CBL-SAST-1265F-100 Supermicro 64cm Cable

Enterprise Internal SlimSAS Breakout Cable Assembly for High-Density Storage Backplanes with CBL-SAST-1265F-100

CBL-SAST-1265F-100 is a Supermicro internal storage/backplane cable assembly designed to preserve signal integrity across an 8-lane SlimSAS host-to-backplane interconnect in dense rack server architectures. It enables clean lane mapping from a controller or HBA to a backplane or expander, supporting NVMe, SAS, and SATA drive domains where predictable link behavior and serviceability are critical.

Optimised for modern PCIe-based NVMe storage paths as well as SAS/SATA fabrics, CBL-SAST-1265F-100 provides a 1x SlimSAS x8 to dual SlimSAS x4 topology to align with common backplane port layouts. The 8 total lanes allow balanced connectivity for dual-port routing, wide-port aggregation, or segmented drive groups, reducing the need for adapters that can complicate airflow and cable management. With a 64cm length, CBL-SAST-1265F-100 supports standard 1U/2U chassis routing while maintaining controlled internal run lengths for stable high-speed signalling.

Why Choose the CBL-SAST-1265F-100?

CBL-SAST-1265F-100 is a pragmatic choice when you need deterministic internal storage wiring that scales with backplane density without sacrificing maintainability. It supports straightforward expansion planning by matching SlimSAS port conventions, helping standardise builds across nodes and lowering operational risk during upgrades, drive migrations, and service interventions.

Supermicro engineers cabling and interconnect accessories to integrate cleanly with platform-qualified backplanes, controllers, and chassis routing paths. This approach prioritises enterprise reliability, consistent fitment, and alignment with contemporary data centre requirements for repeatable assembly, controlled thermals, and predictable lifecycle support.

Key Applications:

• NVMe backplane host-to-expander connectivity
• SAS/SATA HBA to backplane wide-port cabling
• High-density 1U/2U storage server internal wiring
• Serviceable cable management for modular drive bays
