CBL-SAST-1205LP-85 Supermicro 72cm Cable

Enterprise SlimSAS Internal SAS/SATA Interconnect Cabling with the CBL-SAST-1205LP-85 for 8-Lane Backplane Links

The CBL-SAST-1205LP-85 is a Supermicro internal SlimSAS SAS/SATA interconnect cable engineered to preserve signal integrity between HBA/RAID controllers and high-density storage backplanes in modern rack servers. Designed for 8-lane internal connectivity, it supports consistent link behavior across mixed SAS/SATA drive populations and helps maintain predictable storage I/O paths within OEM and enterprise integration builds.

In PCIe-based storage architectures where host controllers feed multi-bay backplanes, cable topology and connector mechanics directly affect serviceability and airflow. The CBL-SAST-1205LP-85 uses low-profile straight SlimSAS x8 connectors to reduce obstruction around PCIe risers and backplane zones, while its standard 0.72 m length enables clean routing in typical chassis layouts. By keeping internal runs controlled and repeatable, the CBL-SAST-1205LP-85 supports reliable lane aggregation for throughput-oriented RAID sets and SAS expanders without introducing unnecessary bend radius stress.

Why Choose the CBL-SAST-1205LP-85?

The CBL-SAST-1205LP-85 is selected when architects need a deterministic, chassis-appropriate internal link for dense storage nodes, balancing cable manageability with enterprise reliability. Its low-profile straight connector approach improves deployment logic in constrained server interiors, enabling scalable backplane-to-controller mappings and simplifying maintenance cycles across standardized fleet builds.

Supermicro designs interconnect components to align with server platform integration requirements, emphasizing fit, repeatable assembly, and dependable operation under continuous data center duty cycles. This approach supports consistent internal connectivity that matches modern rack standards and service workflows.

Key Applications:

• HBA/RAID to storage backplane interconnect
• SAS/SATA JBOD and RAID storage nodes
• High-density rack server backplane cabling
• OEM system integration and staging
