Internal Storage Link

This Vszerda cable bridges a Slimline SFF-8654 8i 74pin backplane to a dual SFF-8087 Mini SAS controller for servers and workstations. It carries four channels at 24 Gbps SAS or 8 GT/s PCIe per lane, meeting the SAS 4.0 specification. The 50 cm black assembly uses male-to-male connectors to save space inside dense chassis. ||

Fit Check

Suits integrators wiring high-density drive enclosures to standard RAID or HBA cards that only offer Mini SAS ports. Builders whose controllers already present Slimline 8654 ports, or who require external multilane cabling, will not use this assembly. ||

Deciding Spec

The single figure that decides fit is the 74-pin SFF-8654 connector on one end paired with two SFF-8087 plugs on the other; if your backplane or controller does not match that exact pairing, the cable cannot be used.

Questions about this item

Will the SFF-8654 74pin connector need periodic replacement under normal server use?

The cable is a passive assembly with no moving parts or active components, so the SFF-8654 74pin connector does not require scheduled replacement.

What is the first signal-integrity limit reached on a 50cm run at 24Gbps SAS?

At 50cm the cable meets the SAS4.0 eye-mask specification, so insertion loss and crosstalk remain within budget and no earlier limit appears.

Does the cable generate noticeable heat when carrying four lanes of 24Gbps SAS continuously?

As a passive copper assembly it dissipates negligible power, so no measurable temperature rise occurs during all-day operation.
