SlimSAS 8i S?FF-8654 to 2 X SFF-8639 U.2 Cable Tri-Mode- 1 Meter

Internal storage cable engineered to connect a SlimSAS 8i host interface to two U.2 NVMe SSDs, delivering PCIe Gen4 throughput up to 128 Gbps per drive. The 1-meter length and tri-mode compatibility make it a dependable link for high-performance server and workstation storage arrays.

Advantages

Gold-plated contacts and copper conductors ensure stable signal integrity, while the black shielding reduces electromagnetic interference. Hot-swap support allows drive replacement without downtime, and the dual U.2 connectors maximize storage density from a single host port.

Suitable for

• Tri-mode HBA and controller environments requiring NVMe, SAS, or SATA protocol flexibility
• Rack servers and workstations with limited internal space for multiple U.2 drives
• IT professionals building PCIe Gen4 storage solutions with backward compatibility to Gen3
