Gen5 PCIe MCIO 8654 30Gbps Interconnect
This 0.5 metre Gen5 PCIe cable uses SFF-8654 MCIO 4i connectors at both ends to link compatible storage controllers, NVMe backplanes or expansion cards inside a server chassis. Rated for 30Gbps bandwidth, it supports high-throughput data paths for RAID arrays and dense SSD clusters. Multi-layer shielding suppresses electromagnetic interference to preserve signal integrity during sustained read-write workloads. The fixed half-metre length keeps internal routing tidy without excess slack.
Suited for enterprise rack builds
System integrators assembling Dell, HP, Lenovo or Supermicro platforms will appreciate the precise MCIO docking that prevents loose contact under vibration. Builders who need longer reach between chassis zones or a different connector gender should select an alternative cable. Installations requiring external bulkhead connections or fibre-optic links are outside this product's scope. The cable addresses only internal point-to-point PCIe Gen5 links.
Shielded construction
Premium shielding reduces EMI so the link remains stable during intensive database or virtualisation workloads. The 0.5 metre tail eliminates cable-management guesswork and frees cabinet space for airflow. No software, drivers or active components are bundled; the adapter is a passive physical link. Compatibility hinges on the host hardware exposing matching MCIO 4i ports.

Questions about this item
What controller or backplane port does the MCIO 4i connector on this cable plug into?
It connects to any SFF-8654 MCIO 4i port on a PCIe Gen5 NVMe backplane, RAID controller or storage enclosure.
Can I use this 0.5 m cable with a PCIe Gen4 NVMe backplane that also has SFF-8654 MCIO 4i ports?
Yes, the cable is backward compatible and will carry Gen4 signals across the same MCIO 4i interface.
After installation, how do I confirm the link is running at the full 30 Gbps rate?
Check the controller firmware or OS utility; it should report a PCIe Gen5 x4 link on the attached NVMe devices.
