LORDWORLD OCuLink SFF-8611 8X to Dual 4X Active Cable 50cm

SKU CH-APVE-K1BVR

Splits one OCuLink SFF-8611 8x port into two 4x connections for internal SSDs at up to 16Gbps over 50cm

  • Connects 8-lane controller to two 4-lane backplanes using SFF-8611 80pin male to dual 4x male
  • Active cable supports data transfer rate up to 16Gbps over 50cm length
  • Active latch lock secures connection to mating part preventing accidental disconnection
  • Requires free OCuLink 8x 80pin interface on host system for installation
  • Splits single 8x port into dual 4x ports for expanded internal device connectivity

Connectivity & Purpose

This active cable converts a single OCuLink SFF-8611 8x 80pin male port into two SFF-8611 4x male connectors. It enables internal links between a controller and a backplane or other devices that use the 4x interface. The cable supports data rates up to 16Gbps and features active latches for secure mating. Length is 50cm.

Suitable Builds & Limitations

It suits builders splitting an 8-lane OCuLink port into two 4-lane device connections inside a chassis. It does not suit systems lacking a free OCuLink 8x 80pin interface or installations needing longer reach than 50cm. Buyers who want more than two 4x branches or a passive cable should look elsewhere.

Deciding Specification

The cable provides one SFF-8611 8x 80pin male plug that splits into dual SFF-8611 4x male plugs with active latches. Verify your controller presents exactly this 80pin 8x header and that each target device accepts the 4x connector before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need an OCuLink SFF-8611 8x 80pin port for this cable to work?

Yes, the cable requires a free OCuLink 8x 80pin interface on the host controller or motherboard to operate.

Will the dual SFF-8611 4x connectors split the 16Gbps bandwidth evenly between two backplanes?

Each 4x link carries up to 16Gbps, so both connected devices can run at full lane speed simultaneously.

How can I verify the active latch is engaged after I plug the cable in?

Push each connector until the latch clicks audibly and the metal tab sits flush against the port housing.
