Vszerda OCuLink SFF-8611 8x to Dual SFF-8087 4x Active Cable 100 cm

SKU CH-MYS2-349E3

Connects an OCuLink SFF-8611 8x controller to two SFF-8087 4x backplanes with active latch, 100 cm length, up to 16 Gbps

Cable Length 100 cm

  • Connects 8-lane OCuLink controller to dual SFF-8087 backplanes
  • Active cable supports 16 Gbps data transfer rate
  • 100 cm length suits full-tower chassis layouts
  • 80-pin SFF-8611 male to dual 36-pin SFF-8087 male
  • Active latch secures connection against vibration

Interface Mapping

This Vszerda cable converts an OCuLink SFF-8611 8x 80-pin male connector into two SFF-8087 4x 36-pin male ports. It provides a 100 cm active link rated for up to 16 Gbps data transfer. The assembly uses an active latch on the OCuLink side for secure mating. It is built for internal device connections such as a backplane to a controller.

Builder Fit

Suits system integrators linking a host controller or backplane to dual drive cages using SFF-8087 interfaces. The 100 cm length offers routing flexibility in larger chassis or rackmount builds. It is not for external connections or direct drive attachment without a compatible backplane. Buyers needing a passive cable or a different lane split should look elsewhere.

Deciding Spec

The cable requires a host-side OCuLink SFF-8611 8x 80-pin interface to function. Without that specific port the link will not establish. Verify the controller or motherboard provides this exact connector before purchasing. The dual SFF-8087 4x endpoints then connect to the target backplane or enclosure.

Highlights

  • Connects 8-lane OCuLink controller to dual SFF-8087 backplanes

  • 100 cm length suits full-tower chassis layouts
  • 80-pin SFF-8611 male to dual 36-pin SFF-8087 male
  • Active latch secures connection against vibration

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 16 Gbps link is active after connecting the SFF-8611 to the controller and the dual SFF-8087 to the backplane?

The active latch on each connector clicks securely when seated. Confirm the link in the controller BIOS or OS device manager; the negotiated speed should show 16 Gbps per lane for the 8-lane OCuLink connection.

The cable has an SFF-8611 80-pin plug and two SFF-8087 36-pin plugs — are any additional adapters or power leads required?

No extra adapters or power cables are needed. The assembly carries both signal and side-band power through the 80-pin and 36-pin connectors, so the single 100 cm cable completes the connection between controller and backplane.

Should I choose the 50 cm or 100 cm length for a typical server chassis?

Select the 100 cm version when the OCuLink controller and the SFF-8087 backplane are separated by more than half a metre — for example in a full-depth 4U chassis — otherwise the 50 cm variant reduces cable clutter.
