50cm active cable with SFF8611 and SFF8087 latching connectors

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Oculink SFF8611 4i to SFF8087 36Pin Active Cable 50cm

SKU CH-EXH1-07S59

Active OCuLink SFF8611 4i to SFF8087 36-pin cable preserves PCIe Gen3 and Gen4 signal integrity over 50 cm with locking latches and heavy shielding for server storage backplanes

  • Active signal conditioning preserves PCIe Gen3/Gen4 integrity across 50cm run
  • Latching SFF8611 4i and SFF8087 36pin connectors resist vibration in 24/7 servers
  • Multilayer shielding suppresses crosstalk for stable highspeed transmission
  • Braided sleeve protects cable and eases routing in cramped chassis
  • Purposebuilt for OCuLink host to Slimline SSD backplane interconnection

Server Storage Link

This active cable connects an OCuLink SFF8611 4i host controller to an SFF8087 36pin PCIe backplane or Slimline SSD. It is built for internal server storage interconnection where PCIExpress signal integrity must be preserved across the chassis. The 50cm length is optimized for typical rackmount routing distances.

Installation Notes

Latching connectors on both ends lock positively into mating ports, resisting vibration and thermal cycling in 24/7 server operation. The active signal conditioning avoids attenuation that affects longer passive copper runs. Verify the target backplane uses PCIExpress signalling only; this cable will not work with SASbased SFF8087 RAID controllers or SAS drives.

Best Fit

Suits administrators linking OCuLinkequipped controllers to PCIeonly backplanes or Slimline SSD hardware in rackmount servers. Not for buyers who need SAS protocol support, those requiring longer cable runs beyond the optimized length, or builders connecting to nonPCIe SFF8087 interfaces.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the active OCuLink SFF8611 4i to SFF8087 cable is functioning correctly after installation?

The system should detect the Slimline SSD or PCIe backplane at full PCIe Gen3 or Gen4 speed without link errors, and the latching connectors must click firmly into both ports to confirm a secure, vibration-resistant connection.

What comes in the box with the SMUGDESK active cable and what extra items are required?

The package contains the 50cm active OCuLink SFF8611 4i to SFF8087 36pin cable only; you must separately provide an OCuLink-equipped host controller and a PCIe-only SFF8087 backplane or Slimline SSD that both use PCIExpress signalling.

Which version of this cable should I choose for my server build?

Select this 50cm active OCuLink SFF8611 4i to SFF8087 36pin model when linking an OCuLink host to a PCIe-only SFF8087 backplane or Slimline SSD inside a rackmount chassis; it is not compatible with SAS-based SFF8087 RAID controllers or SAS drives.
