DELOCK PCIe 4.0 Slim SAS cable SFF-8654 8i to 2× Mini SAS HD SFF-8643, 0.5 m

DELOCK PCIe 4.0 Slim SAS cable SFF-8654 8i to 2× Mini SAS HD SFF-8643, 0.5 m is a slim-profile external/internal SAS interface cable designed to connect a single SFF-8654 8i host port to two Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 device ports. With 0.5 m length and a compact design, the cable is intended for routing in space-constrained server and storage environments while supporting high-speed PCIe 4.0 SAS signalling for reliable data transfer and RAID configurations.

Advantages

The slim construction reduces cable bulk and improves airflow within server racks and storage enclosures. Native support for PCIe 4.0 SAS signalling ensures compatibility with modern high-performance SAS controllers and devices. Split connectivity (one SFF-8654 8i to two SFF-8643) allows two SAS devices to be connected to a single host port without additional adapters. A 0.5 m length provides a balance between flexibility and neat cable management in compact installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting two SAS devices (Mini SAS HD SFF-8643) to one host port (SFF-8654 8i) in servers
• High-density storage enclosures and RAID arrays
• Short-distance internal or external connections where slim routing is required

Key specifications

• Connector A: SFF-8654 8i (host)
• Connector B: 2× Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 (device)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Standard: PCIe 4.0 / SAS signalling support
• Design: slim profile for improved routing and airflow

How to use

Identify the SFF-8654 8i host port on the controller or host card and align the connector with the corresponding port. Insert the SFF-8654 connector firmly until it seats. Connect the two Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 ends to the device ports on target drives or backplanes, ensuring proper orientation and seating. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it clear of fans or heat-generating components. Verify device detection in the system BIOS or RAID management utility and configure RAID or device settings as required.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short internal or external connections within 0.5 m distance. Avoid excessive bending near the connectors, maintain good airflow in server racks, and ensure compatibility with the host controller and devices supporting PCIe 4.0 SAS signalling.
