Slimline SAS MCIO 8i 74pin cable splitting to dual SFF8639 connectors with 15pin power lead

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 19.68 Inch Slimline SAS MCIO 8i 74Pin to Dual SFF8639 with 15Pin Power Cable

SKU CH-GPW9-R0GNX

Connects a Slimline SAS MCIO 8i 74pin port to dual SFF8639 U.2/SAS drives with integrated 15pin power at 24Gbps over 19.68inch length

  • Converts single MCIO 8i 74pin port to dual SFF8639 U.2/SAS drive interfaces
  • Supports 24Gbps SAS 4.0 bandwidth for U.2 NVMe SSDs and enterprise SAS drives
  • Integrated 15pin power cable supplies stable dedicated power for simplified server wiring
  • 68inch compact length optimizes short-distance routing in dense 2U/4U rackmount chassis
  • Server-grade shielded harness minimizes signal loss and crosstalk for reliable data center operation

Interface and Speed

This cable converts a single MCIO 8i 74pin Slimline SAS host port into dual SFF8639 U.2 and SAS drive interfaces. It is designed for enterprise storage expansion in servers and RAID controllers requiring high-speed connectivity.

Suitable Builds and Limits

It suits administrators adding U.2 NVMe SSDs or enterprise SAS drives to compatible MCIO-equipped backplanes. Builders whose host ports remain on SAS 3.0 or who lack an MCIO 8i connector should look at other cable assemblies.

Deciding Specification

The cable delivers 24Gbps SAS 4.0 bandwidth across its 19.68inch shielded harness. This specification determines whether the link can saturate modern U.2 NVMe and enterprise SAS devices without becoming a bottleneck.

Questions about this item

What host port must my server or RAID controller provide for this cable to connect?

The cable requires a single MCIO 8i 74pin Slimline SAS host port on the server or controller.

Can I keep using my current U.2 NVMe SSDs with this breakout cable?

Yes, the dual SFF8639 connectors accept U.2 NVMe SSDs and enterprise SAS drives at the cable's rated 24Gbps SAS 4.0 speed.

How do I verify the cable is delivering the rated 24Gbps link after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or OS utility for a negotiated 24Gbps SAS 4.0 link on each attached drive and confirm stable throughput with no errors.
