  • Shielded design maintains stable signal for long-term operation

MCIO x8 to Dual U.2 NVMe Cable

This adapter cable converts a single 74Pin MCIO x8 port into two 68Pin SFF-8639 U.2 interfaces. It enables the connection of dual NVMe solid-state drives for expanded high-speed storage capacity. The assembly complies with the PCIe 4.0 standard to support fast data transmission rates. An integrated power connector delivers steady power to the attached U.2 SSDs.

Check MCIO Port and Drive Compatibility

Verify that your motherboard or controller provides a 74Pin MCIO x8 port with PCIe 4.0 signalling before ordering. Confirm that the target drives use the 68Pin SFF-8639 U.2 form factor and accept power from the cable's integrated connector. Ensure the 80cm length suits the internal routing path inside your specific server or workstation chassis.

Fits Servers and Workstations for Storage Expansion

The shielded cable design maintains stable signal integrity for reliable long-term operation in dense systems. It frees up additional drive bays by allowing two NVMe SSDs to connect through a single MCIO interface. The integrated power supply simplifies cabling by removing the need for separate power leads to each drive. This adapter suits builders expanding NVMe storage within enterprise or workstation environments.

Questions about this item

What connectors are included on the cable and do I need to buy a separate power cable?

The cable has a 74-pin MCIO x8 plug on one end and two 68-pin SFF-8639 U.2 connectors on the other, plus an integrated power connector so no separate power cable is required.

How do I choose between the single and dual U.2 versions of this adapter?

This model is the dual U.2 version; it splits one MCIO x8 lane into two U.2 ports so you can attach two NVMe drives simultaneously.

What does the PCIe 4.0 rating mean for actual SSD speeds in my server?

PCIe 4.0 lets each U.2 NVMe SSD run at up to 16 GT/s per lane, so the x8 link can deliver full bandwidth to both drives when the host and SSDs also support PCIe 4.0.
