports with 10 ohm impedance-matched wiring for 12 Gbps data transmission

  • Straight-through internal link connects two SFF8654 4i Slimline SAS ports
  • 10 ohm impedance-matched wiring supports stable 12Gbps high-speed data transmission
  • Flat-to-flat connector design saves internal space and enables neat routing
  • Server-grade shielding minimises signal loss, crosstalk and electromagnetic interference
  • 5 metre short length suits close-range internal connections in 2U/4U backplanes

Purpose-built server interconnect

This 0.5 metre cable connects two SFF8654 4i Slimline SAS ports inside a server chassis. It is designed for administrators and integrators who need a short, high-density link between a RAID controller or HBA and a backplane in 2U or 4U storage systems.

Fit and limitations

The flat-to-flat connector layout saves space and suits tight internal routing where standard right-angle plugs would clash. It will not serve external connections, longer runs between separate enclosures, or any interface other than the specified Slimline SAS socket.

Deciding specification

The cable is rated for 12Gbps SAS bandwidth with 10ohm impedance-matched wiring across 38 pins per connector. If your hardware requires a different pin count, signal rate or connector form factor, this assembly will not function.

Questions about this item

What connectors does the .5M SMUGDESK cable have and do I need any extra adapters?

It has SFF8654 4i 38P Slimline SAS plugs on both ends. No adapters are required if your backplane and controller use the same interface.

When should I choose the .5M length over a longer cable?

Choose the .5M length when the SFF8654 ports are close together inside a 2U or 4U chassis. It keeps routing tidy and avoids excess slack that blocks airflow.

What does the 12Gbps rating mean for my RAID array?

The 12Gbps bandwidth with 10Ohm impedance-matched wiring lets each 4-lane link move data at full SAS speed, so the cable will not bottleneck high-density storage arrays.
