Connection Layout

This Vszerda cable splits a single SlimSAS x8 74pin connector into two SlimSAS x4 38pin connectors. It follows the SFF-9402 reference design for SAS and PCIe protocols. The male-to-male terminations suit backplanes that present paired x4 SFF-8654 ports.

Installation Notes

The Y-shaped assembly routes cleanly inside a chassis because the 80cm length gives slack for cable management. High-speed shielding protects signal integrity during the initial seat. Builders must verify that the backplane pinout matches the SFF-9402 specification before connecting.

Sustained Operation

Shielded construction maintains link stability when the cable carries continuous SAS traffic. The SFF-8654 interface supports SAS-4 signalling rates without degradation over the run. Controllers such as the 9560-16i, 9560-8i, 9580-8i8e, 9500-16i and 9500-8i drive this cable under steady load.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the SlimSAS x8 74pin to 2x x4 38pin cable is working correctly after connecting it to a backplane?

Verify the link comes up on a Broadcom 9560-16i, 9560-8i, 9580-8i8e, 9500-16i or 9500-8i controller and that the backplane reports two x4 SFF-8654 connections following the SFF-9402 pinout.

What does the package contain and what extra items are required for installation?

The box includes the Y-cable with one SlimSAS x8 74pin plug and two SlimSAS x4 38pin plugs; you must supply a compatible backplane with dual x4 SFF-8654 ports and a supported Broadcom controller.

Which version of the SlimSAS Y-cable should I choose for a Broadcom 9560-8i controller?

Select the x8 74pin (SFF-8654) to 2x x4 38pin (SFF-8654) cable built to the SFF-9402 reference, as used with Broadcom part 05-60004-00 and cable part 5067-6103.
