Who needs U.2 cables?

[neo]

I've seen a few members express interest in obtaining this seemingly hard to find Amphenol U.2 cable ( SFF-8639 to SFF-8643). I've recently made a connection with an Amphenol vendor and I'm able to get a custom made batch. As you know, Amphenol only sells direct to OEM configurators and does not have a retail channel.

I'm just offering this since I've seen a need, not looking to make a profit selling these cables - it'll probably be a one time thing. PM me if you are interested.

2 cables reserved. If you are interested, let me know as soon as possible. I will only be waiting a few days until I place the total order.

Pending getting my NVME AOC SM cards to work I'd be down for 4-6.

How much will they cost?

 

[Chuntzu]

Depending on cost I would be interested

How much will they cost?

This.

@neo any idea on pricing? I may be interested in a few (or more than a few.)

2 more cables reserved.

 

[neo]

6 more reserved. For anyone else interested let me know as I will be placing the total order Monday afternoon.

 

[neo]

Isn't it hella strange after several members ask you for price, you just act like nothing happened?

They all found out the price

 

[Patrick]

They all found out the price

And some have already paid.

 

[neo]

Just to keep this thread up to date, the total group order has been placed and I am no longer accepting additional orders at this time.

 

[Patrick]

I am eagerly awaiting this one.

when SFF 8639 aka U.2 cables will be available ... | Intel Communities

Glad I got some neo's on the way and he got me some spares

 

[neo]

Almost wish I would have ordered more, the interest in the cables seems to be growing exponentially. I've had people join this forum just to PM me regarding it.

 

[neo]

To put this thread to a close, I just received the cables. I will be individually packaging up the cables to those members who ordered and shipping it out within the next 2 days - and PMing tracking numbers.

Still cables left ???????

Question of the century.

Everyone wants a cable or two, but no one wants to organize a new additional group buy.

I'm not making a profit on these cables, I just did it as a one time thing. However, ever since I have been hammered with requests to purchase additional cables - which I don't have. I almost wish I had a warehouse and the logistics to purchase a large batch and start reselling them since there is a large demand but no supply.

I would have liked a few but seen this way too late. It was a good thing you did for those who got them.

Anyone else able to get a hold of these cables? I am in need of a few as well.
