MCIO 4i to Mini SAS HD cable

This 80cm cable connects a server motherboard's MCIO 4i port to a backplane's Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 port. It supports SAS and SATA hard drives and SSDs at 12Gbps SAS-3 speeds with PCIe 3.0 compatibility. The male-to-male design is built for internal server storage upgrades and capacity expansion. It is not for systems lacking an MCIO 4i host interface or a SFF-8643 backplane connector.

Thermals noise and power draw

The fully shielded, twisted-pair construction minimizes electromagnetic interference for stable signal transmission. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation to maintain connectivity over thousands of insertions. As a passive cable, it adds no active heat or noise to the chassis and draws no auxiliary power. The 80cm length allows organized routing that preserves airflow in 1U and 2U rack configurations.

12Gbps SAS-3 transfer speed

The cable delivers 12Gbps SAS-3 bandwidth and PCIe 3.0 compatibility to ensure drives operate at peak efficiency. This specification determines whether your SAS or SATA storage devices can achieve their rated throughput without bottleneck. Verify that both your host controller and backplane support these speeds before purchasing. No drivers are required for operation.

Questions about this item

How do I install the MCIO 4i end into the motherboard slot and what step is often missed?

Align the male MCIO 4i connector with the motherboard Mini Card Edge IO slot, press straight in until the latch clicks, and verify the latch is fully seated to prevent signal loss.

What maintenance will the gold-plated contacts on both connectors need over time?

The gold-plated contacts resist oxidation and are rated for thousands of insertions, so no routine cleaning or replacement is required under normal server use.

At what point does the 12Gbps SAS-3 link hit its bandwidth ceiling during sustained heavy I/O?

The cable supports SAS-3 at 12Gbps and PCIe 3.0; the practical limit is the 12Gbps per lane signalling rate of the SAS-3 protocol itself.
