CBO MiniSAS Cable 2 m — compatible with Lenovo (model 00MJ178)

The CBO MiniSAS Cable 2 m is a 2-meter MiniSAS connection cable compatible with Lenovo systems, designed to link MiniSAS-capable storage devices and host controllers. Intended for use in server and storage environments, the cable provides a fixed-length connection suitable for internal chassis routing or short-distance external links between enclosures and controllers. The cable supports standard MiniSAS physical interfaces and is intended for reliable data transfer where a compact, sturdy SAS connection is required.

Advantages

This 2 m MiniSAS cable offers a straightforward, space-efficient connection for systems using MiniSAS ports. Its fixed length simplifies cable management inside server racks and storage enclosures, reducing excess slack and improving airflow. The cable is constructed to maintain signal integrity for SAS traffic over a short to medium reach and to be compatible with Lenovo equipment that accepts MiniSAS interfaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting internal storage backplanes to host controllers in servers
• Linking external storage enclosures to SAS controllers at short distances
• Upgrades or replacements of MiniSAS patch connections within racks
• Data centre and networked storage applications requiring SAS connectivity

Key specifications

• Cable type: MiniSAS (SAS-compatible multi-lane connector)
• Length: 2 meters fixed
• Orientation: designed for internal or short external routing
• Use case: supports SAS/SATA device connectivity via MiniSAS interface
• Construction: shielded multi-conductor assembly for signal integrity

How to use

Identify the MiniSAS ports on the host controller and the target storage device or backplane, confirm orientation of the connector, and insert the cable end firmly until the connector seats. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and ensure it does not obstruct fans or airflow paths. For external short connections, verify that any enclosure panels or brackets allow secure cable routing. Power down equipment if required by the server or storage vendor before connecting or disconnecting to prevent interruption of active data traffic.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short to medium reach connections within rack or enclosure environments where a 2 m MiniSAS link is appropriate. Avoid tight bends and prolonged tension on the cable; maintain bend radii recommended for SAS cabling and secure the cable with appropriate ties without crushing the jacket. Verify compatibility with the specific Lenovo system model and the SAS controller firmware to ensure full functionality.
