Slimline SAS MCIO cable with SFF8654 8i 74Pin connectors, 19.68 inches long

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Slimline SAS MCIO SFF8654 8i 74Pin PCIe 5.0 to MCIO SFF8654 Cable 19.68 Inches

SKU CH-MAB5-KR8ZG

PCIe 5.0 Slimline SAS MCIO SFF8654 8i 74pin cable links NVMe SSDs, SAS or SATA drives and RAID controllers with low-loss copper and heavy shielding in a 19.68 inch length for dense server chassis

  • PCIe 5.0 compliant for next-gen NVMe SSD bandwidth
  • Direct SFF-8654 8i 74-pin to SFF-8654 server connectivity
  • Low-loss copper wire minimizes signal attenuation for enterprise reliability
  • Heavy-duty shielding reduces crosstalk and EMI for consistent performance
  • Compact 19.68-inch length enables tidy routing in high-density racks

Direct PCIe 5.0 MCIO Link

This SMUGDESK cable connects two SFF8654 8i 74pin ports using PCIe 5.0 signalling for internal server storage. It targets administrators who need a short, shielded run between a RAID controller or backplane and NVMe SSDs. The direct pinout avoids adapters, reducing insertion loss in dense chassis.

Fits Tight Rack Routing

At 19.68 inches the harness stays inside 1U or 2U trays without looping, freeing airflow space around drive cages and power supplies. Heavy-duty shielding cuts crosstalk so adjacent cables do not degrade throughput. Low-loss copper keeps the signal clean from controller to backplane across the full link.

Built for Enterprise NVMe Arrays

Suits teams deploying high-density NVMe or SAS/SATA storage in rackmount servers and compact workstations. Not for builders who need longer runs to reach distant enclosures or external JBODs. Buyers requiring right-angle connectors or breakout fanout should look at other cable families.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth limit does the PCIe 5.0 interface impose on sustained NVMe transfers?

The cable is built to PCIe 5.0 specifications, so sustained throughput follows the 5.0 lane rate without added bottleneck.

Does the 19.68 inch length and shielding keep heat and signal noise low in a fully loaded rack?

Heavy‑duty shielding and low‑loss copper reduce crosstalk and EMI, while the short run limits resistance heating during all‑day operation.

Which controller or backplane must already have an SFF‑8654 8i 74‑pin port for this cable to connect?

Both ends use SFF‑8654 8i 74‑pin connectors, so the host controller and the target backplane each need that exact port.
