CBL-0176L-01 Supermicro 46cm Cable

High-Density Internal Storage Breakout Cable enabling MiniSAS-to-SATA fanout with the CBL-0176L-01

The CBL-0176L-01 is a Supermicro internal storage breakout cable engineered to map a 4-lane MiniSAS SFF-8087 channel from a backplane or HBA to 4 discrete SATA device ports while preserving sideband signaling where required. In modern rack server designs, this type of fanout is often the simplest way to align controller topology with chassis drive wiring without reworking the backplane or adding intermediate adapters.

Architecturally, CBL-0176L-01 supports x4 lane breakout for SAS/SATA channel distribution inside the chassis, helping storage controllers and expander/backplane layouts present predictable port-to-drive mapping for provisioning and service operations. The staggered fanout leg lengths (46/33/23/13 cm) are optimized for clean internal routing, reducing bend stress and improving airflow compatibility in high-density storage nodes, where PCIe expansion, NVMe add-in cards, and front-drive cabling compete for space.

Why Choose the CBL-0176L-01?

CBL-0176L-01 provides a controlled, standards-aligned path between MiniSAS backplane/HBA connectivity and SATA drive endpoints, supporting repeatable build quality across fleet deployments. By integrating sideband support, CBL-0176L-01 fits chassis designs that depend on enclosure management signaling, enabling scalable serviceability without increasing wiring complexity.

Supermicro designs internal interconnects with an emphasis on data centre maintainability, mechanical fit, and signal integrity across validated server platforms. CBL-0176L-01 aligns with enterprise deployment practices by supporting consistent port labeling, simplified cabling plans, and predictable integration within Supermicro chassis and storage backplanes.

Key Applications:

• MiniSAS HBA to SATA drive connectivity
• 4-port SATA breakout from SFF-8087 backplanes
• Internal storage cabling for rack servers
• Chassis backplane integrations with sideband signaling
