CBL-SAST-1034 Supermicro 62cm Cable

Enterprise Storage Interconnect Cable for U.2 Backplane Integration with the CBL-SAST-1034

CBL-SAST-1034 is a Supermicro internal storage interconnect designed to bridge SATA host connectivity to a U.2 (SFF-8639) drive interface in supported server backplanes and chassis. In mixed-storage environments where platform controllers expose SATA ports but the mechanical bay is provisioned for U.2 carriers, CBL-SAST-1034 enables a clean, serviceable mapping without reworking the backplane or changing the core server platform.

The CBL-SAST-1034 topology terminates in 1x U.2 (SFF-8639) male to 2x SATA male, providing 2-lane signal routing optimized for short-reach internal paths. This design supports predictable cable management within dense rack servers while maintaining connector integrity under vibration and repeated maintenance cycles. At 62cm, CBL-SAST-1034 aligns to common Supermicro chassis routing channels, reducing strain on headers and minimizing airflow disruption around storage zones and PCIe expansion areas where thermal headroom is tightly managed.

Why Choose the CBL-SAST-1034?

CBL-SAST-1034 provides a pragmatic integration path for U.2 bay utilization when a system build standardizes on SATA cabling at the controller level. By using CBL-SAST-1034 for chassis conversions or as a qualified spare, engineering teams can preserve deployment consistency, streamline service procedures, and maintain predictable storage connectivity across scalable rack deployments.

Supermicro designs server interconnect assemblies to match enterprise chassis mechanical constraints and data centre service models, emphasizing repeatable routing, reliable mating cycles, and compatibility with current backplane standards. Compliance with RoHS and REACH supports procurement alignment with regulated environments and sustainability requirements.

Key Applications:

• U.2 backplane SATA drive integration
• Chassis storage bay conversions
• Field replacement and service spares
