cable

What is this thing? I bought this cable for these two U.2 drives I can connect the 2 big black things to the U.2 drives the white one looks familiar (Sata) but this other one at the forefront (picture above) what is it meant for? Is one Sata (white) enough to power the two U.2? what...

I am having quite a few Issues wiring up the Backplane on a Supermicro SC825, but the Considerations will probably be very similar to SC826, SC847, etc. There just isn't much space at all in front of the Fans for passing the Cables o_O. With the previous Generation of LSI Controllers (LSI...

I'm trying to use a workstation PSUs (ZEUS 1650R Titanium) with a server motherboard Asrock Rack TURIN2D16-2T. There are 2 types of cables I have that look similar: The EPS ones that appear to be for the CPU and the PCIe ones that look like the CPUs ones. My problem is with the connectors on...

MCIO PCIe 5 -> MCIO x8 74 Pin to 2 X SFF-8639 U.2 Cable -> U.2 PCIe 5 It would be quite a remarkable stupidity to buy a PCIe 5 motherboard and a PCIe 5 U.2 and slow them down with a PCIe 4 cable, if indeed these cables come in PCIe versions. This one was mentioned earlier, not sure about the...

Hi, I would like to make use of the slimSAS connection on my ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero motherboard. I bought an SFF-8654 4i 38 Pin Host to 4 SATA cable: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073F67WVN But when I plug my HDDs in they are not recognised. Motherboard setting is set to default 'auto'...

I have been watching this exact item for about 9 months which has been ~$50 for the 5-pack. The seller doesn't seem to have been moving many, so they are having a sale for the next ~2 days. I offered $30 each for 2x 5-packs and was accepted. https://www.ebay.com/itm/146087103669 These 4-lane...

Do any of you know where to find Very short, or even custom 8087 Cables? I would like to not interrupt airflow to much and the connectors are between 4 and 0 inches apart. I currently have .5m(1.5ft) cables, and they are to long. If anyone knows where to buy the wire and connectors I would be...

I tried to connect but controller does not see the enclosure. It scans drives during boot longer than usual. But it does not see any HDD. Maybe the problem is in cables. How to check that? I have ordered 2 cables QSFP to SFF-8644. They are from China and do not look like something original. Can...

Hi, it should be possible to use SATA to SFF-8088 breakout cables in both server and disk chassis? However, as far as I understand I would need two identical breakout cables to not end up with RX/TX pairs switched? Can anyone please correct me if I'm wrong?

It's quite hard to believe, but I couldn't find any information about creating a 40 Gbit home network. My issue is simple: I live in a 3 room apartment. Since I need the 40 Gbit connection between the rooms, a DAC solution is out of the question - since the distance between the rooms is approx...

Hy! I bought this cable https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B013G4FEGG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and i connected to my Supermicro X9DRi-LN4F+ SFF8087 port. I plugged the cable other end to the HDD-s and they won't spin up. I tried to cover PIN3 on the hdd, still the same...

Hello, Does a break out cable which is known to work with connectx 5 should work out of te box without furteher setting (like ethtool) ? I am referring to a 100 GB cable with 4 x 25 ends, which connects a dual port connectx-5 nic to I40E . Or does it require setting or flushing firmware with...

I ordered some SFP-H10GB-CU3M compatible (supposedly) DACs from fs.com, and although they're nice and thin, and work with my Mellanox Connectx-3 cards in my NAS', they are not compatible with my P81E 10GbE cards in my UCS servers. Can anyone recommend a good DAC in 3-5m distances to connect my...
