MITAC Y Intel Cable Kit 2U 1x MCIO to 2x SlimSAS (straight/4x NVMe SSD) for M50FCP2UR312, 1x SFF-TA-1016 to 2x SFF-8654 4i

Space inside a 2U Intel M50FCP2UR312 is tight, and generic breakout cables often force awkward bends or block airflow. This MITAC Y-splitter cable takes a different route: one low-profile MCIO host connection fans out to two straight SlimSAS device connectors, giving you four NVMe SSD links without the bulk. It is not just a cable—it is a precise fit for your server's storage architecture, engineered to keep signal integrity intact and your drive bays breathing.

Highlights

• Y-splitter design: one MCIO (SFF-TA-1016) host connector to two SlimSAS (SFF-8654 4i) device connectors
• Supports up to 4 NVMe SSDs via PCIe, with 4 data lanes per SlimSAS connector (x4 each, 8 total lanes)
• Straight connector orientation ensures easy routing in 2U server enclosures
• Purpose-built for Intel M50FCP2UR312 systems, guaranteeing pinout and signal integrity
• Internal storage expansion cable, ideal for high-performance NVMe arrays

In daily use

Installing this cable means no guesswork: the MCIO end clicks securely into the server board, while the two SlimSAS connectors reach your backplane or drive cages with minimal bend radius. Because it is a straight (non-angled) cable, you avoid the strain that right-angle connectors often cause in tight 2U spaces. The result is a reliable, high-bandwidth link that keeps your NVMe drives running at full PCIe speed, whether for databases, virtualisation, or AI workloads.
