Connection Purpose

This cable pair connects a Slim Line SAS 4.0 host port to a Mini SAS 4i target device. Each assembly carries four channels at 24 gigabits per second for SAS and 8 GT/s for PCIe per channel. The two-pack suits builders linking modern controllers to legacy backplanes or enclosures.

Host and Target Ports

Verify that your host controller or motherboard presents an SFF-8654 38-pin receptacle and that the target backplane or enclosure accepts an SFF-8087 36-pin plug. Both ends are male, so the mating ports must be female. The 1.6 foot length fits tight chassis routing but may not span full-tower distances.

Thermals and Power

Passive copper construction adds no active cooling requirement and draws no external power. Signal integrity meets SAS 3.0 and SlimSAS SFF-8654 specifications at the rated speed. The slim profile reduces airflow obstruction inside dense storage shelves.

Questions about this item

Does the 2-pack include both the SFF-8654 38-pin and SFF-8087 36-pin ends ready to connect, or do I need separate adapters?

Each cable has a male SFF-8654 38-pin plug on one end and a male SFF-8087 36-pin plug on the other; the 2-pack gives two complete assemblies with no extra adapters required.

Should I choose the 1.6 ft length for a typical server chassis or a longer run to an external enclosure?

At 1.6 ft the cable suits tight internal routing between a SlimSAS host port and a Mini SAS backplane; longer runs to external enclosures would need a different length.

What does the 24 Gbps per channel rating deliver when the cable is installed in a live system?

Each of the four lanes carries 24 Gbps SAS or 8 GT/s PCIe, so the link supports SAS-3.0 speeds between a SlimSAS controller and a Mini SAS target device.
