The MCIO 16X left angle to right angle cable VTC-AMSKK3210001-K2 from 바이탈콘 is a PCIe Gen 5 interconnect engineered for connectors that face opposite directions. One end terminates in a left-exit MCIO 16X plug and the other in a right-exit MCIO 16X plug, so the MCIO 16X left angle to right angle cable forms natural C-shaped or S-shaped routing paths between oppositely oriented ports. It carries all 16 PCIe lanes at up to 32 GT/s per lane for motherboard-to-backplane, riser, and storage links in dense servers.

Although the angled exits change the physical routing, electrical performance is fully preserved. Internal impedance compensation at each bend maintains a stable 85 ohm +/- 10% differential impedance with low insertion loss, while shielded 30 AWG twin-axial pairs keep crosstalk and EMI tightly controlled at Gen 5 frequencies. Picosecond-level delay matching across the 16 lanes ensures timing alignment between channels. Because the exit directions are fixed, the assembly also acts as a foolproof routing aid, standardizing installation in high-volume manufacturing and preventing ad-hoc bending that can degrade signals or block airflow.

VITALCONN manufactures the MCIO 16X left angle to right angle cable in typical lengths from 0.3 m to 0.8 m, with OEM/ODM custom lengths available.

Key Features of the MCIO 16X left angle to right angle cable

Opposite-Exit Geometry: Left-angle and right-angle plugs route cables toward opposite sides, ideal for reversed connector orientations.
Obstacle Avoidance: Angled exits steer cables clear of heatsinks, VR modules, and capacitors near PCB edges.
Impedance-Matched Bends: Internal compensation keeps 85 ohm impedance continuous through each angled exit.
Picosecond Skew Control: Length-matched lanes preserve multi-lane timing at Gen 5 data rates.
Foolproof Installation: Fixed exit directions enforce a standardized cable path in volume production.
Secure Latching: Positive locks keep connectors mated under vibration and shock.
Wide Temperature Range: -40 to +85 degC operation for demanding data center duty.
OEM/ODM Customization: Custom lengths, gauge options, labels, and packaging on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a left angle to right angle combination?

The MCIO 16X left angle to right angle cable is designed for two connectors that exit toward opposite sides. The left and right angled plugs let the cable leave each connector in a predetermined direction, forming C- or S-shaped paths that avoid obstacles and tidy up dense enclosures.

Do the angled connectors affect signal integrity?

No. The bends are internally compensated to maintain 85 ohm +/- 10% differential impedance and low insertion loss, so the cable meets PCIe Gen 5 signal-integrity requirements despite the angled exits.

What lengths are available?

Typical lengths range from 0.3 m to 0.8 m. OEM/ODM custom lengths are available for specific chassis routing; contact VITALCONN with your requirements.

What bend radius does the cable support?

The cable body supports a dynamic bend radius greater than 5x its outer diameter. The fixed angled exits further reduce the need for tight hand bending during installation.
