CBL-SAST-0929 Supermicro 57cm Cable

High-Density Internal Storage Interconnect Cable for NVMe/SAS/SATA Backplanes with the CBL-SAST-0929

The CBL-SAST-0929 is a Supermicro internal controller-to-backplane interconnect designed to bridge modern OCuLink (SFF-8611) host interfaces to MiniSAS HD (SFF-8643) backplane ports in enterprise server and storage chassis. By mapping 4 lanes in a single compact run, the CBL-SAST-0929 supports clean internal cable topology for dense 2.5-inch hot-swap architectures where signal integrity and deterministic routing are essential for consistent storage behavior.

Built for mixed NVMe, SAS, and SATA backplane designs, the CBL-SAST-0929 enables flexible storage domain configuration without forcing platform changes. The x4 lane width aligns with contemporary PCIe-based NVMe backplane interconnect patterns while remaining suitable for SAS/SATA expander and HBA cabling strategies. With a 0.57 m internal length, the CBL-SAST-0929 helps maintain orderly airflow paths and serviceable cable management in 1U/2U chassis, reducing strain on connectors during maintenance cycles and supporting predictable field replacement procedures.

Why Choose the CBL-SAST-0929?

The CBL-SAST-0929 is optimized for deployments where storage density, serviceability, and standardized cabling matter as much as raw throughput. It provides a direct, standards-based interface transition that simplifies controller and backplane compatibility planning, supports scalable bay expansion, and reduces rework during upgrades or storage reconfiguration in production racks.

Supermicro engineering focuses on practical data center integration: consistent mechanical fit, reliable mating cycles, and alignment with common backplane and controller ecosystems used in enterprise platforms. This approach helps maintain predictable maintenance windows and supports repeatable build standards across server fleets.

Key Applications:

• NVMe backplane interconnect in dense 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
• SAS/SATA HBA to backplane cabling in storage servers
• Controller and backplane standardization for fleet upgrades
• Service replacement for internal storage cabling
