SlimSAS 8i to Dual Mini SAS Cable

This 50 cm cable connects a single SlimSAS 8i SFF-8654 port to two Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 ports. It supports 24 Gbps SAS and 16 GT/s PCIe signalling per channel. The male-to-male design links controllers or backplanes directly to storage devices. It is built to the SAS 4.0 and SlimSAS SFF-8654 specifications.

Suits dual-port SAS deployments

Builders adding two SAS drives or enclosures to one 8i controller will use this Y-cable. Systems that require a straight 1-to-1 SFF-8654 to SFF-8643 link cannot use the split ends. Installations needing longer reach than half a metre must source a different length.

24 Gbps per-channel speed

The cable carries 24 Gbps SAS and 16 GT/s PCIe on each lane, matching SAS 4.0 performance. Verify that your controller and backplane both signal at this rate before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does my backplane need an SFF-8654 port to use this cable?

Yes, the cable terminates in an SFF-8654 SlimSAS 8i connector, so the host or backplane must provide that 8i receptacle.

Can I plug my existing SFF-8643 Mini SAS HD drives into this cable?

The cable splits into two SFF-8643 Mini SAS HD connectors, so drives or backplanes with that interface will connect directly.

How do I verify the link is running at 24Gbps SAS after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or OS utility; it should report a negotiated speed of 24Gbps per lane on each SFF-8643 port.
