CBL-SAST-1243-100 Supermicro 41.5cm Cable

High-Density Internal Storage Interconnect Cable Assembly with the CBL-SAST-1243-100 for SlimSAS x8 Backplane-to-Controller Routing

The CBL-SAST-1243-100 is a Supermicro internal cable assembly engineered for direct backplane-to-HBA/RAID/controller connectivity using SlimSAS x8 to SlimSAS x8 interfaces, enabling an 8-lane aggregated path for SAS, SATA, or PCIe/NVMe signaling depending on the deployed storage platform. In modern storage nodes, this cabling layer is critical to sustaining predictable link integrity and maintaining consistent lane mapping between controller ports and high-density backplanes.

Designed for chassis-internal routing, the CBL-SAST-1243-100 supports clean integration in dense server and JBOD architectures where PCIe generation capabilities and storage protocol selection are defined by the controller and backplane combination. By preserving an x8 lane width across a single harness, the CBL-SAST-1243-100 helps reduce unnecessary breakout complexity, supporting serviceable cable management and minimizing obstruction to airflow around CPUs, memory banks, and PCIe expansion zones. The 41.5 cm length targets common Supermicro cable paths to keep bend radius and connector seating controlled during assembly and maintenance.

Why Choose the CBL-SAST-1243-100?

The CBL-SAST-1243-100 provides a pragmatic density-to-performance foundation for enterprise storage builds by maintaining full SlimSAS x8 continuity between backplane and controller ports while simplifying routing inside space-constrained chassis. Selecting the CBL-SAST-1243-100 supports reliable scale-out deployments where consistent port topology, repeatable service procedures, and stable direct-attached storage interconnects are required across racks.

Supermicro designs cabling and platform accessories to align with its server and storage chassis standards, prioritizing mechanical fit, predictable integration, and long-term serviceability within data centre operational constraints.

Key Applications:

• Internal backplane-to-HBA cabling
• RAID controller to SAS/SATA backplane interconnect
