3M 8MS8 Series Cable Assemblies
3M 8MS8 Series Multi-Channel I/O Twin Axial Cable Assemblies are designed to support high-density PCIe applications and satisfy SFF-TA-1016 specifications. The thin, low-profile twin axial cable promotes a wide range of routing options. The cable assembly also supports an extra-tight bend radius, facilitating a custom foldable ribbon construction and enabling unique packaging configurations. Signal Integrity (SI) performance metrics are not degraded, even with multiple folds. These cables come in standard lengths of 0.5m, 0.75m, and 1.0m. Typical applications include data center computers and enterprise equipment.

Don't let cable assemblies constrain your high-density server, storage, AI, or high-performance computing designs. Introducing the 3M Multi-Channel I/O Twin Axial Cable Assemblies, engineered specifically for high-density PCIe 4 and 5 applications and compliant with SFF-TA-1016 specifications. These twin axial cable assemblies are built with 3M low loss 85Ω, 31-gauge wires supporting an extremely tight bending radius for unique configurations in high-density designs. The thin, low-profile cables enable foldable ribbon construction and versatile packaging configurations without compromising signal integrity.
Available in standard lengths 0.5m, 0.75m, and 1m, these cables have a current rating of 0.5A at 30VAC per contact. Designed for reliable performance, they operate within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and have a dielectric withstanding voltage of 300VDC. Custom lengths and pre-folded cable assemblies available upon request to help reduce labor upon install.
