- PCIe Gen5 delivers 30Gbps bandwidth for enterprise NVMe backplanes
- SFF-8654 MCIO 4i male connectors ensure precise direct docking
- 8m length optimises internal cabinet wiring and reduces clutter
- Multi-layer full shielding blocks EMI for stable high-speed transmission
- Compatible with Dell HP Lenovo Supermicro rack servers and NVMe chassis
Server NVMe backplane cable
This 0.8-meter SFF-8654 MCIO 4i to MCIO 4i cable connects NVMe backplanes inside enterprise rack servers. It delivers up to 30Gbps bandwidth for intensive SSD array and RAID storage workloads. The design targets system builders expanding storage capacity in Dell, HP, Lenovo or Supermicro platforms.
Direct plug with shielded routing
Both ends use a male MCIO 4i connector that mates directly without adapters for a secure fit. Multi-layer shielding suppresses EMI to maintain signal integrity under continuous heavy load. The fixed 0.8m length reduces excess cable inside the chassis, though it limits placement to nearby backplane bays.
Gen5 PCIe bandwidth ceiling
The link tops out at 30Gbps, so configurations needing higher throughput per lane will hit this ceiling. It serves Gen5 NVMe connections only; older or newer signalling standards are not supported. Builders requiring longer runs or different connector keying must choose another cable.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the cable is delivering the 30Gbps bandwidth after installation?
Run a sustained NVMe sequential read-write test across the connected SSD array and confirm throughput approaches the rated 30Gbps without errors or signal drops.
What connectors are included and do I need any extra brackets or adapters?
The cable has SFF-8654 MCIO 4i male plugs on both ends; no additional brackets or adapters are required for direct backplane-to-controller links.
Is the .8 meter length the only option or are other lengths available for different chassis depths?
This listing supplies the .8 meter version; other lengths are separate products and not included here.
