CBL-SAST-1275A-100 Supermicro 90cm Cable

Enterprise Internal SlimSAS-to-SATA Breakout Cable for SATA Storage Integration with the CBL-SAST-1275A-100

The CBL-SAST-1275A-100 is a Supermicro internal storage breakout cable engineered to route SlimSAS x8 HBA/RAID connectivity to SATA drive targets with predictable signal continuity inside dense server and storage chassis. It presents a 1x SlimSAS x8 (male) interface breaking out to 4x SATA (male), enabling a clean transition from modern SlimSAS host ports to legacy or cost-optimized SATA backplanes and direct SATA devices.

In architectures where PCIe-attached HBAs or RAID controllers expose SlimSAS x8 ports for high-density cabling, the CBL-SAST-1275A-100 supports 4-lane mapping to carry up to 4 independent SATA links, aligning host-side lane resources with common 4-drive segments on backplanes. With an overall 0.9 m run and staggered leg lengths (75/75/90 cm), the CBL-SAST-1275A-100 helps maintain controlled routing for airflow, serviceability, and fault isolation during platform refresh cycles or field replacement. This cable is optimized for internal SATA storage paths where stable mechanical fit and consistent pinout are critical to avoiding intermittent link drops under vibration and thermal cycling.

Why Choose the CBL-SAST-1275A-100?

The CBL-SAST-1275A-100 provides a straightforward density-to-connectivity advantage by converting a single SlimSAS x8 host port into four SATA device connections without introducing active components. This supports scalable storage expansion, simplifies sparing, and keeps maintenance workflows consistent across identical chassis builds in enterprise racks.

Supermicro designs cabling accessories to match server mechanical envelopes and internal harness requirements, focusing on repeatable assembly, connector retention, and long-term reliability under datacenter operating conditions and standard service procedures.

Key Applications:

• SATA drive backplane connectivity from SlimSAS HBAs
• Internal RAID/HBA to SATA device cabling
• Server and storage chassis service spares
• Standardized rack-scale storage node builds
