OCuLink SFF-8611 8x to dual SFF-8639 U.2 active cable 100 cm

Vszerda

Vszerda OCuLink SFF-8611 8x to Dual SFF-8639 U.2 4x Active Cable 100 cm

SKU CH-RH21-ZTX5Y

An active OCuLink SFF-8611 8x cable splits to dual SFF-8639 U.2 4x connectors for SSD data at up to 16Gbps over 100 cm

Cable Length 100 cm

  • Connects OCuLink 8x host to two U.2 drives
  • Active cable supports 16 Gbps data rate
  • 80-pin SFF-8611 to dual SFF-8639 male connectors
  • 100 cm length fits full-tower chassis routing
  • Active latch locks securely to mating ports

Connectivity for U.2 storage

This active cable links an OCuLink SFF-8611 8x host port to two SFF-8639 U.2 drive connectors. It supports data rates up to 16 Gbps across eight lanes. The 100 cm length suits full-height chassis and backplane installations. A locking latch secures each connection against vibration.

Suits multi-drive U.2 arrays

Builders attaching dual U.2 SSDs to a single OCuLink 8x controller will find the split layout convenient. Systems lacking an SFF-8611 8x interface cannot use this cable. Buyers needing more than two drive connections should consider alternative cabling.

Handles dual-drive PCIe bandwidth

The eight-lane path delivers up to 16 Gbps shared between both U.2 ports. Each drive sees up to four lanes when both are populated. Workloads exceeding the aggregate 16 Gbps limit will saturate the link.

Questions about this item

What controller interface is required for the SFF-8611 8x connector?

A controller with an OCuLink SFF-8611 8x 80-pin male interface is required.

Can this cable connect a U.2 backplane to an older SATA host adapter?

No, the SFF-8611 8x connector is not compatible with standard SATA or eSATA host ports.

How do I confirm the active cable is passing data at up to 16Gbps after installation?

Verify the active latch is engaged on both SFF-8639 U.2 ends and check that the connected drives appear at full link speed in the controller utility.
