Product Introduction: MCIO 8i to Dual SFF-8654 4i Adapter Cable

This high-speed internal adapter cable is a critical connectivity solution for modern server and storage systems. It efficiently breaks out one MCIO 8i (Multi-Channel I/O) connector into two independent SFF-8654 4i (often referred to as SlimSAS or Mini-SAS HD) ports, enabling flexible and high-bandwidth expansion for NVMe storage devices.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Efficient Interface Breakout: Translates the 8 lanes (x8) from a single MCIO host port into two discrete 4-lane (x4) SFF-8654 interfaces, allowing one host connection to support two high-speed NVMe SSDs or backplane modules.

• Designed for PCIe Gen5/Gen4: Engineered to support high data rates of PCIe 5.0 (up to 32 GT/s per lane) and is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 systems, ensuring maximum bandwidth for the latest NVMe storage.

• Enables High-Density Storage: Essential for expanding storage capacity in servers, all-flash arrays, and JBOF (Just a Bunch of Flash) appliances by efficiently utilizing available host controller lanes.

• Flexible System Design: Provides system integrators and server manufacturers with greater configuration flexibility, optimizing the use of motherboard and add-in-card interfaces for balanced performance and density.

• High-Quality Construction: Features precise impedance control, low-loss cabling, and secure connectors to ensure signal integrity and reliable performance in demanding data center environments.
