Description

🔌 ESSENTIAL CABLE FOR U.2/U.3 NVMe STORAGE

Professional-grade 50cm Oculink to U.2 cable – often sold separately for £30-40

High-Quality Oculink to U.2/U.3 Connection Cable

This 50cm Oculink SFF-8611 to U.2 SFF-8639 cable is an essential component for connecting U.2 or U.3 NVMe SSDs to systems with Oculink ports. Whether you’re using a PCIe to Oculink adapter card, an M.2 to Oculink adapter, or a motherboard with built-in Oculink connectors, this cable provides the reliable connection you need for high-performance enterprise storage.

Why You Need This Cable

🔧 With Adapter Cards

Required to connect PCIe to Oculink adapter cards to your U.2/U.3 NVMe SSD. Many adapters are sold without cables, requiring separate purchase.

💾 Replacement Cable

Replace a lost, damaged, or worn cable from your existing U.2 adapter kit. Keep a spare for mission-critical systems.

📏 Extension/Flexibility

50cm length provides installation flexibility, allowing you to position U.2 SSDs in optimal locations for cooling and cable management.

🖥️ Motherboard Oculink

Some workstation and server motherboards have native Oculink ports. This cable connects them directly to U.2/U.3 drives.

Technical Features

  • Connector Type: Oculink SFF-8611 (male) to U.2/U.3 SFF-8639 (male)
  • Cable Length: 50cm (19.7 inches) – ideal for most builds
  • Active Latching: Secure locking connectors prevent accidental disconnection
  • Data Transfer Rate: Supports up to PCIe 4.0 speeds (16 Gbps)
  • Signal Quality: High-quality shielded cable for reliable data transmission
  • Backward Compatible: Works with PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 2.0 devices
  • Build Quality: Professional-grade construction for long-term reliability

What This Cable Connects

Side A (Oculink SFF-8611) Side B (U.2 SFF-8639)
PCIe to Oculink adapter cards U.2 NVMe SSDs (Intel Optane, Samsung, Kioxia, Micron, WD)
M.2 to Oculink adapter cards
Motherboards with Oculink ports
Server backplanes with Oculink

Note: U.3 drives use the same SFF-8639 connector as U.2, so this cable works with both U.2 and U.3 NVMe SSDs.
