InLine® MCIO x8 Breakout Cable to 8x SATA, 0.75 m

This MCIO x8 to 8x SATA breakout cable stands apart by consolidating eight SATA drive connections into a single high-density MCIO port, eliminating the cable clutter that plagues dense storage servers. At just 0.75 m, it reaches drives in adjacent bays without excess slack, while the straight connectors keep airflow unobstructed. Unlike generic adapters, its shielded copper conductors and SATA III readiness ensure each of the eight channels delivers full 6 Gbps throughput simultaneously, making it a dependable backbone for RAID arrays and JBOD expansions.

Highlights

• Single MCIO x8 (SFF-8654 8i) host connector fans out to eight SATA 7-pin data ports
• Supports SATA III 6 Gbps per port, with backward compatibility to SATA I and II
• Shielded copper conductors preserve signal integrity across all eight lanes
• Compact 0.75 m length suits mid-tower and rackmount chassis without excess cable bulk
• Straight connector orientation on both ends simplifies routing in tight internal spaces

In daily use

Inside a busy server or workstation, this cable turns a single MCIO controller port into eight ready-to-use SATA connections. Install it once and you can hot-swap or add drives without re-cabling the entire backplane. The black jacket blends into most builds, and the flexible yet durable construction withstands repeated re-routing during upgrades. Whether you are assembling a high-capacity NAS or expanding a video editing rig, the predictable 6 Gbps per channel keeps large file transfers steady and responsive.
