Product Description
The XIC PE5160H-4IL is a high-performance, low dielectric loss factor lateral plug-in interface conversion card. It connects NVMe SSD or PCIe connectors via MCIO connector . The bandwidth of the card is the bandwidth that the PCIe slot of the motherboard can support.
The Motherboard with CPU and BIOS needs to support bifurcation to ensure PCIe x16 link width to bifurcate two x8 link width or four x4 link width for NVMe SSD, Otherwise this card can only support PCIe x16 link width.
Features
Support up to 4 PCIe devices or NVMe SSDs
Compatible with PCIe Gen5, Gen4, Gen3
Directly connected to U.2 NVMe SSD by MCIO to SFF-8639 cable
Support bifurcated in quad x4 data link width configuration(CPU and BIOS both support)
Support bifurcated in two x8 data link width configuration (CPU and BIOS both support)
Build in MCIO 8i connector 2 sets, pin-out defined by SFF-9402
Lateral plug-in cable
Operating system support
The adapter does not require a driver for operation or communication to attached NVMe drives. The drives are presented natively to the host and use the native NVMe drivers.

- Manufacturers Directory
The Shinreal XIC PE5160-H-V3.0 is a PCIe x16 expansion adapter with two MCIO 8i connectors for connecting up to four PCIe devices or NVMe SSDs, making it suitable for workstation and server builders whose CPU and BIOS support PCIe bifurcation.
Recommended For
- Server or workstation builders with a PCIe x16 slot and CPU/BIOS support for PCIe bifurcation who want to connect up to four NVMe devices through MCIO cabling.
- Storage-system builders adding U.2 NVMe SSDs to a compatible host or backplane who already have, or plan to source, the required MCIO-to-SFF-8639 cables.
- Homelab and test-bench users experimenting with PCIe storage layouts who can check lane allocation, host bifurcation settings, and cable pinouts before installing drives.
- Users repurposing an available PCIe x16 slot for cabling-based NVMe expansion, rather than installing drives directly on the motherboard.
