Supermicro Kabel CBL-MCIO-1418M5FA1 MCIO x8 STR auf FFC Fold - Kabel

Engineered for high-density server and storage environments, this internal data cable delivers an MCIO x8 straight connector on one end and a foldable FFC on the other, enabling flexible routing in tight spaces. The 8-lane design supports PCIe Gen4/Gen5 signaling, ensuring reliable, high-speed connectivity between motherboards and backplanes.

Overview

The Supermicro CBL-MCIO-1418M5FA1 is a premium internal interconnect solution built for modern data centers. It features a straight MCIO x8 connector that plugs directly into compatible Supermicro motherboards or add-on cards, while the opposite end terminates in a flexible flat cable (FFC) with a fold form factor. This combination allows the cable to bend and fold without compromising signal integrity, making it ideal for compact server chassis and storage enclosures where space is at a premium.
