Connects PCIe 5.0 MCIO 8i to Slimline SAS 4.0 SFF8654 8i 74pin at 24Gbps using 85Ohm copper over .8m
- PCIe 5.0 MCIO to Slimline SAS 4.0 cross-generation link for modern servers
- 24Gbps bandwidth supports NVMe SSD and RAID storage performance
- 85Ohm controlled-impedance copper ensures stable signal integrity with low loss
- 74-pin SFF8654 8i high-density connector enables compact internal routing
- 8m length optimised for dense backplane and controller connections
Server interconnect cable
The SMUGDESK cable links a PCIe 5.0 MCIO 8i host port to a Slimline SAS 4.0 SFF8654 8i 74pin backplane connector. It is built for administrators wiring highdensity NVMe storage inside enterprise servers.
Bandwidth and signal limits
The assembly is rated for 24Gbps throughput using 85Ohm controlledimpedance copper conductors. Professional shielding reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference across the .8meter run.
Connector compatibility check
Verify that the controller exposes an MCIO 8i interface and the target backplane uses a 74pin SFF8654 8i receptacle before ordering. The cable will not mate with legacy SAS or standard MCIO pinouts.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 0.8m length or a longer cable for my server rack?
The 0.8m length is optimised for dense rackmount layouts; longer runs increase signal loss on 24Gbps links.
What does the 24Gbps rating mean when the cable is installed in a live server?
It provides up to 24Gbps bandwidth for NVMe SSD, HDD and RAID traffic across the link.
How does the Slimline SAS 4.0 SFF8654 8i 74pin interface limit real-world performance?
The 74pin connector carries eight lanes at SAS 4.0 speeds, capping the link at 24Gbps.
