SMUGDESK MCIO 8i 74Pin to Slimline SAS 4.0 SFF8654 74Pin Male Cable 50cm
A 50 cm SAS cable links an MCIO 8i 74-pin male connector to a Slimline SAS 4.0 SFF8654 74-pin male connector for PCIe 5.0 server storage interconnects
- PCIe 5.0 compliant link enables next-gen server storage speeds
- 74-pin high-density design carries ultra-high bandwidth enterprise data
- 50 cm compact length simplifies internal chassis routing and layout
- Precision shielding reduces signal loss, crosstalk and EMI
- Server-grade build supports RAID controllers and U.2 SSD arrays
MCIO 8i to Slimline SAS 4.0 cable
This 50cm extender connects an MCIO 8i 74pin male port to a Slimline SAS 4.0 SFF8654 74pin male port. It is built for enterprise server storage interconnection and highdensity U.2 SSD arrays. The cable supports PCIE 5.0 compliant bandwidth for nextgeneration storage hardware. Installers working in compact chassis will value the short routing length.
Shielded 74pin design limits signal loss
Multilayer shielding and pure copper conductors minimise attenuation, crosstalk and electromagnetic interference across the 74pin highdensity interface. The 50centimetre length reduces the physical path for lowlatency delivery inside dense enclosures. Longer runs or external routing would require a different cable specification. This assembly is fixed at 50cm and cannot be extended.
Crossinterface MCIO to SFF8654 compatibility
The single deciding specification is the male MCIO 8i 74pin to male Slimline SAS 4.0 SFF8654 74pin pinout match. Your controller and backplane must present these exact connectors for the cable to function. Builders needing a different connector gender, pin count or SAS generation cannot use this part.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the MCIO 8i 74Pin or the Slimline SAS 4.0 SFF8654 74Pin end for my controller?
Both ends are fixed on this cable; the MCIO 8i 74Pin male connects to a PCIe 5.0 MCIO port and the Slimline SAS 4.0 SFF8654 74Pin male connects to a SAS 4.0 device or backplane.
What does the PCIe 5.0 rating mean once the cable is installed in a server?
The cable is built to carry PCIe 5.0 signalling across the MCIO 8i 74Pin interface, so the link speed is limited by the host controller and the attached SAS 4.0 device, not by the cable itself.
Which interface standard does the SFF8654 connector follow and what does that cap in practice?
The SFF8654 connector follows the SAS 4.0 specification, so the practical ceiling is the SAS 4.0 link rate negotiated between your RAID controller and the U.2 SSD array.
