  • Cisco UCS C220 M5 internal SAS RAID controller cable

    Cisco UCS C220 M5 internal SAS RAID controller cable

    This is the SAS storage cable found in the Cisco UCS C220 M5 server. It is attached to the backplane and then routes along the right side of the server where it terminates at a RAID controller located in the mRAID riser.

    Notes:

    • Genuine Cisco OEM internal SAS cable assembly.
    • Used in the Cisco UCS C220 M5 Rack Server storage subsystem.
    • Provides the connection between the RAID controller (such as Cisco modular RAID controller / mRAID configurations or supported PCIe RAID adapters) and the internal SAS/SATA drive backplane.
    • Cable assembly uses Mini-SAS HD connectors for high-density SAS connectivity.
    • Supports SAS/SATA drive communication for internal storage configurations.
    • Designed with Cisco-specific cable length and routing to fit the C220 M5 chassis airflow layout.
    • Required for configurations using hardware RAID controllers and SAS backplanes.
    • Proper cable routing is important to avoid interference with fans and airflow paths in the 1U chassis.
    • OEM cable ensures correct connector keying, impedance, and signal integrity.
    • Commonly missing from refurbished or decommissioned servers when RAID components are removed.
    • Cable only; does not include RAID controller, riser, backplane, or drive cage unless otherwise specified.
  • Supermicro CBL-SAST-0593

    Supermicro CBL-SAST-0593

    This is a Mini SAS HD storage cable pulled from a Supermicro SYS-2029U-E1CRT server. 

    Notes:

    • Straight-through Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8643) to Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8643) cable.
    • Supports up to 4 SAS/SATA lanes per connector.
    • Commonly paired with Supermicro 12Gb/s SAS backplanes.
    • A single cable can connect up to 4 drives when used with a standard SAS backplane connection.
    • Designed specifically for internal server storage applications.
    • Not compatible with older Mini-SAS (SFF-8087) connectors without an adapter cable.
    • Supermicro also offers similar cables in different lengths, such as the CBL-SAST-0531 (80cm).
  • Supermicro CBL-SAST-0972 NVME Cables

    Supermicro CBL-SAST-0972 NVME Cables

    This is a set of OCuLink cables pulled from a Supermicro SYS-2029U-E1CRT server. They connect to the backplane with a Mini SAS HD connector and then to the motherboard with OCuLink. They provide a direct connection to the PCIe system for NVME drives.

    Notes:

    • Connects an OCuLink (SFF-8611) host port to a MiniSAS HD (SFF-8643) NVMe backplane.
    • Designed for PCIe x4 (NVMe) storage connectivity.
    • Supports connection to up to four NVMe SSDs through a compatible NVMe backplane.
    • Not compatible with SAS or SATA devices. Although it uses an SFF-8643 connector, it carries PCIe/NVMe signals only.
    • Not interchangeable with standard MiniSAS HD SAS/SATA cables.
    • Passive cable with no signal conversion; both the motherboard/controller and backplane must support the same NVMe interface.
    • Commonly used in Supermicro servers equipped with OCuLink-enabled motherboards and NVMe backplanes.
    • Validated by Supermicro for systems including SYS-4029GP-TRT, SYS-4029GP-TRT2, and SYS-4029GP-TRT3.
  • HP G10 10 Bay NVME Cable Port 1 869681-001

    HP G10 10 Bay NVME Cable Port 1 869681-001

    This is the first set of NVME cables for the HP DL 360 G10 10 Bay NVME backplane. It connects from the backplane and routes to the rear of the server to the following NVME riser. 

    Notes

    • Category: Storage Cable
    • Type: Internal NVMe data cable
    • Interface: PCIe NVMe
    • Port Assignment: NVMe Port 1
    • Used with:
    • Required for NVMe functionality in the DL360 Gen10 10SFF Premium storage configuration.
    • Not required for SAS/SATA-only configurations.
  • HP DL 360 10 Bay G10 NVME Cable Port 3/4/5 869676-001

    HP DL 360 10 Bay G10 NVME Cable Port 3/4/5 869676-001

    NVME cable that connects from ports 3/4/5 on the NVME backplane to the NVME riser on the HP DL 360 G10 10 Bay server.

    Notes:

    • Type: Internal NVMe data cable (not power).
    • Connects NVMe backplane ports 3, 4, and 5 to the corresponding NVMe riser connections.
    • Used with:
    • Required for NVMe drive support; not needed for SAS/SATA-only configurations.
    • Part of the DL360 Gen10 10SFF NVMe enablement cable set.
    • Cable routing depends on the installed riser/backplane configuration.
