The MCIO 8X to Slim SAS SFF-8654 8i cable VTC-AMSEA0010001-K2 from فيتالكون is a high-speed interconnect cable that bridges an MCIO 8X (8-lane) connector on the host side to a SlimSAS SFF-8654 8i connector on the device side. This cable is designed for PCIe Gen 4 environments where servers, storage arrays, and networking equipment need to communicate across different connector standards. The MCIO 8X to Slim SAS SFF-8654 8i cable supports data rates up to 16 GT/s per lane, providing up to 32 GB/s of aggregate bandwidth across the full 8-lane connection.
Built with 30 AWG high-frequency twin-axial conductors and an 85 ohm controlled-impedance system, the MCIO 8X to Slim SAS SFF-8654 8i cable maintains signal integrity at high data rates. The SlimSAS SFF-8654 8i connector is a compact, high-density interface defined by the SFF committee, optimized for cable management in dense server racks. The MCIO 8X connector follows the SFF-TA-1016 style interface, enabling greater front-panel port density than legacy PCIe connectors. Full EMI shielding suppresses crosstalk and external interference, while durable connector construction supports repeated mating cycles for long-term reliability in both production and field-service scenarios.
VITALCONN provides standard cable lengths from stock and OEM/ODM custom lengths to meet specific routing requirements in server chassis and data center racks. The MCIO 8X to Slim SAS SFF-8654 8i cable is compatible with both PCIe and SAS protocols, making it versatile across storage and computing topologies.
