SMUGDESK OCuLink SFF8611 4i to SFF8087 36Pin Active Cable 50cm SSD Wire LatchLocked

SKU CH-NZTC-8BTZP

Connects OCuLink host ports to SFF-8087 backplanes with an active 12 Gbps SAS cable featuring latch-locked connectors for vibration-proof 50 cm routing

  • Active chip maintains 12Gbps PCIe Gen3/Gen4 throughput
  • Latch-locked SFF8611 and SFF8087 ends resist vibration
  • 50cm flexible length suits tight server builds
  • Gold-plated contacts cut EMI and signal loss
  • Designed for SAS backplane and slimline SSD links

PCIe Gen3/Gen4 active storage cable

This 50cm active cable bridges OCuLink SFF8611 4i host ports to SFF8087 36Pin backplane or slimline SSD connectors. Integrated signal conditioning preserves full 12Gbps bandwidth under PCIe Gen3 and Gen4 loads. Latch-locked ends on both sides resist vibration-induced disconnects in rackmount servers, workstations and NAS enclosures. Gold-plated contacts reduce EMI and attenuation for long-term reliability.

For internal PCIe storage links in dense chassis

Suits builders wiring RAID HBA cards, host controllers or motherboard OCuLink ports to SFF8087 storage backplanes where secure locking and signal integrity matter. Not for external connections, longer runs beyond the supplied length or any interface outside the PCIExpress storage domain. Buyers needing a different connector pinout, passive cable or non-locking plug should look elsewhere.

12Gbps sustained throughput with active equalisation

The on-cable chip compensates loss across the 50cm run so the link holds 12Gbps at PCIe Gen3 and Gen4 rates without retraining. This single figure determines whether the cable matches your controller and backplane speed targets.

Highlights

  • Active chip maintains 12Gbps PCIe Gen3/Gen4 throughput
  • Latch-locked SFF8611 and SFF8087 ends resist vibration
  • 50cm flexible length suits tight server builds
  • Gold-plated contacts cut EMI and signal loss

Questions about this item

Does this cable need a motherboard with an OCuLink SFF8611 4i port to function?

Yes, the SFF8611 4i end plugs directly into an OCuLink port on the motherboard or a RAID HBA card for the active signal chip to operate.

Will it work with my existing SFF8087 36Pin backplane and a PCIe Gen3 controller?

The SFF8087 connector mates with standard backplanes, and the active circuitry maintains full 12Gbps bandwidth under PCIe Gen3 specification.

How can I verify the 12Gbps link is active after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or OS storage utility for a negotiated 12Gbps link speed and zero reported errors on the attached drives.
