74-Pin MCIO to SFF-8654 Link

This 50 cm cable connects a 74-pin MCIO host interface to an SFF-8654 8i receptacle, carrying SAS 4.0 traffic at 24 Gbps. It is built for server and workstation builders who need a short, shielded run between a motherboard or controller and a backplane or drive enclosure. The male-to-female gender allows direct extension without adapters.

Upgrade from SAS 3.0 Cabling

The link supports SAS 3.0 and 4.0, so it replaces older 12 Gbps cables when the controller and drives move to 24 Gbps signalling. The jump is worth it when the storage stack saturates the previous generation and the platform supports PCIe 5.0 or 56 GT/s PAM4 electricals. It does not help if the endpoints remain at 12 Gbps.

Headroom for 24 Gbps SAS Workloads

The 24 Gbps rating provides headroom for multiple dual-port SSDs or high-queue-depth arrays on a single 8i connection. It runs out when aggregate throughput exceeds the electrical budget of the 74-pin interface or when cable routing exceeds the half-metre length. Longer runs or higher lane counts require a different assembly.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the 74-pin MCIO connector need on the board edge?

The MCIO 74Pin connector uses a Mini Cool Edge IO form factor that plugs directly into a board-edge slot; allow enough depth for the 50 cm cable bend radius behind the connector.

Which end plugs in first to avoid pin damage on the SFF-8654 8i side?

Insert the SFF-8654 74 Pin end squarely into the device port before seating the MCIO 74Pin end; the male-to-female terminals key one way only.

When should the shock-resistant shielding be inspected for wear?

Check the cable jacket and connector latch after any chassis move or vibration event; replace if the shielding shows cracks or the latch no longer clicks.
