SlimSAS 74-pin cable splitting to dual U.2 68-pin connectors 75CM length

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK SlimSAS 8X to 2×U.2 NVMe Adapter Cable 75CM

SKU CH-A30A-Y942S

Converts a single SFF-8654 74-pin SlimSAS port into two SFF-8639 68-pin U.2 NVMe connections with integrated power over a 75 cm length

  • Converts single SFF8654 74Pin port to dual SFF8639 68Pin U.2 NVMe interfaces
  • Integrated power delivery enables direct NVMe SSD operation without extra cables
  • 75CM length allows flexible internal routing in rackmount servers and storage nodes
  • Low-loss shielded conductors minimise signal loss and crosstalk for stable data centre performance
  • Official Broadcom compatible MPN 56000500 and CBLSAST0953 ensures enterprise-grade compatibility

Enterprise U.2 NVMe breakout

This cable converts one SFF8654 74Pin SlimSAS port into two SFF8639 68Pin U.2 NVMe interfaces with integrated power delivery. It matches Broadcom OEM part numbers 56000500 and CBLSAST0953 for enterprise storage deployments. The 75CM length supports flexible internal routing in rackmount servers and NAS systems.

Storage builders needing dual U.2 drives

Administrators connecting highcapacity U.2 NVMe SSDs to a single SlimSAS controller port will use this breakout cable. Builders whose controllers lack an SFF8654 74Pin interface cannot use this adapter. Installations requiring a different cable length or connector layout must select another part.

SFF8654 74Pin to dual SFF8639 68Pin

The single specification that decides fit is the controller port: it must be an SFF8654 74Pin SlimSAS connector. Only that exact port accepts this cable and splits bandwidth across two SFF8639 68Pin U.2 NVMe drives with power.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth does the single SlimSAS 8X port deliver to each U.2 NVMe drive?

The SFF8654 74Pin connector carries an 8-lane PCIe link that splits into two 4-lane U.2 ports, so each NVMe SSD receives a full x4 connection.

Does the SFF8654 interface limit the speed of the two U.2 NVMe ports?

The 74Pin SlimSAS connector supports 8 PCIe lanes total, giving each SFF8639 68Pin U.2 port its own x4 lane allocation without bottleneck.

Will the 75CM cable reach from a rear-mounted RAID controller to front drive bays in a 2U server?

At 75CM the cable provides enough slack for typical rackmount routing from a rear PCIe card to front-accessible U.2 bays in 1U or 2U chassis.
