MCIO 74-pin to SFF-8654 extender cable

This 50 cm internal cable bridges a PCIe 5.0 MCIO 74-pin male connector to an SFF-8654 SAS 4.0 74-pin male connector. It targets builders who need to route high-speed storage signals between a motherboard or controller and a backplane or drive cage. The black finish suits tidy server or workstation builds.

Sustained 24 Gbps throughput

The assembly is rated for up to 24 Gbps per lane, matching the SAS 4.0 specification for continuous operation. MCIO construction maintains signal integrity over the full length without active components, so throughput stays stable during long sequential transfers or heavy multi-drive workloads. No external power is required for the cable itself.

Replaces shorter or fixed MCIO links

Use this extender when the stock MCIO cable cannot reach the target backplane or when a right-angle connector blocks adjacent slots. The jump is worth it only if your chassis layout demands the extra 50 cm of reach and both ends use the 74-pin pinout defined for MCIO and SFF-8654. Builders whose devices already connect directly gain no benefit.

Questions about this item

Does the 24 Gbps cable generate noticeable heat or draw extra power when running continuously?

The cable is a passive assembly and does not consume measurable power or produce heat during sustained 24 Gbps operation.

What connectors must my motherboard or backplane already provide for the MCIO 74Pin male and SFF-8654 74Pin male ends to plug in?

You need a free MCIO 74Pin female port on the host side and an SFF-8654 74Pin female port on the drive or backplane side.

Will the SAS 4.0 74Pin male connector work with my older SAS 3.0 backplane without speed negotiation issues?

The SFF-8654 interface is backward compatible, so the cable will link at the highest speed both ends support.
