How to use

Connect one MCIO x8 (74-pin) connector to the corresponding MCIO port on an SSD, controller card or backplane and the other end to the matching port on the opposite device. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that connected devices support the required protocol (PCIe, SAS or Ethernet) and lane rate. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the shielding continuity for optimal signal quality.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable within rack and chassis installations that allow gentle cable radii, ensure compatible firmware and host controller settings for PCIe/SAS/Ethernet operation, and avoid exposure to excessive mechanical stress or EMI sources.
