WRIARICH 50CM PCIe 5.0 MCIO STR Straight Extension Cable, Mini Cool Edge IO SFF-TA-1016 8i 74Pin Male to Male High-Speed Server Storage Interconnect Cord

This 50-centimeter straight (STR) Mini Cool Edge IO (MCIO) high-speed extension cable adopts dual MCIO SFF-TA-1016 8i 74Pin male connectors, engineered exclusively for PCIe 5.0 enterprise servers, high-density all-flash storage arrays, HPC workstations and data center hardware deployment.

Constructed with 30AWG silver-plated differential twinax conductors and full wrap-around shielding layers, the cable strictly maintains standardized 85-ohm impedance to preserve complete PCIe Gen5 x8 bandwidth under heavy continuous data loads, supporting up to 256Gbps total throughput without speed loss or read/write errors. The straight STR connector design avoids sharp cable bending damage inside compact rack enclosures, enabling neat, organized internal cable routing without blocking cooling airflow.

Each connector features integrated metal locking pull tabs to secure stable mating, effectively preventing loose contact caused by rack vibration, thermal expansion and frequent equipment maintenance. The 50cm balanced length offers sufficient wiring flexibility for mid-size server chassis while avoiding excess slack clutter.

It seamlessly connects MCIO host HBAs to NVMe SSD backplanes, CXL expansion cards and high-speed storage controllers, fully backward compatible with PCIe 4.0, PCIe 3.0 and SAS 4.0 protocols. No extra drivers or complicated BIOS adjustments required for plug-and-play installation. Every cable undergoes rigorous signal integrity, bending durability and long-term aging tests before shipment, a reliable high-speed interconnect solution for data centers, AI training rigs and industrial storage servers.
