Tekram USA TK-2M11 (2 Bay M.2 NVMe SSD Backplane Cage with SFF-8612/OCuLink) with cables

Tekram USA M.2 NVMe Cages:

The Tekram series of backplane cages has been optimized for M.2 NVMe SSDs and is compatible with both PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 4.0. Testing has been shown with PCIe 4.0 SSDs to reach speeds up to 7400 Mbps Reading and 7000 Mbps Writing. The Tekram Cage series supports Areca, Broadcom and LinkReal cards. The TK-2M211 is a 2 Bay M.2 NVMe SSD Backplane Cage.

What is OCuLink?

OCulink, also stylized as OCuLink, is a high-speed, high-density connector interface developed by the OCuLink Workgroup, which is a consortium of companies including Intel, Amphenol, Molex, and TE Connectivity. The designations SFF-8611 are for the cable and SFF-8612 is for the receptacle.

The OCulink connector is designed primarily for use in data centers, server systems, and high-performance computing environments. The connector supports high data transfer rates, typically in the range of PCIe Gen 3 and Gen 4 speeds, allowing for fast and efficient data communication.

One of the key advantages of OCulink is its compact form factor, making it suitable for high-density storage solutions where space is limited. It comes in different configurations, including 4-lane (x4), 8-lane (x8), and 16-lane (x16) versions, depending on the application and performance requirements.
