Connectivity for EDSFF SSDs

The LetLinkSo LLS-CB-1MC1ED-02 cable links one MCIO x8 host connector to two EDSFF drive connectors with an integrated 15-pin power feed. It is built for servers and storage arrays that use E1.S, E1.L, E3.S or E3.L solid-state drives and need a 65 cm reach inside the chassis.

PCIe 5.0 bandwidth upgrade

This assembly replaces older Gen 4 or Gen 3 MCIO cables by delivering 32 GT/s per lane across eight lanes. The jump is worthwhile when the platform and the SSDs both support PCIe 5.0 and the workload demands the higher throughput without signal degradation.

Suits dual-drive EDSFF bays

The Y-split design suits builders populating a pair of EDSFF slots from a single MCIO port while supplying drive power through the same cable. It is not for single-drive connections, M.2 or U.2 interfaces, or systems that lack an MCIO x8 header.

Questions about this item

What is the connector layout of the LetLinkSo LLS-CB-1MC1ED-02 cable?

The cable has one MCIO x8 male connector that splits into two EDSFF male connectors, totalling three connectors.

How do you install the cable without damaging the latch?

Align the MCIO x8 plug with the motherboard slot and press straight in until the latch clicks; forcing it at an angle bends the fragile retention tab.

When should the 65 cm copper cable be replaced?

Replace it if the 32 GT/s link drops to a lower speed, if intermittent drive disconnects appear, or if the 15-pin power contacts show oxidation.
