Tekram USA TK-4M211 (4 Bay M.2 NVMe SSD Backplane Cage with Oculink 5411)

Tekram USA M.2 NVMe Cages:

The Tekram USA series of M.2 NVMe Back Plane cages are built for tool-less drive use and optimized performance. Scalable from dual to quad drive bays, the Tekram USA Back Plane cages are optimized for fast and stable data transmission. Compatible with either PCIe 3.0 or PCIe 4.0, the cages are designed to match the limits of any M.2 NVMe drives. Tested with Areca Controllers, these backplane cages are also compatible with Broadcom HBA/RAID controllers as well.

What is OCuLink (SFF-8612)?

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.
