MiniSAS cable CBO 10117949-2010HLF, 1 m length

MiniSAS cable CBO 10117949-2010HLF, 1 m length by BlueOptics is a compact high-speed connection cable for serial attached SCSI (SAS) environments. Designed to link compatible storage controllers, host bus adapters and SAS-capable devices, this 1 metre cable provides a reliable short-reach connection suitable for internal and certain external rack and server layouts. The cable supports the physical connectivity needs of RAID arrays, direct-attached storage and multi-drive enclosures where a one-metre reach is required.

Advantages

The cable offers stable signal transmission with shielding and connector construction intended to minimise crosstalk and interference in dense server racks. Its 1 m length reduces excess cable slack for improved airflow and easier cable routing. The compact MiniSAS connector design supports high pin density while maintaining a secure mechanical connection, and the BlueOptics build complies with industry form-factor expectations for SAS interconnects.

Suitable for

• Connecting SAS host bus adapters to RAID controllers within servers and storage enclosures
• Short-reach links in rack-mounted systems where 1 m length is optimal
• Direct-attached storage (DAS) connections between enclosures and controllers
• Testing and temporary connections in server maintenance and deployment

Key specifications

• Connector type: MiniSAS (high-density SAS connector compatible with standard SAS ports)
• Length: 1 metre
• Application: Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) high-speed data interconnect
• Cable use: Short-reach internal or externally routed rack/server cabling
• Construction: Shielded assembly designed to reduce electromagnetic interference

How to use

Identify the SAS-capable ports on your storage controller and target device before connecting. Align the MiniSAS connector with the port and insert firmly until the connector seats; avoid excessive force and ensure connectors and ports are free from debris. Route the cable to minimise bends and strain, keep it away from heat sources and sharp edges, and secure it with cable ties or routing clips as needed. After installation, verify link status in the host controller or RAID management utility to confirm proper detection.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m MiniSAS cable for short, direct connections inside server racks and storage enclosures to reduce cable clutter and improve airflow. For longer runs or different port types, choose an appropriate cable length or interface adapter. Handle connectors carefully and avoid repeated insertion cycles beyond normal use to preserve contact integrity.
