Two black SAS cables with SFF-8654 and SFF-8087 connectors, 1.6FT length

Vszerda

Vszerda SFF-8654 to SFF-8087 SAS cable 1.6FT 2-pack

SKU CH-5W9X-PAZKE

Two 1.6 ft cables link a 38-pin SFF-8654 host to a 36-pin SFF-8087 target, delivering four channels at 24 Gbps SAS and 8 GT/s PCIe 4.0 per lane

  • Saves space inside the chassis with compact SFF-8654 connectors
  • Delivers 24Gbps per channel across four lanes for high-throughput SAS links
  • Compliant with SAS 3.0 and SFF-8654 specifications for reliable interoperability
  • Connects 38-pin SlimSAS hosts to 36-pin Mini SAS targets without adapters
  • Includes two 1.6FT cables for dual-port or redundant configurations

Connector Interface & Length

The Vszerda SFF-8654 to SFF-8087 cable bridges a 38-pin SlimSAS host port to a 36-pin Mini SAS target port. Each cable measures 1.6 ft and the pack contains two units. They operate at 24 Gbps for SAS and 8 GT/s for PCIe per channel.

Suitable Builds & Limits

This cable suits builders connecting modern SlimSAS controllers or backplanes to legacy Mini SAS drives or enclosures. It is not for systems that lack an SFF-8654 host connector or an SFF-8087 target port. Buyers needing different pin counts or longer runs should look elsewhere.

Deciding Specification

The cable meets the SAS 3.0 and Ultraport SlimSAS SFF-8654 specifications with four lanes of 24 Gbps SAS or 8 GT/s PCIe signalling. Verify that both host and target devices support these connector types and speeds before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 38-pin SFF-8654 connector on this cable need periodic replacement?

The SFF-8654 connector is a passive component rated for standard mating cycles; no scheduled replacement is required unless physical damage occurs.

What is the first limit reached when running four channels at 24Gbps SAS continuously?

The cable meets SAS3.0 and SFF-8654 4.0 specifications, so the signalling limit of 24Gbps per channel is the design ceiling.

How much heat does the 1.6FT cable generate during all-day 8GT/s PCIe traffic?

As a passive copper assembly it produces negligible heat; any temperature rise comes from the connected controller or backplane, not the cable itself.
