InLine 27667A Serial Attached SCSI Cable MCIO x8 to 2x SFF-8639 U.2 PCIe 5.0 0.5 m Black

The InLine 27667A Serial Attached SCSI Cable is a high-performance internal data transmission solution designed for professional server and storage environments. Measuring 0.5 meters in length, this specialized cable features an MCIO x8 connector on one end and splits into two SFF-8639 U.2 connectors on the other, allowing you to connect two compatible U.2 NVMe solid-state drives through a single host port. Built to support PCI Express 5.0, it ensures rapid and reliable data transfer for demanding computing setups.

Advantages

This cable facilitates efficient hardware connectivity by enabling the integration of two U.2 drives using a single MCIO x8 host port, optimizing internal space and port utilization in dense server chassis. Each SFF-8639 connector is equipped with an integrated 15-pin SATA power cable to supply direct electrical power to the connected drives without requiring separate complex wiring. Compliance with UL standards guarantees safety and dependable build quality during continuous operation in enterprise environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting two U.2 NVMe SSDs to an MCIO x8 host port in enterprise servers
• Expanding storage capacity in high-performance workstations
• Deploying fast internal data transmission in professional data storage systems

This cable may not be suitable for standard consumer desktop computers that lack dedicated MCIO x8 controller ports and U.2 drive infrastructure. It is also not designed for external peripheral connections or scenarios requiring cable lengths significantly longer than 0.5 meters.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Connector 1: MCIO x8
• Connector 2: 2x SFF-8639 U.2
• Supported standard: PCI Express 5.0
• Power connectors: 2x 15-pin SATA
• Color: Black
• Compliance: UL

To use this cable, ensure your server motherboard or host controller features an available MCIO x8 port and that your system case accommodates the 0.5-meter reach between the controller and the drive bays. Connect the MCIO x8 end to the host port, attach the two SFF-8639 connectors to your compatible U.2 NVMe SSDs, and plug the integrated 15-pin SATA power connectors into your system power supply unit to deliver necessary power to the drives.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your host hardware includes an active MCIO x8 port
• Confirm compatibility with your specific U.2 NVMe SSD models
• Check that the 0.5-meter cable length is sufficient for your internal chassis layout
• Ensure your power supply unit has available 15-pin SATA power connections

Usage recommendations: Handle the cable with care during installation to avoid bending the connectors excessively. Ensure all latches are fully engaged upon connection, and route the cable away from sharp metal edges and cooling airflow paths to maintain optimal thermal management and signal integrity inside the system.
