Applications:
Connects PCIe 5.0 host systems (servers/HBAs) to dual NVMe storage devices (U. 2/U. 3 SSDs).
Used in AI/ML servers, high-performance storage arrays, and GPU/accelerator expansion.
Supports NVMe-oF (NVMe over Fabrics) if paired with compatible adapters.
Compatibility Notes:
Requires host BIOS/UEFI support for PCIe bifurcation (x8 to x4/x4).
Verify MCIO connector types (8i vs. 4i) on both host and devices.
Not all MCIO cables support SASensure PCIe/NVMe-specific use.
This cable is ideal for scalable, high-bandwidth PCIe 5.0 deployments where splitting an x8 link into two x4 connections is needed.
