Vszerda PCIe 5.0 MCIO x8 74Pin to Slim SAS SFF-8654 8i Cable 1.6ft (50cm)

SKU CH-29VS-7X53G

Connects MCIO 74-pin to Slim SAS SFF-8654 8i at PCIe 5.0 32 GT/s with steel latch, 1.6 ft length

  • PCIe 5.0 delivers 32 GT/s across 8 lanes
  • 74-pin MCIO x8 to SFF-8654 8i connects server backplanes
  • Steel latch on MCIO connector prevents accidental disconnect
  • Pull-tab design allows quick cable removal
  • 6 ft length fits compact server chassis

Server-grade cable for PCIe 5.0 backplanes

This Vszerda cable bridges an MCIO x8 74-pin host port to a Slim SAS SFF-8654 8i device connector. It is built for servers and storage arrays that need PCIe 5.0 32 GT/s bandwidth across eight lanes. The 1.6 ft (50 cm) length suits typical backplane-to-controller routing inside 2U or 4U chassis. A steel latch on the MCIO side locks the connection against vibration in dense racks.

Suits PCIe 5.0 storage links.

The assembly targets administrators wiring U.2, U.3 or E3.S drives to a modern tri-mode or PCIe 5.0 HBA. It does not serve builds that rely on legacy Mini SAS HD ports or standard 7-pin SATA device connectors. The straight MCIO plug also cannot mate with right-angle MCIO headers found on some OEM boards.

32 GT/s over eight lanes decides fit

The cable is qualified for the PCIe 5.0 32 GT/s signalling rate across its eight differential pairs. If the host controller or backplane tops out at PCIe 4.0 16 GT/s the link will negotiate down, but the part is specified for the higher rate. Confirm the endpoint devices and controller both list PCIe 5.0 x8 support before ordering.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1.6 ft (50 cm) length for my server backplane?

The 1.6 ft (50 cm) length fits typical server backplane distances and keeps the PCIe 5.0 signal path short for reliable 32 GT/s performance.

What does the 32 GT/s rate mean once the cable is installed?

It delivers PCIe 5.0 bandwidth across eight lanes, so attached drives or controllers can sustain the full 32 GT/s transfer speed without cable-induced bottlenecks.

How does the MCIO 74-pin to SFF-8654 8i interface cap real-world throughput?

The eight-lane MCIO 74-pin to SFF-8654 8i link is rated for PCIe 5.0 32 GT/s, so the interface itself does not limit throughput below that standard.
