Description
This straight‑to‑straight MCIO assembly connects a single 74‑pin MCIO host port on a motherboard, HBA, or riser to two 38‑pin MCIO device ports on NVMe backplanes or add‑in modules. Low‑loss twinax conductors and tight impedance control deliver stable performance for PCIe Gen3/4/5 and other high‑speed protocols used in data centers. Positive latches secure the connection in vibration‑prone chassis, enabling reliable expansion without re‑cabling.
