CBL-SAST-1234-100 Supermicro 50cm Cable

Enterprise SlimSAS-to-SATA Breakout Storage Cable Assembly with the CBL-SAST-1234-100

The CBL-SAST-1234-100 is a Supermicro internal storage cable assembly designed to fan out a SlimSAS x4 host interface into 4 SATA endpoints, enabling clean SATA connectivity from SlimSAS-enabled HBA/RAID controllers to backplanes or direct-drive bays. In modern server platforms where PCIe expansion is often allocated to storage controllers and NVMe tiers, the CBL-SAST-1234-100 supports a balanced architecture by keeping high-density cabling controlled and predictable for SATA capacity layers.

With a 0.5 m routing length, the CBL-SAST-1234-100 is suited to short, internal chassis runs where signal integrity and serviceability matter, such as 1U/2U storage nodes and GPU servers that still require SATA boot or bulk HDD pools. The SlimSAS connector consolidates lanes at the controller side, while the SATA fan-out simplifies mapping to backplane ports and drive cages. Sideband-capable wiring in the CBL-SAST-1234-100 helps maintain enclosure and drive management signaling paths that are critical for enterprise monitoring and fault isolation in dense deployments.

Why Choose the CBL-SAST-1234-100?

The CBL-SAST-1234-100 provides a practical density-to-serviceability advantage for systems engineers standardizing internal cabling across mixed storage tiers. By using the CBL-SAST-1234-100 for SlimSAS-to-SATA breakouts, data centre teams can streamline assembly, reduce routing complexity, and maintain consistent port topology from controller to backplane, supporting reliable scaling of SATA capacity without reworking the host interface strategy.

Supermicro designs cabling and interconnect components to align with enterprise chassis layouts and validated platform configurations, emphasizing predictable mechanical fit, stable signal paths, and compatibility with modern data centre maintenance practices.

Key Applications:

• Internal SATA fan-out from SlimSAS x4 host ports
• SATA backplane connectivity from SlimSAS HBAs/RAID controllers
• SATA boot drive cabling in compute and GPU servers
• Enclosure sideband management signaling paths
