MCIO 38P to U.2 cable for PCIe 5.0 links
This 50 cm gender changer connects an MCIO 38-pin (SFF-TA-1016) host port to a U.2 (SFF-8639) device. It is built for system integrators and server builders who need a direct PCIe 5.0 pathway between backplanes and add-in cards. The cable is designed and manufactured in Taiwan under part number GHC38-1951.
Sustained PCIe 5.0 signalling across the 50 cm run
The fixed-length assembly maintains Gen5 signal integrity without active retimers, so bandwidth remains stable during continuous heavy I/O. It targets chassis layouts where the MCIO connector and U.2 bay are separated by roughly half a metre; longer routes or dense multi-lane bundles would require a different cable length or active equalisation.

Questions about this item
Does the 50 cm cable add noticeable heat or signal loss when running a PCIe 5.0 link all day?
The 50 cm length is within the PCIe 5.0 spec for passive copper, so it does not add measurable heat or signal loss during continuous operation.
What connector must my motherboard or backplane provide for the SFF-TA-1016 end to plug in?
Your board needs an MCIO 38-pin (SFF-TA-1016) receptacle to accept the changer.
