InLine® MCIO-kabel, MCIO x8 naar 2x MiniSAS-HD SFF-8643, 1 m

Internal data cable for high-speed server and storage connectivity, featuring an MCIO x8 host connector and dual MiniSAS-HD SFF-8643 device connectors. This 1-meter copper cable supports SAS, NVMe, and PCIe protocols, delivering up to 22.5 Gbps per lane (SAS 4.0) or 32 GT/s per lane (PCIe Gen5) across 8 lanes. With 100-ohm impedance and RoHS compliance, it ensures reliable signal integrity in dense IT environments.

Advantages

Combines an MCIO x8 connector with two MiniSAS-HD SFF-8643 connectors, enabling a single host port to connect to two drives or backplanes. Supports next-generation SAS and PCIe speeds, future-proofing your storage infrastructure. The 1-meter length provides flexibility in server chassis and rack installations. Robust copper construction and 100-ohm impedance maintain signal quality over the full length.
