Connector Interface and Speed

The Vszerda Oculink cable provides an 8x link between an SFF-8611 port and an SFF-8654 port with a data rate of 16Gbps. It uses male-to-male connectors with an active latch for secure mating. The 50cm length suits internal chassis routing between a backplane and a controller.

Builders With Matching Ports Only

This cable suits installers who have a free OCuLink 8x 80pin interface on both ends, whether connecting a backplane with SFF-8654 to a controller with SFF-8611 or the reverse. It will not work for anyone whose equipment uses a different pin count, a different connector family, or an external bulkhead instead of internal headers.

Sustained Signal Integrity

The active design maintains the 16Gbps signal across the full 50cm run under continuous load, avoiding the degradation seen in passive assemblies at this speed. The locking latch prevents intermittent disconnects caused by vibration or thermal cycling during prolonged operation.

Questions about this item

What host interface must my system provide for this SFF-8611 to SFF-8654 active cable to function?

Your system needs a free OCuLink 8x 80-pin interface to plug the SFF-8611 end into the host controller or backplane.

Will this 16 Gbps cable work with an older 8 Gbps SAS backplane I plan to keep?

Yes, the active cable will negotiate down to the backplane's speed while the SFF-8654 and SFF-8611 connectors remain physically compatible.

How can I verify the link is running at the full 16 Gbps after installation?

Check the controller firmware or OS utility for a reported link speed of 16 Gbps and confirm zero CRC errors on the port counters.
