Vszerda MCIO 4X 38Pin SFF-TA-1016 to U.2 SFF-8639 SATA cable 0.5m

MCIO 4X 38Pin SFF-TA-1016 Cable

This Vszerda cable connects an MCIO 4X 38Pin SFF-TA-1016 host port to a U.2 SFF-8639 device using a .5 metre copper link. It transmits PCI Express signals over a 4x lane protocol and includes a SATA power connector. The assembly is rated for 32 gigabits per second and features shock-resistant construction. The adapter card is not included.

Suits builders adding U.2 storage to an MCIO slot

This cable suits system integrators who need to attach a U.2 SFF-8639 drive to a mainboard MCIO 4X interface, such as those used with Intel SSD 750 M.2 configurations. It is not for users requiring a direct SATA or eSATA drive connection without the MCIO host interface. Buyers needing longer reach or a bundled adapter card should look elsewhere.

Handles PCIe 5.0 X4 bandwidth with .5 metre reach

The link comfortably handles PCIe 5.0, 4.0 and 3.0 X4 signalling at the rated 32 gigabits per second across its 50 centimetre length. It runs out when the host lacks an MCIO 4X SFF-TA-1016 port or when the target device uses a connector other than U.2 SFF-8639. The fixed .5 metre length limits placement flexibility in larger enclosures.
