SMUGDESK PCIe 5.0 MCIO x4 SFF-TA-1016 to U.2 SFF-8639 NVMe Cable 70cm

SKU CH-7500-MAGAD

Connects an MCIO SFF-TA-1016 port to a U.2 SFF-8639 NVMe SSD with PCIe 5.0 x4 speed, backward compatible with 4.0 and 3.0.

  • PCIe 5.0 x4 enables ultra-high speed transfers
  • Backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 standards
  • Converts MCIO SFF-TA-1016 to U.2 SFF-8639 NVMe
  • Integrated power connector supplies stable drive power
  • 70cm shielded cable with gold-plated contacts reduces interference

PCIe 5.0 MCIO to U.2 Adapter

This adapter cable links an MCIO SFF-TA-1016 host port to a U.2 SFF-8639 NVMe drive. It targets server and workstation builders who need to add high-speed storage without changing the backplane. The 70cm length suits typical chassis routing in rackmount or tower systems. It includes a dedicated power connector so the drive receives stable supply directly from the cable.

PCIe 5.0 x4 bandwidth ceiling

The cable is built to the PCIe 5.0 x4 specification and remains compatible with 4.0 and 3.0 links. Actual throughput will not exceed the lane count or generation negotiated by the host controller and the attached SSD. Shielded construction and gold-plated contacts protect signal integrity at 5.0 speeds. No active retimer or signal conditioning is present on this passive assembly.

MCIO SFF-TA-1016 host port required

This product only works when the motherboard or add-in card exposes an MCIO SFF-TA-1016 x4 connector. Systems limited to standard U.2, M.2 or SlimSAS ports cannot use this cable without a separate adapter. Buyers whose platforms lack the MCIO interface must select a different interconnect solution.

Questions about this item

Should I pick a different length or connector style for my server build?

This cable is a fixed 70cm MCIO SFF-TA-1016 to U.2 SFF-8639 assembly with an integrated power connector; no other lengths or styles are offered.

What does PCIe 5.0 x4 actually deliver when I plug a U.2 NVMe drive into this cable?

It provides a four-lane PCIe 5.0 link to the drive, enabling the SSD's full sequential throughput while remaining compatible with PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 hosts.

Does the MCIO SFF-TA-1016 interface limit the speed of a PCIe 5.0 U.2 NVMe SSD?

The MCIO SFF-TA-1016 connector carries a native PCIe 5.0 x4 signal, so it does not cap the drive below its rated generation.
