SAS Cable Intel CYPCBLHDHDXXX1

The Intel CYPCBLHDHDXXX1 is a set of Mini SAS HD cables designed for 1U and 2U server systems to support SAS/SATA drives in front drive bays. The kit includes three lengths of black Mini SAS HD-to-Mini SAS HD cables for connecting an add-in card or server board Mini SAS HD connector to a hot-swap backplane (HSBP) Mini SAS HD connector, enabling reliable high-speed data transfer between controllers and drive bays.

Advantages

These Mini SAS HD cables provide a direct, compact connection between controller (RA) and backplane (VT) Mini SAS HD ports, reducing cable clutter in rack-mounted 1U and 2U systems. The three included cable lengths (640 mm, 810 mm and 930 mm) offer installation flexibility for different server layouts. The cables use industry-standard Mini SAS HD connectors compatible with SAS and SATA drives and are suitable for enterprise storage and server environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting add-in RAID controllers to hot-swap backplanes in 1U and 2U servers
• Linking server board Mini SAS HD ports to front drive bays
• Enterprise storage setups requiring SAS/SATA drive support

How to use

Identify the Mini SAS HD connector on the add-in RAID card or server board (RA) and the Mini SAS HD connector on the hot-swap backplane (VT). Choose the cable length that best fits the internal routing of the 1U or 2U chassis. Align the Mini SAS HD connector and insert it firmly until it seats; no special tools are required. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and to maintain airflow within the server chassis. Secure cables as needed with ties or clips to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable lengths provided to minimize excess slack, avoid tight bends that can damage the internal conductors, and connect only when the server is powered down or following hot-swap procedures specified by your hardware vendor. Verify compatibility with your controller and backplane Mini SAS HD pinouts before installation.
