SMUGDESK 50CM PCIe 5.0 MCIO 8X 74Pin to Dual 36Pin SFF-8087 SAS Cable

SKU CH-79EN-H3BY3

Connects PCIe 5.0 MCIO 8X 74Pin to two SFF-8087 36Pin SAS ports with 50cm shielded cable for server storage arrays

  • PCIe 5.0 compliant MCIO 8X 74Pin splits to dual SFF-8087 for high-speed storage expansion
  • 50 centimeter length arranges server cabinet wiring neatly and optimizes internal airflow
  • Gold-plated 74Pin and 36Pin contacts reduce signal attenuation for stable high-frequency transmission
  • Shielded twisted pair internal wiring suppresses EMI interference for reliable 24/7 server operation
  • Professional server-grade breakout cable connects RAID adapters, JBOD enclosures and enterprise disk arrays

Enterprise Storage Connectivity

This 50cm breakout cable links a single PCIe 5.0 MCIO 8X 74Pin host port to two independent SFF-8087 Mini SAS connectors. It is designed for server builders and storage administrators expanding drive arrays on RAID controllers or JBOD enclosures. The assembly enables high-density device attachment without consuming additional motherboard slots.

Signal Integrity & Airflow

Gold-plated pins on both the 74Pin and dual 36Pin ends reduce attenuation for stable high-frequency transmission. Shielded twisted-pair construction suppresses electromagnetic interference during continuous 24/7 operation. The half-metre length keeps internal routing tidy and supports optimised chassis airflow.

PCIe 5.0 MCIO 8X Interface

The cable is fully compliant with the PCIe 5.0 specification, delivering the bandwidth required by current enterprise backplanes and accelerator cards. Systems lacking an MCIO 8X 74Pin port cannot use this assembly; those installations require a different interconnect topology.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the MCIO 8X 74Pin end to the motherboard and avoid bending the gold-plated pins?

Align the 74Pin male connector with the host MCIO 8X port, press straight in until the latch clicks, and route the 50cm shielded twisted pair cable so it does not kink near the connector.

What upkeep does the dual SFF-8087 breakout require for 24/7 server operation?

Inspect the 36Pin Mini SAS connectors and shielding for dust or loose latches during scheduled maintenance; reseat if contact resistance rises.

At what point does signal attenuation limit sustained PCIe 5.0 throughput on this 50cm assembly?

The 50cm length and gold-plated 74Pin/36Pin contacts are designed to keep attenuation within PCIe 5.0 spec for continuous 24/7 use.
