SMUGDESK PCIe 5.0 MCIO x8 to MCIO 8i Cable 32Gbps 40cm

SKU CH-74Q3-K3VA9

A PCIe 5.0 cable delivering 32Gbps bandwidth to connect U.2 drives via MCIO x8 to MCIO 8i with a space-saving 40cm straight-to-side bend

  • PCIe 5.0 delivers 32Gbps bandwidth for fast U.2 SSD transfers
  • Straight-to-side bend design saves space inside server chassis
  • 40cm length fits standard internal server layouts
  • Works with Supermicro, Dell, HPE, Lenovo and Asus systems
  • Shielded construction reduces signal loss for reliable long-term operation

Server U.2 cable 32Gbps

This PCIe 5.0 MCIO x8 to MCIO 8i extension cable connects U.2 storage drives to server backplanes. It delivers 32Gbps bandwidth for enterprise storage arrays and high-speed data workloads. The straight-to-side bend design suits tight chassis routing.

Straight-to-side bend 40cm

The 40cm length and angled connector reduce cable clutter inside dense server enclosures. Shielded construction limits electromagnetic interference and signal loss during continuous operation. The blue jacket aids visual identification in crowded racks.

Supermicro Dell HPE Lenovo Asus

This cable suits administrators expanding U.2 capacity in compatible enterprise platforms. Builders needing longer runs or different connector orientations should look elsewhere. Buyers without MCIO 8i ports on their backplane cannot use this link.

Questions about this item

Will the MCIO connectors or shielding degrade and need replacement after extended server use?

The durable shielding structure is designed to reduce signal loss for long-term server operation, and the connectors are built for continuous PCIe 5.0 32Gbps data transmission without a specified replacement interval.

What bandwidth ceiling will I hit first when running sustained U.2 SSD workloads over this link?

The cable supports up to 32Gbps, so the PCIe 5.0 x8 interface limit is the first ceiling encountered during sustained high-speed data transfer.

How much heat or power does the cable itself add when it runs all day inside a server chassis?

As a passive copper assembly, it draws no power and generates negligible heat; the shielding minimises electromagnetic interference without adding thermal load to the chassis.
