SMUGDESK PCIe 5.0 MCIO 74Pin 8X to Dual SFF-8087 36Pin Mini SAS Breakout Extension Cable 100cm

SKU CH-ZNNF-PKMV5

Splits one PCIe 5.0 MCIO 74Pin 8X port into two SFF-8087 36Pin Mini SAS channels over a 100cm shielded cable for server storage expansion

  • PCIe 5.0 bandwidth for ultra-fast storage links
  • One MCIO 74Pin 8X splits to dual SFF-8087 36Pin channels
  • 100cm length enables clean routing in large server chassis
  • Multi-layer shielding and gold-plated contacts cut signal loss and EMI
  • Built for RAID controllers, NVMe backplanes and enterprise storage arrays

PCIe 5.0 MCIO 74Pin to Dual SFF-8087 Breakout

This 100cm extension cable converts a single MCIO 74Pin 8X interface into two independent SFF-8087 36Pin Mini SAS channels. It is built for server storage expansion, linking PCIe 5.0 host adapters or RAID controllers to NVMe backplanes and drive enclosures. The design maintains full protocol bandwidth for high-speed internal data transfer.

Suits builders wiring large chassis.

The 100cm length provides the reach needed for rack-mounted cabinets and tower servers where connectors are far apart. Shielded construction and gold-plated pins ensure signal integrity under continuous heavy load. It is not for compact builds that demand shorter cable runs or direct MCIO-to-MCIO connections without a breakout.

100cm length enables routing in deep server racks

This specific reach resolves wiring difficulties in distributed storage devices and large enclosures, allowing tidy cable management that preserves airflow. Shorter cables cannot span the distance between a riser card and a front-mounted backplane in these configurations, making the 100cm dimension the deciding factor for deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the MCIO 74Pin 8X connector work with my existing PCIe 5.0 host adapter?

The cable is fully compliant with the PCIe 5.0 protocol, so the MCIO 74Pin 8X end connects directly to a compatible PCIe 5.0 host adapter or HBA RAID controller for maximum bandwidth.

How can I verify both SFF-8087 channels are active after installation?

Each SFF-8087 36Pin interface operates as an independent signal path; confirm both appear in your RAID controller BIOS or OS device manager and run a storage benchmark to validate throughput on each channel.

Does the 100cm cable include the dual SFF-8087 breakout or must I buy a separate splitter?

The single assembly already splits one MCIO 74Pin 8X male connector into two SFF-8087 36Pin Mini SAS HD interfaces, so no additional splitter or adapter is required.
