PCIe 5.0 Breakout Cable

This Gen5 Slimline MCIO cable converts a single SFF8654 8i port into two independent SFF8654 4i interfaces. It delivers 32Gbps bandwidth for nextgen enterprise NVMe SSDs and highperformance RAID controllers. The 1to2 breakout design suits highdensity storage expansion and multidrive deployments in server environments.

Installation and Common Issues

The cable uses a precision shielded lowloss copper wire harness to reduce signal attenuation and crosstalk. Flexible routing options include .5 meter and 1 meter lengths for compact chassis or standard rackmount layouts. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain signal integrity at 32Gbps speeds.

PreOrder Compatibility Check

Verify your host controller or backplane provides an SFF8654 8i port supporting PCIe 5.0 Gen5 operation. Confirm target drives or enclosures accept SFF8654 4i connectors for the breakout configuration. Check internal clearance for the chosen cable length to avoid sharp bends that could degrade performance.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the cable is delivering the full 32Gbps throughput after installation?

Monitor the link speed in the RAID controller BIOS or OS storage utility; each SFF8654 4i branch should negotiate at PCIe 5.0 x4, confirming 32Gbps per lane.

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The package contains only the MCIO 8i to dual SFF8654 4i breakout cable in the chosen length; compatible NVMe drives, RAID controllers and backplane connectors are not included.

Which length — 0.5M or 1M — suits a compact 1U server chassis?

The 0.5M (19.7in) variant fits tight 1U routing paths, while the 1M (39.37in) version reaches across standard rackmount workstation layouts.
