Dolphin PCIe 3.0 SFF-8644 Fiber Pigtails
If you need to route the fiber cable through bulkheads or want flexibility on the length, two MSP4M-1M Optical Pigtails can be combined with one of the available MTFCFF x4 Optical Patch cables to create a reliable PCIe 3.0 x4 link. Please note you need two MTPC Fiber Couplers to create one x4 link. Please also note you need to clean the MPO fiber head each time the cable is connected. Dolphin recommends the MPCLEAN MPO cleaning kit available from Dolphin.
