AJMRTC Detachable OCuLink SFF-8611 8i 8-Lane to Dual Slimline SAS SFF-8654 4i Active Breakout Cable, 50cm, PCIe 4.0, Supports PCIe Bifurcation and VROC Virtual RAID for NVMe SSD Backplane

AJMRTC active breakout cable converts a single OCuLink 8i port into two separate Slimline SAS SFF-8654 4i ports. The built-in retimer reshapes and amplifies high-speed PCIe signals to sustain reliable Gen4 performance over the 50cm length. It follows SFF-9402 OCuLink standards and connects OCuLink host adapters to SFF-8654 SlimSAS backplanes and HBA controllers. PCIe bifurcation must be turned on in BIOS so both storage channels can be detected simultaneously. It fits rack servers, high-performance workstations, NAS and AI storage nodes. SSDs and backplanes are sold separately.
