CBL-SAST-1253LP-100 Supermicro 53cm Cable

Low-Profile Internal SlimSAS Storage Breakout Cable for Dense Backplane Routing with the CBL-SAST-1253LP-100

The CBL-SAST-1253LP-100 is a Supermicro internal storage/backplane cable assembly engineered to route mixed NVMe, SAS, and SATA connectivity through tight 1U/2U chassis clearances without compromising signal path integrity. It implements an 8-lane interconnect using a SlimSAS x8 (male) host-side connector that breaks out to 2 x SlimSAS x4 (male), enabling clean fan-out from SlimSAS-based HBAs, RAID controllers, or PCIe storage adapters into dual backplane domains.

Designed as a low-profile, straight breakout with a 53 cm run, the CBL-SAST-1253LP-100 supports disciplined cable management for 2.5" bay expanders, JBOD backplanes, and high-density front-drive architectures. By matching the backplane’s lane groupings, it helps preserve predictable lane mapping, simplifies serviceability during node swaps, and reduces the risk of airflow obstruction in compact enclosures. The topology is optimized for storage expansion scenarios where stable interconnect routing and consistent connector engagement are critical to sustained throughput and low maintenance windows.

Why Choose the CBL-SAST-1253LP-100?

The CBL-SAST-1253LP-100 delivers a practical density-to-reliability advantage for enterprise storage platforms by converting a single x8 SlimSAS path into dual x4 segments while keeping a low-profile physical envelope. This supports scalable backplane designs, reduces cable bulk in multi-bay systems, and aligns with deployment patterns that require repeatable, OEM-consistent interconnects for predictable commissioning and troubleshooting.

Supermicro designs cabling and interconnect accessories to integrate tightly with its server and storage ecosystems, emphasizing mechanical fit, stable mating cycles, and alignment with modern data centre serviceability standards for fleet operations.

Key Applications:

• 1U/2U NVMe/SAS/SATA backplane cabling
• 2.5" bay expander and JBOD interconnects
• SlimSAS HBA and RAID controller breakout routing
• High-density storage node field replacement
