‌SlimSAS 8i S‌FF-8654 to SlimSAS 8i Cable GEN4 - 1 Meter

‌The SlimSAS 8i SFF-8654 to SlimSAS 8i cable is a high-speed internal data cable designed to connect devices using the SlimSAS (Small Form Factor Serial Attached SCSI) interface, specifically the SFF-8654 connector type. This Gen4 version supports the PCIe 4.0 and SAS4.0 protocols, enabling data transfer rates up to 16 GT/s per lane (or 64 GT/s for an x4 link).

• Connector A & B: SlimSAS 8i (SFF-8654) on both ends

• Length: 1 meter

• Protocol support: PCIe Gen4 / SAS-4.0

• Bandwidth: Up to 256 Gbps (for 8 lanes total)

• Usage: Internal high-speed data connections

Common Uses:

1. Server Storage Connectivity:

   • Connecting RAID cards or HBA controllers to backplanes, NVMe U.2/U.3 drive bays, or expander boards.

2. High-Speed Data Transmission:

   • Ideal for use in data centers, enterprise servers, and high-performance computing environments that require PCIe Gen4 throughput.

3. NVMe and SAS Drive Support:

   • Can be used in systems that support NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) or SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) drives, depending on the controller.

4. OEM and Custom Server Builds:

   • Frequently used by system integrators and OEMs in custom server or workstation builds that require compact, reliable, and high-speed internal cabling.
