Oculink 4i Angled Connector to 4 X Oculink 4i Cable - 400mm

‌Technical Description

This cable assembly is a breakout/fan-out interconnect designed to distribute a single OCuLink 4i (SFF-8611) host connection into four independent OCuLink 4i (SFF-8612) device connections, or to link an OCuLink-enabled host/backplane to multiple NVMe drives, storage bays, or PCIe expansion devices. The host-side connector features a right-angle (angled) form factor to reduce vertical clearance requirements inside compact chassis, while the four downstream legs terminate in standard straight OCuLink 4i connectors, each carrying an independent PCIe x4 lane group. The 400mm length is suited for mid-tower to full-tower server/workstation chassis, external drive enclosures, and rack-mount backplane routing.

Top 10 Characteristics

1. Connector Type: OCuLink 4i (SFF-8611) angled host connector to 4x OCuLink 4i (SFF-8612) straight device connectors
2. Signal Interface: PCI Express (PCIe) Gen3/Gen4 compliant, supporting up to 4 lanes per OCuLink port
3. Cable Length: 400mm (approx. 15.7 inches) per leg/branch
4. Data Rate Support: Up to 8 GT/s (Gen3) or 16 GT/s (Gen4) per lane, depending on host/device controller support
5. Configuration: 1-to-4 fan-out/breakout design for multi-drive or multi-device connectivity from a single host port
6. Connector Orientation: 90° angled connector on host side for low-profile routing; straight connectors on device side
7. Shielding: Fully shielded cable and connector housing to minimize EMI/RFI interference at high signal speeds
8. Conductor Construction: High-quality copper conductors with controlled impedance (typically 85Ω differential) for signal integrity over length
9. Application Compatibility: Used with NVMe SSD backplanes, PCIe expansion boxes, server storage arrays, and OCuLink-enabled motherboards/HBAs
10. Durability & Compliance: Latching/locking connector mechanism for secure retention, RoHS-compliant materials, rated for repeated insertion cycles
