Supermicro kabel CBL-MCIO-1221M5 MCIO x8 STR naar - kabel

Internal MCIO x8 straight-to-straight cable engineered for high-density server and storage environments, delivering PCIe Gen5-ready performance up to 32 GT/s per lane over a 5-meter reach. Its dual MCIO x8 connectors with straight orientation ensure a secure, low-profile fit in Supermicro systems, while full shielding and 100-ohm impedance maintain signal integrity under heavy I/O loads.

Advantages

This cable provides a dependable, high-bandwidth link for next-generation NVMe and GPU configurations. The straight connector design minimizes strain on motherboard ports and simplifies cable routing in tight chassis. Copper conductors and PVC jacket balance flexibility with durability, and RoHS compliance supports environmentally responsible deployments.
