CBL-SAST-0953 Supermicro 55cm Cable

High-Density NVMe Storage Interconnect Cable for SlimSAS Breakout with the CBL-SAST-0953

The CBL-SAST-0953 is an internal server storage interconnect designed to route PCIe/NVMe connectivity from a SlimSAS x8 interface to dual U.2 (SFF-8639) drive ports within supported Supermicro platforms. By preserving an 8-lane topology across a compact assembly, the CBL-SAST-0953 supports clean host-to-backplane or backplane-to-drive wiring where signal integrity, serviceability, and predictable lane mapping are required.

Architecturally, the SlimSAS x8 to dual U.2 breakout enables two U.2 NVMe endpoints to be cabled from a single high-density connector, aligning with modern server designs that consolidate PCIe lanes and simplify internal expansion planning. The 55 cm length of the CBL-SAST-0953 is optimized for standard chassis routing paths, helping reduce bend stress and improving airflow management compared with improvised cabling. For storage-focused nodes, the CBL-SAST-0953 supports scalable NVMe drive population strategies without consuming additional add-in card real estate, enabling consistent PCIe lane allocation across compute and storage configurations.

Why Choose the CBL-SAST-0953?

The CBL-SAST-0953 is engineered for enterprise density-to-performance requirements where internal NVMe connectivity must remain deterministic across builds. It supports repeatable deployment in multi-node rollouts, minimizes rework during service events, and aligns with structured PCIe/NVMe cabling practices for reliable expansion as drive counts increase.

Supermicro designs interconnect components to match platform mechanical tolerances and data centre operational expectations, emphasizing stable high-speed signaling, predictable connector fit, and long-term availability for lifecycle-managed infrastructures.

Key Applications:

• Internal U.2 NVMe drive connectivity
• SlimSAS x8 to dual U.2 breakout cabling
• NVMe backplane interconnects in rack servers
• PCIe lane routing for storage-dense nodes
