MITAC Y Intel Cable Kit 1U/2U 1x MCIO su 2x SlimSAS (dritto) 1x SFF-TA-1016 su 2x SFF-8654 8i

Where typical server builds require multiple discrete cables to connect a single MCIO host port to two separate drive backplanes, this MITAC Y cable kit consolidates everything into one clean, high-density splitter. It turns one 16-lane MCIO (SFF-TA-1016) connector into two 8-lane SlimSAS 8i (SFF-8654) links, preserving full PCIe Gen5 or SAS 4.0 bandwidth while cutting clutter inside 1U and 2U chassis. The straight SlimSAS connectors align neatly with backplane ports, and the split design keeps airflow unobstructed in tight rack spaces.

Highlights

• Y-splitter: one MCIO (SFF-TA-1016) host connector to two SlimSAS 8i (SFF-8654) device connectors.
• Supports PCIe Gen5 and SAS 4.0, up to 24 Gbps per lane for demanding NVMe or SAS storage.
• Straight SlimSAS orientation fits standard 1U/2U server backplanes without awkward bends.
• EMI/RFI shielding and copper conductors ensure signal integrity in dense server environments.
• Black jacket blends into OEM chassis and simplifies cable identification.

In daily use

Inside a rackmount server, this cable kit links a motherboard or HBA with an MCIO port to two separate drive backplanes or hot-swap bays. The 16-lane MCIO interface splits into two 8-lane SlimSAS links, so you can populate two NVMe drive cages or SAS expanders from a single controller port. The straight connectors make routing predictable: no right-angle strain, no interference with adjacent components. Because the cable is shielded and built with copper conductors, it maintains stable signaling even in electrically noisy chassis. The black jacket is durable yet flexible enough for clean cable management.
