CBL-SAST-1046 Supermicro 39cm Cable

Internal SlimSAS-to-SlimSAS Storage Interconnect Cable for SAS/PCIe Backplanes with the CBL-SAST-1046

The CBL-SAST-1046 is a Supermicro internal SlimSAS-to-SlimSAS cable engineered for deterministic storage-plane connectivity between a server backplane and an HBA, RAID controller, or PCIe storage controller within rack server and storage chassis builds. With a 39 cm reach, the CBL-SAST-1046 supports clean, serviceable routing in dense enclosures where signal integrity and controlled bend radius are critical to maintaining stable links.

Designed for SlimSAS-based ecosystems, the CBL-SAST-1046 aligns with modern backplanes that can expose SAS/SATA lanes and, where the platform supports it, PCIe pathways for NVMe-capable designs. This makes the CBL-SAST-1046 a practical component when architecting mixed-drive bays or modular storage tiers, ensuring the internal interconnect does not become a constraint on controller-to-backplane bandwidth planning. Because protocol behavior is platform-dependent, controller and backplane pinout alignment should be validated when deploying the CBL-SAST-1046 in SAS or PCIe-oriented configurations.

Why Choose the CBL-SAST-1046?

The CBL-SAST-1046 provides a controlled internal interconnect path that supports higher density-to-performance designs by enabling direct, short-run cabling from backplane to controller without external cabling overhead. In enterprise deployments, it simplifies standardized server builds, supports repeatable service procedures, and scales across chassis families that use SlimSAS internal wiring conventions.

Supermicro designs storage interconnect components to integrate cleanly with its server platforms, emphasizing mechanical fit, predictable assembly, and operational reliability aligned with data centre serviceability and lifecycle management expectations.

Key Applications:

• Rack server backplane-to-HBA cabling
• Internal SAS/SATA storage connectivity
• NVMe-capable backplane interconnects (platform-dependent)
• RAID controller to storage backplane integration
