SMUGDESK 0.5M MCIO 8X SFF-TA-1016 to 8 Ports SATA Breakout Cable

MCIO 8X to 8-Port SATA Breakout Cable

This 0.5-meter cable converts a single SFF-TA-1016 MCIO 8X host port into eight independent SATA connectors for server storage expansion. It enables administrators to attach up to eight 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA SSDs and hard drives through one slot. The shielded wiring resists electromagnetic interference in dense chassis environments during 24/7 operation. Each SATA terminal includes a locking latch to prevent accidental disconnection from vibration.

Suits RAID Controller Storage Arrays

System builders deploying large SATA hard-disk arrays on MCIO-equipped RAID controllers or host adapters will find this breakout cable essential for clean internal routing. The 1.6-foot length keeps wiring tidy inside rack-mounted cabinets and storage servers. Installers who require more than eight drive connections from a single port should look elsewhere because this cable splits into exactly eight SATA channels. Users without an MCIO 8X host interface cannot use this cable.

SFF-TA-1016 MCIO 8X Host Interface Required

The decisive specification is the SFF-TA-1016 MCIO 8X connector on the host side; the cable only functions when plugged into a compatible MCIO 8X port on a RAID card or host adapter. It provides eight standard SATA data interfaces with locking buckles for secure drive attachment. Shielded construction maintains signal integrity for continuous high-capacity HDD and SSD workloads. Verify that your controller exposes an MCIO 8X slot before purchasing.
