CBL-0351L-LP Supermicro 85cm Cable

Low-Profile SAS Wide-Port Pass-Through Cable Assembly for storage expansion with the CBL-0351L-LP

The CBL-0351L-LP is a Supermicro internal-to-external MiniSAS cable assembly engineered to route a 4-lane SAS wide-port from an internal host or backplane header to an external chassis-facing SAS connection. In dense rack servers where storage traffic must be cleanly transitioned across the chassis boundary, the CBL-0351L-LP provides a controlled pass-through path that maintains consistent link integrity and simplifies service operations.

Designed for MiniSAS SFF-8087 (internal) to MiniSAS SFF-8088 (external) connectivity, the CBL-0351L-LP supports host-to-expander/backplane topologies as well as internal-to-external SAS port routing for JBOD attachment. The 85 cm reach enables practical cable dressing from controller/HBA locations to a low-profile bracket, keeping airflow paths clear and reducing strain at the connector interface. This integration approach is well aligned with SAS/SATA backplane cabling strategies where predictable lane mapping and straightforward port exposure are critical for capacity scaling and fault isolation.

Why Choose the CBL-0351L-LP?

The CBL-0351L-LP delivers a compact, low-profile external port implementation that preserves slot and chassis compatibility while enabling scalable storage attachment. By standardising the transition from internal MiniSAS to an external wide-port, the CBL-0351L-LP supports repeatable deployments, faster field replacement, and clean expansion planning across server and storage nodes.

Supermicro engineers cable assemblies such as the CBL-0351L-LP for platform-level fit and predictable integration with enterprise server and storage designs. This focus on mechanical compatibility and serviceability aligns with modern data centre requirements for maintainable cabling, consistent parts sourcing, and reduced operational risk during upgrades or repairs.

Key Applications:

• Internal-to-external SAS pass-through port routing
• External JBOD connectivity from SAS HBA/RAID controllers
• SAS/SATA backplane and expander interconnects
• Spare and service replacement for Supermicro platforms
