Server & Storage I/O Cable
A Server & Storage I/O cable refers to any data, power, or control cable used inside a server chassis to connect internal components such as CPUs, memory, storage devices, backplanes, expansion cards, and cooling systems. These cables are designed to support high signal integrity, efficient power delivery, and reliable operation in compact, high-density environments.
Key Features:
Data cables: Includes PCIe, MCIO, mini-SAS, SAS/SATA, and NVMe interconnects that provide high-speed communication between the motherboard, storage devices, and expansion modules.
Power cables: Distribute power from the power supply unit (PSU) to various server components.
Control and signal cables: Used for system management, fan control, LED indicators, and other internal functions.
Form factor: Optimized for space-saving routing, low EMI (electromagnetic interference), and thermal efficiency.
Typical Examples:
PCIe riser cables for GPU or accelerator connections.
MCIO or mini-SAS HD cables for NVMe or SAS storage backplanes.
SATA power and data cables for HDDs or SSDs.
Fan and sensor wiring harnesses.
Applications:
Internal data transfer within servers, storage systems, and high-performance computing nodes.
Integration of modular components in blade or rack servers.
