CBL-0352L-LP Supermicro 85cm Cable

Low-Profile MiniSAS Cable Assembly enabling internal-to-external SAS/SATA expansion with the CBL-0352L-LP

The CBL-0352L-LP is a Supermicro low-profile MiniSAS cable assembly designed to bridge internal storage headers to external MiniSAS connectivity, enabling clean chassis-to-backplane or internal-to-external SAS/SATA cabling in dense rack environments. For system engineers standardising serviceable storage paths, CBL-0352L-LP provides a predictable interconnect between an internal SFF-8087 host-side header and an external SFF-8088 port.

Using a 4-lane MiniSAS (x4) link, the CBL-0352L-LP supports common SAS/SATA storage topologies where RAID/HBA controllers, expanders, and backplanes require reliable lane continuity for multi-drive enclosures. The 0.85 m length is engineered to balance signal integrity and routing flexibility, while the low-profile form factor reduces mechanical interference in constrained chassis clearances and around risers, fan walls, or cable management channels. In practice, CBL-0352L-LP simplifies maintenance by aligning internal cabling standards with external service access, supporting modular storage expansion without redesigning the internal harness.

Why Choose the CBL-0352L-LP?

CBL-0352L-LP is selected for deployments that need consistent MiniSAS porting from internal headers to an external interface while maintaining cable discipline in high-density systems. It helps preserve airflow paths, reduces strain at connector transitions, and supports scalable storage service models where controllers and chassis can be cabled to external JBOD or test equipment with minimal downtime.

Supermicro designs storage interconnects with a focus on platform-fit, repeatable assembly tolerances, and predictable integration across server and backplane ecosystems. This approach supports enterprise reliability expectations, serviceability, and alignment with modern data centre standardisation practices for SAS/SATA infrastructure.

Key Applications:

• Internal-to-external SAS/SATA breakout for service access
• Chassis-to-backplane MiniSAS connectivity standardisation
• RAID/HBA to external port enablement
• Storage expansion and JBOD integration
