Cable Kit INTEL Slim SAS SFF-8654 to 2x4 Slim SAS SFF-8654, model CYPCBLSLSSRIS

INTEL Cable Kit CYPCBLSLSSRIS provides a Slim SAS SFF-8654 to dual 4-port Slim SAS SFF-8654 connection intended for internal server and storage system cabling. The kit implements a single SFF-8654 input that splits to two 4-port Slim SAS SFF-8654 outputs, enabling connection of multiple SAS devices to one controller or backplane while maintaining signal integrity for high-speed SAS links. The cable design is suitable for short-run internal connections inside rack servers, JBOD enclosures and storage arrays.

Advantages

The kit preserves SAS signal quality and supports high-speed data transmission by using a purpose-built Slim SAS SFF-8654 assembly with controlled impedance. Its compact slim connector profile reduces space requirements in dense server and storage environments. The integrated breakout configuration simplifies internal wiring by converting a single upstream SFF-8654 connection into two downstream 4-port Slim SAS connectors without additional adapters. The assembly is engineered for compatibility with common server backplanes and SAS host bus adapters that use SFF-8654 slim connections.

Suitable for

• Internal cable routing in rack-mounted servers
• Connecting JBOD enclosures to a server or HBA
• Expanding drive connectivity on storage arrays and backplanes
• Environments requiring compact, high-density SAS cabling

Key specifications

• Connector type: Slim SAS SFF-8654 to dual 4-port Slim SAS SFF-8654 breakout
• Application: Internal SAS link splitting for server and storage systems
• Signal support: High-speed SAS data transmission with preserved signal integrity
• Form factor: Slim-profile connectors for space-constrained installations
• Typical use: Short internal cable runs within chassis and enclosures

How to use

Install the single SFF-8654 plug into the SAS controller or upstream backplane port, and connect the two 4-port Slim SAS outputs to the target drive backplanes or enclosures. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that cable routing avoids sharp bends and sources of electromagnetic interference. Confirm compatibility of host adapter and backplane connectors with SFF-8654 slim interfaces before installation. Power down equipment when performing internal cabling changes unless the system supports hot-plug procedures and safe service conditions.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable for internal connections only, maintain gentle cable bend radii, and keep cable lengths appropriate for internal chassis distances. Verify firmware and controller settings for multi-lane SAS links when connecting multiple devices through the breakout to ensure proper link negotiation and performance.
