Connect MCIO 8i to dual SlimSAS

This 25 cm internal transmission cable links a single MCIO 8i host port to two SlimSAS backplane connectors. Silver-plated copper conductors and fluoropolymer insulation support 32 GT/s signalling for NVMe storage traffic. The flat, shielded profile measures 0.75 mm thick and is rated for 0 to 70 °C operation.

Suits dense server and industrial builds

Builders populating rackmount chassis or high-density workstations can route the ultra-thin cable without blocking airflow or stressing connectors. Systems that require a different connector pitch, longer reach, or single-port backplane attachment will need an alternative cable assembly.

Fits between controller and backplane

The male-to-male ends plug directly into a host adapter and a dual-port backplane, freeing PCIe slots that would otherwise be occupied by bulky adapter cards. No external power is drawn beyond the 0.5 A signal rating, so the cable adds no load to the system power budget.

Questions about this item

What host controller do I need to plug this MCIO 8i cable into?

You need a controller or motherboard with an MCIO 8i port that supports PCIe at 32 GT/s.

Can I keep my existing SlimSAS backplane when adding this cable?

Yes, the cable splits one MCIO 8i host connection into two SlimSAS ports for your current backplane.

How can I verify the link is running at the rated 32 GT/s after installation?

Check the PCIe link speed in your OS or BIOS; it should report 32 GT/s for each NVMe device.
