The SlimSAS 8i SFF-8654 connector is a compact and high-density connector that connects the cable to the controller board. It features a low profile design with a small footprint, making it ideal for use in space-constrained applications. The cable supports Tri-Mode operation, which means it can be used with SAS, SATA, or NVMe drives. This makes it a versatile solution for a wide range of storage applications, including high-performance computing and data center environments. SFF-8639 U.3 connectors: The cable features eight SFF-8639 U.3 connectors on the other end, which are used to connect to the backplane. These connectors are designed to support high-speed data transfer rates and are backward compatible with earlier SAS and SATA generations. The cable measures one meter in length, making it suitable for connecting components within a server or storage chassis. This length provides flexibility in terms of cable routing while ensuring that the cable is not too long, which can lead to signal degradation. Micro SATA Cables PN # SLM-1886-8XU3
