Interface mapping – MCIO x8 (74-pin) host connector to OCuLink high-speed interface carrying up to 8 PCIe lanes for NVMe, U.2/U.3, or custom PCIe devices.
PCIe 4.0/5.0 ready – Optimized 85 Ω differential twinax construction for high-speed serial links, supporting PCIe Gen4 and Gen5 data rates when used within system signal-integrity budgets.
1-meter reach – 1000 mm cable length provides flexible routing inside 1U/2U servers, JBOD/JBOF enclosures, GPU/accelerator chassis, and test setups without excessive slack.
Description
This 1-meter MCIO 74-pin to OCuLink 8-lane cable is designed to link next-generation server and storage motherboards using an x8 MCIO (Mini Cool Edge IO) host port to downstream OCuLink interfaces for PCIe NVMe drives, U.2/U.3 backplanes, or PCIe expansion modules. The assembly uses high-performance shielded twinax pairs with controlled 85-ohm differential impedance to support PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 signaling over a 1 m reach in properly designed platforms. Low-skew pairs, robust shielding, and precision connectors deliver reliable high-bandwidth data paths for hyperscale, enterprise, and workstation environments.
