InLine Slim SAS cable SFF-8654 8X to SFF-8654 8X 48 Gb/s 0.5m

The InLine Slim SAS cable SFF-8654 8X to SFF-8654 8X 48 Gb/s 0.5m is a high-density internal connection cable designed to link SAS storage devices such as hard drives, SSDs or enclosures to host adapters and controllers (HBA cards, RAID controllers, JBOD, DAS, SANs). With a compact Slim SAS SFF-8654 connector and 0.5 m length, it supports data transfer rates up to 48 Gb/s for reliable, low-loss connectivity in rack and server environments.

Advantages

The cable provides a standardized SFF-8654 8X interface for compatibility with modern SAS controllers and storage enclosures, supporting 48 Gb/s transfer speeds. Its slim form factor reduces space usage and improves airflow in dense server racks. The 0.5 m length minimizes signal attenuation for short internal runs while maintaining robust mechanical connection and electrical integrity.

Suitable for

• Connecting internal SAS drives to HBA or RAID controller cards
• Linking JBOD/DAS enclosures to servers
• Short in‑server connections where space is limited
• High-performance storage arrays requiring 48 Gb/s links
