Breakout cable for MCIO 8654 38P host port

This high-density breakout cable converts a single MCIO SFF-8654 4i 38-pin host connector into four SATA ports. It is designed for multi-drive server expansion in enterprise storage systems and high-density backplanes.

Verify host connector and drive requirements

Ensure your RAID controller or NAS device presents an MCIO SFF-8654 4i 38-pin interface before ordering. Confirm the target drives use standard SATA connectors and that the 31.49in length suits your rack routing plan.

Replaces shorter or lower-speed SAS breakout cables

Upgrade from cables limited to slower SAS generations or shorter reach when deploying PCIe 5.0 12Gbps storage arrays. The jump is worthwhile for large-scale data center deployments needing reliable high-bandwidth transmission.

Questions about this item

Does the cable include the four SATA drives or do I need to buy them separately?

The cable provides the four SATA connectors only; drives must be purchased separately.

My motherboard has an SFF-8654 4i 38-pin port — is this the correct breakout cable?

Yes, the cable matches an SFF-8654 4i 38-pin host port and splits it to four SATA ports.

What real-world throughput can I expect from the 12 Gbps rating once the cable is installed in a server?

The cable is built for PCIe 5.0 and supports up to 12 Gbps per lane, so each attached SATA drive can run at its full 6 Gbps speed without cable bottleneck.
