INLINE cabo breakout MCIO x8 para 8x SATA, 0,5 m

Server builders and storage administrators often need to connect multiple SATA drives to a single high-density MCIO port on modern motherboards or RAID controllers. This 0.5-meter breakout cable splits one MCIO x8 connector into eight individual SATA data connectors, allowing you to attach up to eight SATA hard drives or SSDs without clutter. The short length is ideal for internal routing in rackmount chassis or tower workstations where drives are close to the controller.

Key specifications

• Host connector: MCIO x8 (Mini Cool Edge IO x8) male
• Device connectors: 8x SATA 7-pin male
• Cable length: 0.5 m (50 cm)
• Supports SATA I, II, and III (up to 6 Gbps per port)
• Conductor material: copper; jacket: PVC; colour: black
• RoHS compliant

Why choose it

This cable eliminates the need for multiple separate SATA cables and reduces cable management complexity. The MCIO x8 interface provides a compact, high-density connection that is increasingly common on server boards, while the 8-way breakout ensures full SATA III performance for each drive. The robust PVC jacket and copper conductors deliver reliable signal integrity over the short distance.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting up to eight SATA drives to a single MCIO x8 port on a server motherboard
• Internal storage expansion in workstations or small NAS systems
• Replacing damaged or missing breakout cables in enterprise storage enclosures
• Building custom storage servers with high drive counts

Good to know

The cable is designed for internal use only and should be routed carefully to avoid sharp bends. Ensure your MCIO port is x8 (not x4) to utilize all eight SATA connectors. Each SATA connector supports hot-swap if the controller and drive bay support it. The 0.5 m length is sufficient for most mid-tower and rackmount configurations with nearby drive cages.
