Flat grey cable with silver 74-pin connectors at both ends, 31.49 inches long

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Slimline SAS MCIO SFF8654 8i 74Pin PCIe 5.0 Cable 31.49 Inches

SKU CH-88KV-HDYQA

PCIe 5.0 MCIO cable with dual SFF8654 8i 74Pin connectors for ultrahighbandwidth NVMe and SAS server storage

  • PCIe 5.0 bandwidth powers next-gen NVMe SSDs and AI servers
  • SFF-8654 8i 74Pin MCIO connectors enable direct Slimline SAS extension
  • Precision-matched impedance reduces signal loss and crosstalk in dense server environments
  • Optimized internal wiring maintains stable long-distance signal integrity for enterprise workloads
  • 49-inch length allows neat short-range routing inside compact rackmount servers

Slimline SAS MCIO Cable for PCIe 5.0 Systems

This SMUGDESK cable provides a direct extension between two SFF8654 8i 74Pin MCIO connectors. It is built to PCIe 5.0 specifications for ultrahighbandwidth transmission inside servers and workstations. The 31.49inch length supports neat shortrange routing in compact chassis.

Suited for NVMe Storage Controllers

Builders connecting NVMe storage controllers or highdensity enterprise storage arrays will match the required pinout and bandwidth. Those needing longer runs for fullrack cabling or different connector types such as legacy Mini SAS HD should look at other cable assemblies.

PCIe 5.0 Compliant MCIOtoMCIO Extension

The cable meets PCIe 5.0 electrical requirements with precisionmatched impedance to minimise signal loss and crosstalk. Dual SFF8654 8i 74Pin ends enable a straightthrough link for nextgen NVMe SSDs and highperformance storage systems.

Questions about this item

What controller or backplane with an SFF-8654 8i 74-pin port do I need to plug this cable into?

You need a PCIe 5.0-compatible NVMe controller, HBA or backplane that presents an SFF-8654 8i 74-pin MCIO receptacle.

Will this 31.49-inch cable work with a PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive on an older backplane?

Yes, the cable is backward-compatible; it will carry PCIe 4.0 signals through the same SFF-8654 connectors without modification.

How can I verify the link is running at PCIe 5.0 speeds after installation?

Check the OS or BIOS link-speed report — it should show 5.0 GT/s per lane across the 8-lane SFF-8654 connection.
