50 cm MCIO 74-pin extender for SSDs
This 50 cm cable connects two SFF-8654 74-pin male MCIO ports, extending reach inside servers or workstations. It is built for SSDs and other devices that use the Mini Cool Edge IO interface and supports data rates up to 24 Gbps. The black male-to-male assembly is ready to use without tools.
Suits builders linking MCIO drives to backplanes
It fits administrators who need a short, high-speed link between compatible SAS 3.0 or 4.0 devices and a motherboard or controller equipped with MCIO 74-pin headers. Users requiring a different connector pitch, a longer run, or a female termination should look at other cable types.
Check your ports and protocol before ordering
Verify that both ends of your connection use SFF-8654 74-pin male MCIO sockets and that your hardware negotiates SAS 3.0, 4.0, PCIe Gen 3, 4, or 5, or 25 Gbps Ethernet with 56 GT/s PAM4 signalling. Confirm the 50 cm length clears your chassis routing.

Questions about this item
What SFF-8654 MCIO 74-pin devices must I already have to use this 50 cm male-to-male extender?
You need two components each equipped with an SFF-8654 74-pin MCIO receptacle — for example a host adapter and an SSD backplane — so the cable can bridge them.
Will this cable carry 24 Gbps SAS 4.0 traffic if my existing backplane only supports SAS 3.0?
The cable is rated for SAS 3.0 and 4.0; it will operate at the highest speed both ends negotiate, so a SAS 3.0 backplane will run at its native rate.
How can I verify the link is running at the expected 24 Gbps after installation?
Check the host adapter or switch management utility for a negotiated link speed of 24 Gbps and confirm error counters remain at zero during data transfer.
