MCIO x8 SFFTA1016 breakout cable

This 74pin MCIO x8 cable splits one host port into eight SATA 7Pin channels for server storage arrays. It connects up to eight SATA hard drives or SSDs directly to a compatible RAID controller or host adapter. The 75cm length suits dense chassis and rack internal routing. No driver or firmware installation is required for operation.

Locking connectors for vibration resistance

Both the MCIO 74pin and SATA 7Pin ends use latching connectors that resist accidental disconnection under server vibration. Shielded wire construction preserves signal integrity and reduces crosstalk during continuous operation. This is a data signal cable only and does not supply power to the attached drives. Separate SATA power connections are needed for each HDD or SSD.

Driverfree deployment for JBOD and RAID

The hardwareonly connection enables rapid setup of JBOD expansions, RAID arrays and backplane wiring projects. Compatibility is limited to hosts with the SFFTA1016 MCIO x8 74pin interface. The cable is not compatible with SFF8654 connectors. Buyers who need power delivery through the cable or support for other host interfaces cannot use this product.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth does the SFFTA1016 MCIO x8 74Pin interface cap at in practice?

The cable splits one SFFTA1016 MCIO x8 74Pin host port into eight independent SATA 7Pin channels for up to eight SATA drives.

What clearance and connector dimensions are needed to fit this 75cm breakout cable in a server chassis?

The 75cm length is optimised for dense server racks; both MCIO 74Pin and SATA 7Pin ends use locking-latch connectors that resist vibration.

How is the MCIO x8 to 8×SATA breakout cable installed, and which step is most often missed?

Connect the MCIO 74Pin end to the host or RAID controller and the eight SATA 7Pin ends to drives; remember this cable carries data only, so each drive still needs a separate SATA power connection.
