Connection Overview

This Vszerda cable links an OCuLink SFF-8611 8x controller to two SFF-8643 4x backplane ports. It carries a PCIe signal at up to 16 gigabits per second over a .5 metre copper run. An active latch on each end secures the connection inside a server or workstation chassis.

Ideal Use Cases

Builders adding dense SSD storage to a host bus adapter or RAID card with a single 80-pin OCuLink port will find this cable fits. Systems that lack a free OCuLink 8x 80-pin interface cannot use it. Buyers who need a passive link or a different pin-out should look at other options.

Build Integration

The male-to-male design plugs directly into the controller and backplane without extra brackets. Its 50 cm length suits typical 2U or 4U server layouts while keeping cable routing tidy. The active circuitry maintains signal integrity across the split, freeing the second backplane port for additional drives.

Questions about this item

What controller interface do I need to plug the SFF-8611 8x end into?

A free OCuLink 8x 80pin interface is required to accept the SFF-8611 8x male connector.

Will this cable work with my existing SFF-8643 4x backplane?

Yes, the dual SFF-8643 4x 36pin male connectors mate directly with a backplane that has SFF-8643 ports.

How can I confirm the active latch is engaged after installation?

The active latch clicks audibly and resists a gentle pull when fully seated on both the SFF-8611 and each SFF-8643 connector.
