In the era of data explosion, efficient and reliable storage connectivity is crucial for ensuring the smooth operation of enterprise core applications. With the adoption of PCIe 4.0/5.0 technology, new-generation servers and storage devices are moving towards higher density and smaller form factors. The MCIO (MultiLink I/O) connector is designed for this very purpose. However, a common challenge arises: how to connect the latest MCIO-equipped devices to the widely deployed existing infrastructure using Mini SAS HD (SFF-8643) backplanes or controller cards.
Our MCIO 4X to Mini SAS HD (SFF-8643) cable is the perfect answer to this challenge.
Product Introduction:
This is a high-performance internal cable featuring a compact MCIO 4X (Male) connector on one end and a standard Mini SAS HD (SFF-8643) (Male) connector on the other. Designed for high-speed data transmission within server chassis, storage arrays, or workstations, it seamlessly bridges new and legacy storage technologies.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
High-Performance Data Transfer: Supports the PCIe 4.0 standard, delivering maximum data rates up to 64 Gbps (4 lanes x 16 GT/s). This meets the high-bandwidth demands of NVMe SSDs, eliminating performance bottlenecks.
-
Seamless Compatibility & Easy Upgrade: Allows you to integrate new-generation NVMe SSDs with MCIO interfaces into your system without replacing existing Mini SAS HD backplanes or HBA/RAID cards. It's a highly cost-effective upgrade path.
-
High-Density Connectivity: The MCIO connector is more compact than traditional interfaces, facilitating higher density in server internal layouts and optimizing space utilization.
-
Excellent Signal Integrity: Manufactured with premium cables and robust shielding to ensure signal stability and reliability at high speeds, minimizing bit error rates and safeguarding data integrity.
-
Robust and Secure: The connectors feature a secure latch-locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection in vibratory environments, guaranteeing a persistent and stable connection.
Typical Applications:
-
Server Upgrade: Connecting PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs with MCIO interfaces to standard Mini SAS HD backplanes.
-
Storage Expansion: Establishing links between controller cards and backplanes in mixed (new/old) drive environments.
-
Data Center & Cloud Services: Providing flexible storage configuration options for data centers pursuing high performance and density.
-
Workstations & High-Performance Computing (HPC): Delivering high-speed data access channels for applications like video editing and scientific computing.
