CBL-0278L-01 Supermicro 64cm Cable

Internal Storage Breakout Cable for MiniSAS-to-SATA Backplane Connectivity with the CBL-0278L-01

The CBL-0278L-01 is a Supermicro MiniSAS (SFF-8087) to SATA male breakout cable engineered for internal server storage interconnects where a 4-lane SAS/SATA host, HBA, or RAID controller must be fanned out to individual SATA device ports with predictable signal integrity. In dense rack platforms, the CBL-0278L-01 supports clean routing between a chassis backplane and drive bays, reducing cabling ambiguity during service and minimizing airflow disruption around critical CPU and GPU thermal zones.

Designed for PCIe-attached storage controllers and modern backplane topologies, the CBL-0278L-01 provides a structured lane-to-device mapping that aligns with enterprise expansion planning, including multi-controller designs and mixed SATA/SAS environments. Sideband support enables management signaling where required by the platform, while the right-angled connector option helps meet clearance constraints in 1U/2U chassis builds, improving mechanical fit and lowering strain on connectors during maintenance cycles.

Why Choose the CBL-0278L-01?

The CBL-0278L-01 delivers a practical density-to-serviceability advantage for storage-heavy nodes by consolidating four device channels into a single MiniSAS host interface while preserving a deterministic internal cabling layout. For IT teams standardizing builds across clusters, the CBL-0278L-01 supports repeatable deployment, faster fault isolation, and stable interconnect behavior under continuous I/O, helping maintain uptime in scale-out storage, virtualization, and backup tiers.

Supermicro engineers its interconnect ecosystem to match server board and chassis tolerances, prioritizing mechanical reliability, consistent pinout alignment, and compatibility with data centre maintenance workflows. The result is an infrastructure-grade cable design aligned with current platform integration standards and long lifecycle operation.

Key Applications:

• Internal SAS/SATA backplane-to-drive connectivity
• HBA/RAID controller to SATA device fan-out
• High-density 1U/2U chassis storage cabling
• Virtualization host storage expansion
• Backup and archive storage nodes
