Vszerda SAS 4.0 SFF-8654 8i 74pin to Slim SAS 100cm
Connects a Slim SAS 8i 74pin host to a Slim SAS 8i 74pin target at 24 Gbps over 100 cm
- SAS 4.0 specification delivers 24 Gbps per channel
- Slim SFF-8654 74-pin connectors save device space
- Four channels enable parallel signal transmission
- 100 cm length suits server and workstation chassis
- Connects Slim SAS 8i host to Slim Line SAS target
Connection type and audience
This cable links a host controller with an SFF-8654 8i 74pin connector to a target device using the same Slim SAS interface. It is intended for technicians integrating internal storage in servers, data storage arrays or workstations that require a SAS 4.0 link.
Build quality and daily implications
The 50cm length suits compact chassis routing while the identical 74pin connectors on both ends simplify installation without adapters. A slim profile reduces cable bulk and improves airflow around densely packed drive backplanes and controller cards.
Deciding specification
Each of the four channels carries 24Gbps for SAS and 8GT/s for PCIe, meeting the SAS 4.0 and SFF-8654 specifications. Buyers needing a different lane count or a longer reach must select another part.

Questions about this item
What data rate does the SAS 4.0 SFF-8654 8i cable support per channel?
The cable supports 24Gbps for SAS and 8GT/s for PCIe per channel, meeting the SAS 4.0 specification.
Which connectors must the host and target devices provide for this 100cm Slim SAS assembly?
Both ends use a Slim SAS 8i 74pin connector; the host and target each need a matching SFF-8654 8i port.
How is the cable installed and what common mistake should be avoided?
Align the keyed 74pin plugs with the SFF-8654 ports and press straight in until the latch clicks; forcing the connector at an angle can bend the dense pins.
