Grey braided 0.5m cable with 74-pin MCIO and SFF-8654 8I connectors

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK MCIO SFF-8654 8I 74Pin SAS Cable .5m PCIe 5.0

SKU CH-W2M6-GYEYB

A 50 cm MCIO to SFF-8654 8I cable linking server backplanes at 24 Gbps per lane over PCIe 5.0 and SAS 5.0

  • PCIe 5.0 and SAS 5.0 compliant for 24Gbps per lane bandwidth
  • 74Pin MCIO SFF-TA-1016 to SFF-8654 8I pin-to-pin connection design
  • 5 meter braided shielded cable ensures signal integrity and anti-interference
  • Latch locking gold-plated connectors prevent accidental disconnection in continuous operation
  • Professional grade for server backplanes, NAS, data center storage arrays

Cable Purpose & Audience

This 0.5 metre MCIO to SFF-8654 8I cable connects PCIe 5.0 and SAS 5.0 storage backplanes in enterprise servers and NAS appliances. It is built for integrators who need a fixed-length, high-bandwidth link between a Mini Cool Edge IO host port and an 8-lane Slimline SAS target device.

Build Integration & Clearance

The 50cm braided assembly uses 74Pin pin-to-pin wiring with latch-locking gold-plated connectors to prevent accidental disconnection inside dense 1U or 2U chassis. Its compact length reduces internal cable clutter, improving airflow around NVMe SSD trays without requiring custom cable routing or excess slack management.

Sustained Operation Behaviour

Multi-layer aluminium Mylar shielding plus outer braid suppresses electromagnetic crosstalk during continuous 24Gbps per lane transfers, keeping signal integrity stable under 24/7 data-centre workloads. Oxygen-free copper conductors minimise attenuation and error rates during prolonged high-frequency operation, supporting uninterrupted array rebuilds and sustained sequential I/O.

Highlights

  • PCIe 5.0 and SAS 5.0 compliant for 24Gbps per lane bandwidth
  • 74Pin MCIO SFF-TA-1016 to SFF-8654 8I pin-to-pin connection design
  • 5 meter braided shielded cable ensures signal integrity and anti-interference
  • Latch locking gold-plated connectors prevent accidental disconnection in continuous operation
  • Professional grade for server backplanes, NAS, data center storage arrays

Questions about this item

What is the maximum sustained data rate per lane this cable supports?

The cable supports up to 24 Gbps per lane under PCIe 5.0 and SAS 5.0 specifications.

How does the cable construction manage heat and signal integrity during continuous 24/7 operation?

High-purity oxygen-free copper conductors with multi-layer aluminum Mylar shielding and outer braided wrap suppress crosstalk and reduce signal attenuation in dense rack environments.

Which connectors must already be present on my backplane and controller for this cable to work?

One end requires a 74-pin MCIO (SFF-TA-1016) slot and the other a 74-pin SFF-8654 8I Slimline SAS receptacle.
