Short black breakout cable with MCIO connector splitting to dual Mini SAS HD ends

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK PCIe 5.0 MCIO 8X 8i to Dual Mini SAS HD SFF8643 Cable 0.5M 32Gbps

SKU CH-3GR6-HMP7X

PCIe 5.0 breakout cable converts one MCIO 8X 8i port to dual SFF8643 Mini SAS HD ports at 32Gbps for NVMe and SAS drives

  • Converts MCIO 8X 8i to dual SFF8643 ports
  • Delivers 32Gbps bandwidth for NVMe and SAS drives
  • Low-loss copper harness ensures signal integrity
  • 5M length fits tight server chassis
  • Shielded design reduces crosstalk in dense builds

Breakout Cable for PCIe 5.0 MCIO 8X 8i

This PCIe 5.0 certified breakout cable converts a single MCIO 8X 8i port into two independent Mini SAS HD SFF8643 ports. It delivers stable 32Gbps bandwidth for next-generation NVMe SSDs, SAS drives and RAID controllers. The 0.5M low-loss copper harness with optimized shielding minimizes signal loss and crosstalk in dense server chassis.

Suits servers and workstations expanding MCIO

Builders adding NVMe or SAS drives to a PCIe 5.0 MCIO 8X 8i backplane will find the short length and dual-port split ideal. Not for buyers who need longer reach between chassis or external drive enclosures. Not for systems that require legacy SFF8643 pinouts or different lane configurations.

32Gbps over 0.5M MCIO to dual SFF8643

The single specification that decides fit is the 32Gbps PCIe 5.0 link across the 0.5M MCIO 8X 8i to dual SFF8643 breakout. Verify the host MCIO port is 8X 8i and the target devices use Mini SAS HD SFF8643 connectors before ordering.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the cable is delivering 32Gbps bandwidth after connecting NVMe drives?

Check the RAID controller or operating system link speed report; it should show PCIe 5.0 x8 negotiated speed for each SFF8643 port when drives are active.

What connectors are included and do I need any adapters for my RAID card?

The cable has one MCIO 8X 8i plug and two SFF8643 Mini SAS HD plugs; no extra adapters are required if your controller and backplane match those interfaces.

When should I choose the 0.5M length versus a longer run?

Select the 0.5M version when routing inside a dense 1U or 2U chassis where longer cables would block airflow or exceed bend-radius limits.
