Vszerda MCIO 4x 38pin SFF-TA-1016 extender cable 0.5m

Server-grade MCIO extender for dense builds

This Vszerda MCIO 4x 38pin SFF-TA-1016 extender cable adds .5 metres of reach between a motherboard or backplane and a storage controller or drive cage. The male-to-female copper assembly carries SAS 3.0 or 4.0 and PCIe Gen 5 signals at up to 54 gigabits per second. It targets integrators who need reliable high-speed links inside 1U or 2U chassis where stock cables fall short.

Replaces short fixed-length MCIO looms

Factory cables often stop at .3 metres, forcing awkward routing or riser cards that add latency and failure points. This extender removes that constraint without changing the protocol stack, so the jump is worth it whenever the signal path must cross a mid-plane, a GPU bracket or a custom drive tray. Builders who can keep the run under .3 metres with the original loom gain nothing from the extra length.

Fits standard SFF-TA-1016 headers

The 38-pin connector mates directly with any compliant board or card edge, requiring no adapter or active retimer. Its slim profile and shock-resistant jacket let it thread through tight cable channels alongside power leads, clearing room for airflow. Installers who need a right-angle exit or a second independent channel must source a different cable, as this assembly provides a single straight-through link only.
