Slim Line SAS 4.0 SFF-8654 4i Cable

This 50cm fanout cable connects a host controller with a Slim SAS SFF-8654 4i 38-pin connector to four target drives using standard SATA 7-pin connectors. It supports SAS 4.0 and PCIe Gen3 specifications with a data rate of 24Gbps per channel for SAS and 8GT/s for PCIe. The male-to-male copper conductors are designed for internal server and workstation storage configurations. The compact connector form factor saves space inside dense chassis.

Suited For

This cable suits builders wiring four SATA hard disks or SSDs to a single SlimLine SAS 4i port on a RAID controller or backplane. It fits server and data-storage enclosures where the SFF-8654 interface is specified. It is not suited for installations needing a longer reach than 50cm or for direct attachment to drives that lack a native SATA 7-pin interface.

Deciding Specification

The host-side connector is a Slim SAS SFF-8654 4i 38-pin male plug; the four target ends are SATA 7-pin male plugs. Verify that your controller or backplane presents exactly this 38-pin SlimLine SAS 4i receptacle before ordering.

Questions about this item

What does the 24 Gbps per channel rating mean when the cable is installed in a server?

Each of the four lanes can move data at up to 24 Gbps for SAS traffic or 8 GT/s for PCIe Gen3, giving the full bandwidth the controller and drives negotiate.

Which specification does the SFF-8654 4i connector follow and what does that limit in practice?

The connector meets the SAS 3.0 and Ultraport SlimSAS SFF-8654 standards, so it caps at SAS 24 Gbps per lane and PCIe Gen3 8 GT/s per lane.

What clearance does the 38-pin Slim SAS plug and the 50 cm round cable need inside a chassis?

The straight 38-pin Slim SAS 4i plug and 1.6-foot round fan-out to four SATA 7-pin connectors are designed for tight server and workstation drive bays.
