Product Overview
This high-speed adapter cable connects a host interface with a Slim SAS (SFF-8654) connector—commonly used on newer PCIe switch cards, advanced HBAs, or server backplanes—directly to a U.2 NVMe SSD with an SFF-8639 port. It is engineered specifically for PCIe (NVMe) protocol traffic, not traditional SAS/SATA, making it the ideal solution for all-flash arrays and high-performance computing storage.
Key Features
. NVMe-Optimized: Specifically designed for PCIe/NVMe protocol, ensuring full compatibility and performance with U.2 NVMe SSDs.
. High-Speed Data Transfer: Supports PCIe 4.0 speeds (and often backward compatible with PCIe 3.0), delivering exceptional bandwidth for data-intensive applications.
. Direct & Efficient Connection: Provides a point-to-point link from the host to the SSD, reducing latency compared to expanded or multiplexed connections.
. Slim SAS Interface: Utilizes the compact and efficient SFF-8654 connector, allowing for higher density in rack server designs.
. Secure Locking Mechanism: Features secure latches on both ends to ensure a reliable connection in high-vibration environments.
. Built-in Power Delivery: The SFF-8639 (U.2) end integrates both data and power connectors, eliminating the need for a separate power cable to the drive.
Common Applications
> Connecting U.2 NVMe SSDs to servers with onboard Slim SAS (SFF-8654) PCIe ports.
> Expanding all-flash storage in hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) and enterprise servers.
> Attaching high-performance NVMe drives to PCIe switch cards or specialized NVMe HBAs.
> High-performance computing (HPC), AI data pipelines, and real-time analytics storage systems.
How It Works
1. Identify an available Slim SAS (SFF-8654) port on your host system, which is designated for PCIe/NVMe use.
2. Connect the SFF-8654 end of the cable securely to this host port.
3. Connect the SFF-8639 (U.2) end of the cable directly to your NVMe SSD.
4. The SSD will be powered through the cable and recognized by the system as a native PCIe device, ready for formatting or array configuration.
