Supermicro - CBL-SAST-1262LP-85 SlimlineLP x8 (STR) to SlimlineLP x8 (STR)

Internal SAS data cable engineered for high-density server and storage environments, delivering up to 24 Gbps per lane across eight lanes for a total bandwidth of 192 Gbps. The Supermicro CBL-SAST-1262LP-85 connects SlimSAS (SFF-8654) x8 host adapters to SlimSAS x8 backplanes with straight connectors on both ends, ensuring a secure, low-profile fit in tight chassis spaces.

Advantages

This cable leverages the SFF-8654 SlimSAS standard to provide a compact, reliable interconnect for SAS-4 and PCIe Gen4 storage systems. Its 85 cm length offers flexibility in cable routing without excessive slack, while the straight connector orientation simplifies installation in 1U and 2U servers. The copper conductors are shielded to maintain signal integrity, and the black jacket blends seamlessly into most server interiors. RoHS compliance ensures environmental safety.
