Slim SAS 4i cable for server storage

This 50cm cable connects a controller with a Slim SAS SFF-8654 4i host port to a backplane or target device using the same 38pin connector. It is built for internal wiring in servers, data-storage arrays and workstations where space is limited. The black Ultraport SlimSAS assembly carries four signal channels in a compact form factor.

SAS 4.0 24Gbps per channel

The cable meets the SAS 4.0 and SFF-8654 specifications, delivering 24Gbps on each of its four lanes. That bandwidth is the single figure that determines whether the link can saturate modern SAS drives or SSD backplanes without becoming a bottleneck. PCIe Gen3 at 8GT/s per lane is also supported for mixed environments.

Four lanes handle multi-drive arrays

Four 24Gbps lanes give enough aggregate throughput for several enterprise SAS SSDs or HDDs behind a single connector. The 50cm length suits typical chassis routing from a RAID card or HBA to a nearby backplane. Runs out when the controller or backplane requires a different pinout, a wider 8i connector or a longer reach than 50cm allows.

Questions about this item

What does 24 Gbps per channel mean once the cable is installed?

Each of the four lanes carries up to 24 Gbps of SAS traffic, so the link can move data at that rate across all four channels simultaneously.

What does the SAS 4.0 SFF-8654 interface cap in practice?

The SFF-8654 4i connector is rated for 24 Gbps per lane under the SAS 4.0 specification, limiting total throughput to four lanes at that speed.

What clearance does the 50 cm cable need to fit inside a chassis?

The 50 cm length connects a Slim SAS 4i host port to a Slim Line SAS target port, requiring enough internal routing space for a half-metre run between the two 38-pin connectors.
