Server-grade MCIO interconnect

The Vszerda MCIO to MCIO 8X cable links Mini Cool Edge IO interfaces in servers, storage systems and data centres. It carries PCIe Gen5 signals over a 0.5 m silver-plated AWG30 twinax assembly with 85-ohm impedance and full shielding. Both ends terminate in male 74-pin MCIO connectors compliant with SFF-TA-1016.

Suited for new PCIe Gen5 deployments

This cable suits builders wiring NVMe backplanes, HBAs or all-flash arrays that expose MCIO 8x ports and require 32 Gbps per lane. It is not for systems that lack MCIO connectors or that cannot negotiate PCIe Gen5 link speeds.

Deciding specification: per-lane data rate

The cable supports up to 32 Gbps per lane across eight lanes. If the target hardware tops out at a lower per-lane rate, the extra headroom will not be used; if it requires MCIO 8x and PCIe Gen5, this 0.5 m assembly matches the interface exactly.

Questions about this item

Which MCIO 8X cable length should I pick for a 0.5 m rack run?

The 0.5 m (1.64 ft) length matches a half-metre rack run and uses silver-plated AWG30 twinax with 85-ohm impedance for PCIe Gen5 links.

What does 32 Gbps per lane mean when the cable is installed in a server?

Each of the eight lanes can carry 32 Gbps, giving high bandwidth for NVMe backplanes and HBAs that support PCIe Gen5 speeds.

How does the SFF-TA-1016 74-pin interface limit the connection?

The 74-pin MCIO connectors follow SFF-TA-1016, capping the link to eight lanes at PCIe Gen5 rates with 85-ohm controlled impedance.
