How to use

Choose the appropriate cable length for your installation and align the MCIO x8 connector with the host adapter or motherboard port. Insert the connector until it seats securely, then connect the two SFF-8654 4i plugs to the target device interfaces. Ensure connectors are fully engaged to maintain optimal signal integrity. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; secure it within the chassis or rack to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use the InLine MCIO cable in short runs inside server enclosures or between adjacent rack-mounted devices to achieve best performance. Verify device compatibility with PCIe Gen4/Gen5 and NVMe/SAS/SATA protocols and select the correct cable length to avoid unnecessary signal attenuation or mechanical stress.
