SMUGDESK PCIe 5.0 MCIO x8 74Pin to SAS 4.0 SFF-8654 8i Cable .8m 24Gbps

SKU CH-59K2-TAGMB

Connects PCIe 5.0 MCIO x8 74Pin to SAS 4.0 SFF-8654 8i at 24Gbps over .8m shielded length for server storage arrays

  • PCIe 5.0 protocol enables 24 Gbps bandwidth for high-speed data transfer
  • MCIO x8 74-pin to SAS 4.0 SFF-8654 8i direct conversion simplifies server connectivity
  • .8 m fixed length fits standard chassis wiring and improves airflow
  • Multi-layer shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and signal loss
  • Precision moulded pins ensure durable repeated plug-and-play reliability

Server-Grade Internal Cable

This 0.8 metre cable converts a PCIe 5.0 MCIO x8 74Pin male connector to a SAS 4.0 SFF-8654 8i 74Pin interface. It delivers up to 24Gbps bandwidth for high-speed data transmission inside servers and storage arrays. The multi-layer shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference and signal loss during continuous heavy-load operation. Precision-molded pins ensure a secure fit and durable repeated mating cycles.

Suited for Enterprise Storage Builds

It fits administrators wiring RAID controllers, backplanes or disk enclosures in standard server chassis where the 0.8 metre reach matches the internal layout. Builders needing a different connector pinout, a longer run for full-rack cabling, or an external bulkhead connection should look at other cable types. The fixed length and direct conversion design limit flexibility for non-standard chassis or mixed-generation architectures.

24Gbps PCIe 5.0 to SAS 4.0 Link

The decisive specification is the 24Gbps per lane bandwidth across the PCIe 5.0 and SAS 4.0 protocols. This throughput determines whether the cable can saturate modern enterprise SSDs and RAID controllers without becoming a bottleneck. Verify that both the host controller and the target backplane support the SFF-8654 8i interface at this speed before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What connectors must the motherboard and RAID card provide for this .8 m MCIO x8 74Pin to SAS 4.0 SFF-8654 8i cable?

The cable needs a PCIe 5.0 MCIO x8 74-pin male port on the motherboard or controller and a SAS 4.0 SFF-8654 8i 74-pin receptacle on the RAID card or storage enclosure.

Which orientation do the MCIO and SFF-8654 plugs require during installation, and what is the common mistake?

Both connectors are keyed; insert each straight until the latch clicks. The frequent error is forcing the MCIO plug upside-down, which bends the 74 precision pins.

When should the cable be inspected or replaced in a 24/7 server array running at 24Gbps per lane?

Check the shielding and latch integrity during every scheduled drive-bay service; replace the harness if the jacket shows abrasion, the latch no longer holds, or intermittent link errors appear.
