MCIO 38-Pin to SFF-8654 Slimline Extender

This 50 cm cable connects a male MCIO 38-pin interface to a male SFF-8654 Slimline 4X port. It is built for server and networking equipment that uses these specific high-density connectors. The assembly supports SAS 3.0 and 4.0 protocols alongside PCIe Gen 3, 4 and 5 signalling. Installers needing a short, shielded link between a backplane and a controller card will find the 1.6 ft length practical.

Sustained 24 Gbps throughput with PAM4 signalling

The cable is rated for 24 Gbps data transfer using 56 GT/s PAM4 encoding, maintaining signal integrity under continuous load. Shielding is designed for high-speed data environments to reduce degradation during extended transfers. It handles SAS, PCIe and 25G Ethernet traffic without the signal loss that can appear on lesser assemblies over time. The construction targets stable performance in demanding data-centre conditions.

Verify MCIO and SFF-8654 port compatibility first

Confirm that your host device presents a male MCIO 38-pin connector and the target drive or backplane accepts a male SFF-8654 Slimline 4X plug. The 50 cm reach suits adjacent chassis bays but may not span full rack depths. Ensure your hardware negotiates SAS 3.0 or 4.0 and PCIe Gen 3, 4 or 5 to use the 24 Gbps capability. Buyers needing right-angle exits or longer runs should seek a different assembly.

Questions about this item

Does the 24 Gbps MCIO 38-pin to SFF-8654 cable generate noticeable heat during continuous server workloads?

The passive copper assembly carries 24 Gbps signals without active components, so it adds no measurable heat to the chassis during all-day operation.

Which host-side connector must my backplane or RAID card provide for the MCIO 38-pin male end to mate correctly?

The cable requires a PCIe 5.0 MCIO 38-pin female receptacle on the host side, matching the Mini Cool Edge IO 4i form factor.

Will this 50 cm extender work with my existing SAS 3.0 drives and backplane without signal degradation?

Yes, the cable supports SAS 3.0 and 4.0 standards, so it maintains full signal integrity with current SAS 3.0 equipment at 24 Gbps.
