The MCIO 8X to 2x Slim SAS SFF-8654 4i cable VTC-MSE90010001-K2 from 바이탈콘 is a high-performance splitter cable designed for PCIe Gen 4 server and data center storage applications. It takes a single MCIO 8X (8-lane) connector on the host side and splits the signals into two SlimSAS SFF-8654 4i connectors, each carrying 4 lanes. This configuration allows one motherboard MCIO port to drive two downstream NVMe or SAS storage devices, backplanes, or expansion cards. The MCIO 8X to 2x Slim SAS SFF-8654 4i cable supports data rates up to 16 GT/s per lane, delivering up to 32 GB/s of aggregate bandwidth across both SlimSAS outputs.

Constructed with 30 AWG high-frequency twin-axial conductors and an 85 ohm controlled-impedance system, the MCIO 8X to 2x Slim SAS SFF-8654 4i cable maintains signal integrity at PCIe Gen 4 speeds. The SlimSAS SFF-8654 4i connector is a compact, high-density interface defined by the SFF committee, optimized for cable management and space efficiency in dense server racks. The MCIO 8X connector follows the SFF-TA-1016 style interface, maximizing port density on server front panels. Full EMI shielding with drain wire suppresses crosstalk and external interference, while durable connector housings ensure reliable performance through repeated mating cycles in both production and field-service scenarios.

VITALCONN offers standard cable lengths from stock as well as OEM/ODM custom lengths for specific chassis routing requirements. The MCIO 8X to 2x Slim SAS SFF-8654 4i cable is compatible with PCIe Gen 4 and is backward compatible with PCIe Gen 3.
