Slimline x8 NVMe Cable Supermicro CBL-SAST-1267-85 — 67 cm, 85 Ω, RoHS

Slimline x8 NVMe cable Supermicro CBL-SAST-1267-85 — 67 cm, 85 Ω, RoHS is an internal connection cable engineered for HVMe SlimSAS environments. The cable provides an x8 lane configuration with controlled 85 Ω impedance over a compact 67 cm length, intended to preserve signal integrity between NVMe drives and compatible backplanes or controllers in server and storage systems.

Advantages

This Slimline x8 NVMe cable offers a balance of short physical length and maintained electrical characteristics to reduce signal loss and crosstalk in dense chassis. The 85 Ω impedance control helps ensure consistent high-speed data transfer, while RoHS compliance confirms that the cable meets standard environmental and safety requirements. Its internal slimline form factor is designed for tight routing inside rackmount servers and storage enclosures.

Suitable for

• Connecting NVMe drives to SlimSAS-compatible backplanes or controllers inside servers
• High-density storage enclosures where compact cable routing is required
• Server and enterprise storage rebuilds, upgrades, or replacements with x8 lane NVMe configurations

Key specifications

• Cable type: Slimline internal NVMe / SlimSAS x8
• Lane configuration: x8
• Impedance: 85 Ω (controlled impedance)
• Length: 67 cm
• Compliance: RoHS
• Application environment: internal server and storage systems

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the connectors with the corresponding SlimSAS/NVMe headers on the drive assembly and backplane or controller, ensuring a secure, fully seated connection. Route the cable within the chassis to avoid sharp bends and proximity to high-power components that may introduce electromagnetic interference. During installation, power down the system and follow the server manufacturer's guidelines for hot-swap or static-sensitive components when applicable.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, keep cable runs as short as practical, avoid tight bends with radii smaller than the cable’s recommended limits, and maintain clearance from sources of electrical noise. Verify compatibility with your backplane or controller before installation and follow ESD precautions. Periodically inspect connections for secure seating in environments with vibration or frequent maintenance.
