Adapter DELOCK Internal SFF-8654 to SFF-8654 (male), model 64179, Slim SAS 8i 90°

DELOCK Slim SAS 8i adapter provides a right-angle internal connection between two SFF-8654 interfaces, allowing Slim SAS 8i cables to link NVMe SSDs and other storage devices inside servers or chassis. The adapter is intended for use where space is limited and cable routing requires a 90° turn.

Advantages

The adapter offers a compact, low-profile solution for routing Slim SAS 8i connections at a 90° angle while preserving an SFF-8654 interface on both sides. It enables tighter cable management in rack or chassis environments and maintains the electrical and mechanical compatibility needed for NVMe SSD connectivity.

Suitable for

• Internal server connections where Slim SAS 8i (SFF-8654) cabling must be angled
• Storage enclosures and chassis with limited clearance for straight connectors
• Cable routing between backplanes and drive bays using Slim SAS 8i interfaces

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is for internal use and is not designed for external or weather-exposed applications. It provides a mechanical 90° orientation for SFF-8654 connectors but does not change protocol compatibility; ensure your system supports Slim SAS 8i and NVMe over the connected interfaces.

Key specifications

• Connection: internal, right-angle adapter
• Host interface: SFF-8654 (male)
• Output interface: SFF-8654 (male)
• Intended protocol/use: Slim SAS 8i / NVMe-compatible connections
• Mounting orientation: 90° angle for cable routing

How to use

Install the adapter inside the server or chassis by mating the SFF-8654 connectors with the corresponding Slim SAS 8i cable ends or ports. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that cables are routed without undue stress on the connector or surrounding components. Verify system recognition of connected NVMe devices after reassembly and power-up.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm internal use and sufficient clearance for a 90° adapter
• Verify that your system and cables use SFF-8654 Slim SAS 8i interfaces and support NVMe devices
• Check that both mating connectors are compatible with right-angle connection

Recommendations

Use the adapter to improve cable routing in tight spaces and avoid bending cables sharply; handle SFF-8654 connectors carefully during installation and test device connectivity after installation.
