The MCIO 16X to MCIO 16X 90 degree cable VTC-AMSKK1110001-K2 from فيتالكون terminates in right-angle (90-degree) MCIO 16X plugs at both ends, so the cable lies flat along the PCB immediately after mating. The MCIO 16X to MCIO 16X 90 degree cable directly addresses the height restrictions of 1U and 2U rack servers, where straight-exit connectors and their bend radii can collide with the chassis lid. It carries all 16 PCIe lanes at up to 32 GT/s per lane for PCIe Gen 5 backplane, riser, and storage connections.

Although the connectors turn the cable 90 degrees, electrical performance follows the same SFF-TA-1016 style interface discipline. Precision impedance compensation inside each right-angle plug maintains 85 ohm +/- 10% differential impedance with only a slight, specification-compliant increase in insertion loss, typically offset by the shorter overall cable lengths used for board-edge connections. The flat routing is also airflow-friendly: instead of standing up into the airstream, the cable hugs the board and leaves the thermal path to fans and heatsinks clear. Positive latches and 200+ mating-cycle durability keep the connection secure in high-density production and service environments.

VITALCONN supplies the MCIO 16X to MCIO 16X 90 degree cable in typical lengths from 0.2 m to 0.8 m, with OEM/ODM custom lengths and exit orientations available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a 90 degree MCIO cable instead of a straight one?

The MCIO 16X to MCIO 16X 90 degree cable drops to board level immediately after mating. In 1U servers with roughly 4.45 cm of internal height, straight connectors plus their mandatory bend radius can hit the top cover, while the 90-degree design keeps the cable flat along the PCB.

Does the right-angle connector degrade PCIe Gen 5 signals?

The 90-degree transition is internally impedance-compensated to hold 85 ohm +/- 10% with only a marginal insertion-loss increase, which stays within specification and is normally offset by the shorter lengths typical of board-edge connections.

How durable are the right-angle connectors?

The connectors are rated for 200+ mating cycles and include positive latches, supporting both volume manufacturing and repeated field service.

What lengths and orientations are available?

Typical lengths range from 0.2 m to 0.8 m. Same-direction exits ship as standard; opposite-direction and mixed straight/90-degree combinations, plus custom lengths, are available through OEM/ODM request.
