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.
