This PCIe 5.0 assembly starts with an MCIO 4x connector (SFF-TA-1016, 38-pin) and ends in a U.2 drive interface, with a power branch built into the cable so one part does the whole job. It is the shortest path from a Gen5 board’s MCIO x4 headers to 2.5-inch U.2 NVMe SSDs — no adapter card, no backplane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this cable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePCIe 5.0 rated.\u003c\/strong\u003e A full x4 link at 32 GT\/s per lane — about 15.75 GB\/s to a Gen5 U.2 SSD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect drive attach.\u003c\/strong\u003e Reaches the U.2 drive itself;
