Adaptador de cabo ICY DOCK MCIO 8i SFF-TA-1016 para MCIO 8i SFF-TA-1016 (MB412L-B)

Direct cable adapter ICY DOCK MCIO 8i SFF-TA-1016 to MCIO 8i SFF-TA-1016 is a purpose-built interconnect cable for linking two devices that use the SFF-TA-1016 MCIO 8i interface. It provides a point-to-point physical connection without protocol conversion, enabling straightforward integration in server and storage environments where matched MCIO 8i ports are present. The adapter is intended for scenarios that require a reliable, low-profile connection between compatible chassis, backplanes, or host cards.

Advantages

The cable adapter maintains signal integrity by matching the SFF-TA-1016 physical interface on both ends, reducing the need for additional adapters or intermediary devices. Its direct connection approach simplifies rack installations and hardware replacement tasks by providing a predictable link path. The product is compatible with equipment that accepts the MCIO 8i form factor and is designed for environments where stable, passive cabling is preferred.

Suitable for

• Point-to-point connections between servers, storage enclosures, and backplanes with MCIO 8i SFF-TA-1016 ports
• Rack installations that require compact, direct cabling without protocol translation
• Hardware upgrades or replacements where matching SFF-TA-1016 connectors are available
• Data center and enterprise storage environments with MCIO 8i-compatible hardware

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFF-TA-1016 MCIO 8i to SFF-TA-1016 MCIO 8i
• Connection: direct point-to-point passive adapter cable
• Application: server and storage interconnects, backplane linking
• Form factor: compact MCIO 8i connector profile suitable for dense rack environments
• Mounting/placement: inline cable between compatible ports; suitable for horizontal and vertical rack routing

How to use

Power down equipment or follow your site hot-swap procedures before inserting or removing the adapter when required by the system. Align each MCIO 8i SFF-TA-1016 connector with the corresponding port and insert the connector until it seats firmly. Verify physical seating and check device indicators or management interfaces to confirm link status. For replacement tasks, remove the existing cable or adapter and install this adapter following the same alignment and seating steps. No software or protocol configuration is performed by this adapter; connectivity is determined by the connected devices.

Recommendations

Use in environments where both devices explicitly support the SFF-TA-1016 MCIO 8i interface. Avoid excessive bending or tension near the connectors and route the cable to minimize stress. If the system supports hot-swap, follow vendor procedures; otherwise, power down equipment before connecting. Verify compatibility with your server or storage vendor documentation to ensure proper operation.
