Innocard EP7102 M.2 PCIe 5.0 to MCIO 38P + U.2 cable 50cm

SKU CH-0RNT-82MTV

Connects an M.2 PCIe 5.0 device to MCIO 38P and U.2 with a built-in ReDriver for 32 GT/s signal integrity

  • Changer TypePCIe Gen5
  • Connects M.2 PCIe 5.0 devices to MCIO 38P and U.2 via 50cm cable
  • Built-in ReDriver extends PCIe 5.0 32GT/s signals over longer traces
  • 100MHz clock buffer drives extended cable lengths reliably
  • SMBus repeater with hot-swappable level translation enables safe device swaps
  • LEDs show 3.3V power ready and PERST# status at a glance

M.2 PCIe 5.0 adapter with ReDriver

The Innocard EP7102 converts an M.2 PCIe 5.0 slot to an MCIO 38-pin interface using a built-in ReDriver and clock buffer. It targets system integrators extending high-speed signals over a 50 cm cable to a U.2 device. The kit includes the adapter board and the MCIO-to-U.2 cable assembly.

Verify MCIO 38-pin pinout and cable routing

Confirm the host board routes REFCLKp to B11, REFCLKn to B12, SMCLK to A8, SMDAT to A9, PERST# to A11, WAKE# to B8, CLKREQ# to A12 and PWRDIS to B9. The adapter requires a 3.3 V supply capable of 3 A and uses a load switch with reverse-current protection. Hot-plug support depends on the SMBus repeater and level translator.

Sustained operation with signal integrity features

The onboard PCIe 5.0 ReDriver maintains 32 GT/s differential pairs across the 50 cm link while the 100 MHz clock buffer drives longer traces. Green LED shows 3.3 V ready; red LED transitions from on to off when PERST# signals are normal. Compliance covers PCIe 5.0 base spec, CEM 5.1 and SFF-TA-1016 Rev 1.2.

Questions about this item

What connectors and cables are included in the EP7102 kit and what must be sourced separately?

The kit contains the M.2 PCIe 5.0 adapter with ReDriver, an MCIO 38P to MCIO 38P cable and an MCIO 38P to U.2 cable, both 50 cm long. M.2 drive and host board with MCIO 38P ports are not included.

Which version of the EP7102 should I choose for a PCIe 5.0 M.2 drive?

The single EP7102 model supports PCIe 5.0 at 32 GT/s and complies with the PCI Express Base Specification Rev 5.0 and SFF-TA-1016 Rev 1.2, so it matches a Gen 5 M.2 drive.

What does the 32 GT/s rating mean when the adapter is installed in a live system?

The on-board ReDriver and 100 MHz clock buffer extend the 32 GT/s differential signals over the 50 cm cables, while the load switch, SMBus repeater and PERST# translator keep power and side-band sequencing stable.
