SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK PCIe 5.0 MCIO x8 to MCIO 8i Extension Cable 25cm 32Gbps

SKU CH-8QG4-YGY5T

PCIe 5.0 MCIO x8 to MCIO 8i extension cable delivers 32Gbps bandwidth for U.2 NVMe and SAS SSD server connections in a compact 25cm length

  • PCIe 5.0 compliance enables 32Gbps bandwidth for enterprise NVMe and SAS storage
  • Straight-to-straight MCIO x8 to MCIO 8i connectors simplify U.2 SSD server cabling
  • 25cm compact length fits tight chassis spaces between backplanes and controllers
  • Black shielded harness reduces signal loss and EMI for stable long-term operation
  • Purpose-built for low-latency high-performance data center storage deployments

PCIe 5.0 MCIO Extension Cable

This 25cm cable provides a direct PCIe 5.0 MCIO x8 to MCIO 8i link for U.2 NVMe and SAS SSD connections in servers. It delivers 32Gbps bandwidth for high-performance enterprise storage and data centre deployments. The straight-to-straight design supports neat routing inside compact chassis. Black shielded wiring minimises signal loss and electromagnetic interference.

Verify Connector Types and Clearance

Confirm your controller and backplane use MCIO x8 and MCIO 8i ports before ordering. Ensure the 25cm length matches the internal distance between devices in your specific chassis layout. Check that straight connectors suit the port orientation and available space around adjacent components. The shielded harness requires sufficient bend radius for reliable signal integrity.

Integrates U.2 Drives into Dense Servers

The cable connects U.2 NVMe or SAS drives directly to a RAID controller or backplane without adapters. Its short length frees up space in tight 1U or 2U enclosures where longer cables would obstruct airflow. Shielded construction maintains stable 32Gbps throughput for latency-sensitive workloads. It enables high-density storage configurations in enterprise environments.

Questions about this item

What connectors does the SMUGDESK cable use and do I need any adapters?

The cable has straight-to-straight MCIO x8 to MCIO 8i connectors for direct U.2 NVMe/SAS SSD server links; no separate adapters are required for compatible ports.

Should I choose a different length or speed rating for my server chassis?

This model is fixed at 25cm and 32Gbps bandwidth; select it only when the backplane-to-controller distance fits that length and the controller supports the stated rate.

What does the 32Gbps figure mean for actual U.2 drive throughput?

The 32Gbps per-lane bandwidth matches PCIe 5.0 x8 capability, enabling full low-latency NVMe/SAS SSD performance when the controller and drive also support that generation.
