Description
 
MCIO 8x 74P to 2 MCIO 4x 38P Cable, Straight to Straight
The MCIO 8x 74P to 2 MCIO 4x 38P Cable is a high-performance internal breakout cable designed for next-generation data center and enterprise storage applications. This cable provides a critical interface bifurcation, splitting a single high-bandwidth MCIO (SFF-TA-1016) 8-lane host port into two independent MCIO 4-lane channels. It is engineered to deliver exceptional signal integrity, supporting PCIe protocols to enable flexible, high-speed data transfer and efficient port utilization in demanding computing environments.
Features
  • High-Density Port Expansion: Efficiently bifurcates a single SFF-TA-1016 (MCIO) 8-lane port into two separate SFF-TA-1016 (MCIO) 4-lane ports, maximizing connectivity and design flexibility for PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 6.0 applications without requiring additional host slots.
  • High-Speed PCIe Support: Designed specifically for PCIe protocol, delivering exceptional performance for NVMe storage systems and ensuring stable data rates for the latest PCIe generations.
  • Superior Signal Integrity: Constructed with precision-engineered twin-axial cables and robust multi-layer shielding to minimize insertion loss, crosstalk, and EMI, ensuring pristine signal quality and stable performance at high data rates.
  • Optimized for Airflow and Management: The flexible cable jacket and slim profile facilitate neat routing and improve internal airflow within dense server and storage chassis, which is crucial for thermal management.
  • Robust and Reliable Construction: Features high-quality zinc alloy connectors with a secure dual-point latching mechanism for a positive connection and strain relief for enhanced cable longevity.

  • Wire Gauge: 30 AWG
  • Shielding: Individual pair shielding with overall braid + foil shield
  • Operating Temperature: -20°C to +85°C
Applications
  • NVMe Storage JBOF/IBOF Systems: Connecting a single PCIe host port from a controller card to two separate NVMe SSD modules or backplanes, effectively doubling the number of connected devices.
  • Server Storage Expansion: Bifurcating a high-speed port on a motherboard or PCIe switch to connect multiple storage drives or backplanes in rack servers and all-flash arrays.
  • Data Center Infrastructure: Deploying in hyperscale data centers and cloud infrastructure for high-density, scalable server and storage configurations that require efficient port usage.
  • High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI: Used in HPC clusters, AI training servers, and workstations that require maximum storage bandwidth and connectivity for a large number of high-speed NVMe drives.
  • System Integration and Upgrades: Facilitating system builds, expansions, or upgrades where a single x8 port needs to be split to support two x4 end devices.
