PCI-E 5.0 SAS Extender Cable

This 100 cm cable connects an SFF-8654 MCIO 8i 74-pin male connector to a 4i 38-pin male connector. It is built for servers and workstations that require extended reach between backplanes and controllers. The braided construction adds durability for rack environments. Installers benefit from plug-and-play simplicity with clearly labelled ends.

PCI-E 5.0 Link Support

The single specification that determines fit is the PCI-E 5.0 rating across the SFF-8654 interface. This cable carries the full 5.0 signal budget between an 8i wide port and a 4i narrow port without active components. If your backplane or HBA is limited to an earlier generation the cable will still function but cannot deliver the 5.0 throughput ceiling.

Sustained Signal Integrity

Shielded conductors and secure-lock connectors keep the link stable during continuous high-throughput workloads such as large-array rebuilds or sustained sequential writes. The braided jacket resists flex fatigue in dense cable trays where vibration is constant. No active equalisation is present so signal quality depends on the host and device PHY margins over the full 100 cm run.

Questions about this item

What does PCI-E 5.0 support mean for real-world throughput on this cable?

The cable is built to carry PCI-E 5.0 signalling across its SAS lanes, so the link speed is limited by the host controller and the attached drives rather than by the cable itself.

Which SAS interface standard does the SFF-8654 connector implement?

The SFF-8654 connectors follow the SAS-4 specification, providing a 74-pin 8i plug on one end and a 38-pin 4i plug on the other for four-lane SAS connectivity.

How much clearance does the 100 cm braided cable need for routing in a server chassis?

At 100 cm long with a braided jacket, the extender reaches between backplanes or from a RAID card to a drive cage while the secure-lock connectors stay seated under vibration.
