Connection Purpose
This Vszerda NF-SF-071 cable links a controller with an OCuLink SFF-8611 4i port to a backplane using an SFF-8087 36-pin PCIe connector. It is built for internal PCIe data paths and does not support SAS signalling. The active latch on the SFF-8611 end secures the connection inside the chassis.
Suitable Builds
Builders joining an OCuLink host adapter to an SFF-8087 PCIe backplane will find the 50 cm length practical for typical server or workstation layouts. Anyone needing a SAS cable, an external connection, or a longer reach should look elsewhere because this assembly is PCIe-only and fixed at the stated length.
Throughput and Limits
Rated at 12 Gbps, the link handles modern PCIe SSD traffic across the 36 active conductors without bottleneck for most enterprise drives. The half-metre span keeps signal integrity tight but offers no slack for widely separated components or full-rack routing.

Questions about this item
What controller interface must my system have free to use the SFF-8611 end of this cable?
Your system needs an available OCuLink SFF-8611 port on the controller or motherboard to plug the active-latch connector into.
Can I connect this cable to a legacy SAS backplane that uses an SFF-8087 port?
No, the cable is designed only for PCI-E signalling; it will not function with SAS protocols even though the 36-pin SFF-8087 connector fits physically.
How can I verify the link is running at the rated 12Gbps after installation?
Check the controller BIOS or OS device manager for a negotiated PCIe Gen3 x4 link, which corresponds to the 12Gbps specification.
