SlimSAS SFF-8654 4i to 4 Right Bend SATA 7P Cable

The SlimSAS SFF-8654 4i to 4 Right Bend SATA 7P Cable is a high-density internal breakout cable designed for modern data center and enterprise storage environments where space optimization and efficient cable routing are critical. This cable provides a vital interface conversion, splitting a single SlimSAS (SFF-8654) 4-lane host interface into four independent SATA 7-pin connectors featuring a right-angle bend design. Engineered to support high-speed data transfer protocols, this cable ensures reliable connectivity from modern host systems to multiple SATA drives, offering a space-saving solution that simplifies cabinet management and improves thermal performance in dense server configurations.

Features

• Hybrid Interface Solution: Bridges the modern SlimSAS SFF-8654 4i interface with four legacy SATA 7-pin connectors, providing backward compatibility for existing SATA drive infrastructures while utilizing current host interface technology.
• Right-Angle Bend Design: The right-bend SATA connectors are engineered for installations in space-constrained environments, enabling optimal cable routing and reducing obstruction in high-density server chassis.
• High-Speed Data Support: Supports high-speed data transfer protocols, including PCIe and SAS, with data rates capable of meeting the demands of enterprise storage applications.
• Enhanced Signal Integrity: Utilizes precision-engineered cables and multi-layer shielding to minimize signal degradation, crosstalk, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring stable data transmission.
• Space-Efficient Design: The SlimSAS connector's compact form factor (0.6mm pitch) allows for high-density configurations on host boards, while the right-bend SATA connectors facilitate efficient cable management.
• Secure Connection System: Features robust connectors with positive latching mechanisms to ensure stable connections in vibration-prone environments and prevent accidental disconnection.
