Server Storage Link

This Vszerda cable connects an MCIO 8X SFF-TA-1016 host or RAID controller to eight SATA drives using a single 1 metre assembly. It is built for server storage backplanes and JBOD expansion where dense connectivity is required.

Dense Server Builds

The 74-pin MCIO connector aggregates eight lanes into one compact interface, suiting administrators who need high port counts in confined chassis. Installers working with standard SATA host ports or external eSATA brackets cannot use this cable.

3 Gb/s Channel Speed

Each lane operates at 3 gigabits per second over silver-plated AWG31 twinax with a 100-ohm differential impedance. Drives or controllers that require faster signalling will not achieve their rated throughput through this link.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the MCIO 8X SFF-TA-1016 74-pin connector need to seat properly?

The compact MCIO 8X SFF-TA-1016 74-pin plug is designed for confined server or workstation bays, so it fits in the tight spaces typical of backplane and JBOD expansion chassis.

Which orientation should the 8x SATA 7-pin plugs face when routing the 1 m silver-plated AWG31 twinax cable?

Each of the eight SATA 7-pin connectors is male-to-female; align the L-shaped key on every plug with the corresponding port on the drive or backplane before pressing straight in.

How often should the silver-plated AWG31 twinax conductors be inspected for signal degradation at 3.0 Gb/s?

Silver-plated AWG31 twinax resists oxidation, so no periodic conductor inspection is required; only reseat the 74-pin MCIO and eight SATA 7-pin ends if a drive drops from the RAID array.
