SMUGDESK SlimSAS SFF8654 8i to 8X Cable 24Gbps 85ohm .5m

SKU CH-XNHM-Z8PP3

A .5 m SlimSAS cable links SFF-8654 8i and 8X ports at 24 Gbps with 85 ohm impedance for NVMe storage

  • Low-profile flat-to-flat design saves chassis space and improves airflow
  • PCIe-compliant 24Gbps bandwidth supports next-gen NVMe SSDs and RAID controllers
  • Strict 85ohm impedance matching ensures signal integrity with minimal crosstalk
  • Anti-misplug housing prevents reverse insertion and hardware damage
  • 5m compact length enables tidy short-range routing in dense servers

SlimSAS cable for high-density servers

This SMUGDESK SlimSAS cable connects an SFF8654 8i port to an SFF8654 8X port using a low-profile flat-to-flat design. It is built for compact enterprise chassis where internal space and airflow are constrained. The 0.5 metre length suits short-range routing between backplanes and RAID controllers in rack-mounted systems.

Check port types and clearance before ordering

Verify that your controller or backplane exposes an SFF8654 8i connector and that the target device uses an SFF8654 8X connector. Ensure the low-profile housing fits the available slot height and that the anti-misplug keying matches the receptacle orientation. Confirm the half-metre reach covers the internal path without tension.

Signal integrity at 24Gbps with 85ohm impedance

Precision-matched 85ohm impedance and shielded conductors maintain stable 24Gbps throughput for NVMe storage arrays. The flat construction reduces cable bulk, aiding airflow and thermal management inside dense enclosures. No active cooling is required for the passive cable assembly itself.

Questions about this item

What connectors and cable length are included, and do I need any additional adapters?

The cable has SFF8654 8i on one end and SFF8654 8X on the other, measures .5 metre, and is a complete assembly with no extra adapters required.

Which version should I choose for a PCIe 24Gbps NVMe backplane?

This single 24Gbps 85ohm variant is built for PCIe 24Gbps NVMe backplanes and matching RAID controllers.

What does the 24Gbps rating mean once the cable is installed in a server?

It provides up to 24Gbps per lane across the eight lanes, giving the full PCIe 5.0 bandwidth needed for current enterprise NVMe SSDs.
