Black 35cm PCIe 5.0 MCIO x8 to MCIO 8i cable with straight-to-side bend

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK PCIe 5.0 MCIO x8 to MCIO 8i Cable 35cm 32Gbps Black Straight-to-Side

SKU CH-GFAA-E8042

Connects MCIO x8 to MCIO 8i for 32Gbps NVMe U.2 storage with a straight-to-side bend for tight server chassis

  • PCIe 5.0 compliance enables 32 Gbps throughput for U.2 NVMe drives
  • Straight-to-side bend design simplifies cable routing in tight server chassis
  • 35 cm length keeps internal wiring tidy in rackmount systems
  • Shielded construction reduces signal loss for stable enterprise storage links
  • MCIO x8 to MCIO 8i connectivity supports high-density NVMe deployments

Enterprise NVMe Cable

This PCIe 5.0 MCIO extension cable connects MCIO x8 to MCIO 8i interfaces for high-speed U.2 NVMe storage in servers. It delivers up to 32Gbps bandwidth for fast data transfer in enterprise environments. The 35cm compact length suits rackmount systems and high-density storage deployments.

32Gbps Bandwidth Limit

The cable operates at the PCIe 5.0 standard with a maximum throughput of 32Gbps across the x8 link. Signal integrity depends on the 35cm shielded construction to minimise loss at this speed. Builders needing longer runs or higher lane counts must consider the electrical constraints of this specification.

Straight-to-Side Upgrade

The angled connector design replaces straight cables where chassis depth or backplane density prevents clean routing. It upgrades installations limited by tight-space cable management in rackmount servers. The jump is worth it when standard straight connectors obstruct airflow or adjacent slots in dense configurations.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 35 cm length or a longer cable for my server build?

The 35 cm length keeps internal wiring tidy in rackmount servers and high-density storage systems; choose a longer cable only if the routing path between your MCIO x8 and MCIO 8i ports exceeds this distance.

What does the 32 Gbps rating mean for my U.2 NVMe drives in daily use?

It provides the full PCIe 5.0 x8 bandwidth so each connected U.2 NVMe drive can reach its maximum sequential read and write speeds without the cable becoming a bottleneck.

Is the MCIO 8i connector compatible with standard SAS backplanes?

The MCIO 8i end is designed for MCIO 8i ports on enterprise server boards and backplanes; it is not a standard SAS connector and will not mate with legacy SAS receptacles.
