SFF-8654 8i to 8 SATA 12Gbps Cable

This 1 metre cable connects a single SFF-8654 8i 74-pin port to eight SATA 7-pin devices. It supports SAS 4.0 signalling at 12Gbps and uses 30AWG conductors inside a flexible protective sleeve. A locking latch on each SATA connector secures the link against vibration.

Builders expanding drive counts on a SlimSAS

Suits servers or workstations that expose an SFF-8654 8i interface and need up to eight SATA drives. The half-wrap scoop-proof design eases insertion in dense chassis. Installations requiring internal PCIe or U.2/U.3 direct attach cannot use this cable.

12Gbps SAS 4.0 rating over 30AWG conductors

The 12Gbps specification determines whether the link can saturate modern SAS SSDs or HDDs without signal degradation. If the host controller or backplane only negotiates 6Gbps, the cable will still function but at the lower speed.

Questions about this item

Does the 30 AWG wire gauge limit power delivery to drives during continuous operation?

The cable carries data only at 12 Gbps; power for the eight SATA drives must come from the host backplane or power supply, not through this 30 AWG assembly.

What host connector must my controller or backplane provide for the SFF-8654 8i 74Pin end to mate?

A Slim SAS 4.0 SFF-8654 8i 74Pin receptacle with a locking latch is required; the male plug on this cable engages that port directly.

Will the 12 Gbps rated cable negotiate down to 6 Gbps or 3 Gbps SATA drives I already own?

Yes, the SAS 4.0 interface auto-negotiates link speed, so legacy 6 Gbps and 3 Gbps SATA drives operate at their native rates through the eight 7-pin connectors.
