CBL-SAST-0706 Supermicro 11cm Cable

High-Density Internal MiniSAS HD Interconnect for SAS/SATA Backplanes with the CBL-SAST-0706

The CBL-SAST-0706 is an internal MiniSAS HD (SFF-8643 to SFF-8643) cable engineered to preserve 4-lane SAS/SATA signal integrity between a server backplane and the host bus adapter (HBA) or RAID controller. In modern storage architectures, clean point-to-point cabling is essential to sustain controller throughput, reduce retransmissions, and maintain predictable latency under mixed SATA and SAS drive populations.

Designed for dense rack server platforms, the 11 cm form factor of the CBL-SAST-0706 supports short, controlled routing paths that help optimize airflow and serviceability around PCIe expansion areas and storage cages. By providing a direct x4 lane link, the CBL-SAST-0706 aligns with enterprise backplane topologies where multiple MiniSAS HD ports aggregate drive bays, enabling consistent connectivity from controller to target ports without unnecessary adapters or board-to-board conversions.

Why Choose the CBL-SAST-0706?

The CBL-SAST-0706 delivers a practical density-to-reliability advantage for internal SAS/SATA builds by simplifying controller-to-backplane interconnect design and reducing cabling variability across nodes. For scale-out storage and virtualized infrastructure, standardizing on the CBL-SAST-0706 supports repeatable deployments, faster maintenance workflows, and a consistent expansion profile when integrating additional drive backplanes or swapping RAID/HBA cards.

Supermicro designs interconnect accessories to match the mechanical tolerances and platform-level electrical expectations of enterprise server chassis. This engineering approach supports dependable integration with modern data centre standards, where cable fit, retention, and signal behavior are critical to operational stability across large fleets.

Key Applications:

• Internal SAS/SATA backplane to HBA connectivity
• RAID controller to MiniSAS HD backplane cabling
• High-density rack server storage interconnects
• Scale-out storage node standardization
