MCIO 74-pin to dual U.2 68-pin cable with power, 80 cm

Vszerda

Vszerda MCIO x8 to 2*U.2 NVMe Adapter 74Pin to 2*68Pin 80CM

SKU CH-B6F9-K0NR2

Splits one 74-pin MCIO x8 link into two 68-pin U.2 NVMe ports with PCIe 4.0 speed and power over 80 cm

  • Expands PCIe x8 into two U.2 NVMe slots for added storage interfaces
  • SFF-TA-1016 74Pin to 2*SFF-8639 68Pin standard ensures broad device compatibility
  • PCIe 4.0 Mini Cooledge IO cable with power provides stable data transfer and reliable power delivery
  • High-speed PCIe Gen4.0 interface supports faster data rates for demanding storage workloads
  • Compact 80CM cable design fits confined server or workstation spaces

PCIe 4.0 x8 to dual U.2 adapter

This Vszerda adapter converts a PCIe 4.0 x8 Mini Cool Edge IO connector into two U.2 NVMe ports using an 80 cm cable with integrated power. The 74-pin MCIO plug follows the SFF-TA-1016 specification and splits to two 68-pin SFF-8639 receptacles for direct drive attachment.

Suits servers adding NVMe bays

Builders expanding storage in space-constrained servers or workstations gain two U.2 slots from a single x8 lane without occupying full-height PCIe slots. Systems lacking a free MCIO x8 header or those requiring M.2 or E1.S form factors will need a different adapter.

Verify MCIO x8 header and cable reach

Confirm the host board exposes a PCIe 4.0 Mini Cool Edge IO x8 connector wired to enough lanes for two NVMe drives. Measure the 80 cm cable path from that header to the drive bays to ensure routing clearance in the chassis.

Questions about this item

What PCIe slot width does my motherboard need for the 74Pin MCIO connector?

The adapter plugs into a PCIe x8 MCIO slot that follows the SFF‑TA‑1016 74Pin pinout, so the board must expose that exact connector.

Can I keep my existing U.2 drives that use the SFF‑8639 68Pin interface?

Yes, each of the two breakout ends is a standard SFF‑8639 68Pin U.2 port, so drives built to that spec will connect directly.

How do I verify the link is running at PCIe 4.0 speeds after installation?

Check the operating system or BIOS device list — each NVMe drive should report a PCIe 4.0 x4 link width and transfer rate.
