Connection purpose

The Vszerda OCuLink cable links a controller with an SFF-8611 port to a backplane using an SFF-8087 36-pin connector. It is built for PCIe data paths and does not support SAS signalling. The 50 cm length suits compact server or workstation chassis.

Build integration

The male-to-male assembly requires a free OCuLink interface on the host side and a matching SFF-8087 receptacle on the target device. An active latch on the SFF-8611 end secures the connection against vibration. No additional power or driver installation is needed for the link itself.

Signal performance

Rated at 12 Gbps, the shielded cord maintains signal integrity for high-speed storage traffic. The slimline construction reduces airflow obstruction in dense drive cages. Power draw is limited to the controller and backplane; the cable adds no active circuitry.

Questions about this item

Will the 12Gbps link hold steady on a 50cm run under sustained load?

The cable is rated for 12Gbps and its 50cm length keeps signal loss low enough for continuous PCIe traffic.

Does the active latch or shielding add audible noise or heat during all-day operation?

No active electronics are present, so the cable produces no noise and negligible heat.

Which controller port must my system already have for this SFF-8611 to SFF-8087 link to work?

A free OCuLink SFF-8611 4i port is required on the controller side.
