SAS Cable Intel CYPCBLSLMIDPIN 0.16 m SlimSAS

The Intel CYPCBLSLMIDPIN is a 0.16 m SlimSAS (SFF-8643 / SlimSAS) SAS cable designed to connect high-density 2.5" drive bays and controllers in server systems. It is intended for 2U 2.5" enclosures housing more than 16 PCIe NVMe drives in the front bay, providing a compact, cable-managed link for high-speed storage environments.

Advantages

This SlimSAS cable offers a short, robust connection that reduces internal cable clutter while maintaining reliable high-speed SAS connectivity. The 0.16 m length helps with neat routing in compact 2U chassis and minimizes signal loss. Manufactured by Intel, the CYPCBLSLMIDPIN is compatible with standard SlimSAS connectors and is suitable for enterprise storage deployments requiring dense NVMe drive arrangements.

Suitable for

• 2U server enclosures with 2.5" drive bays
• Systems with more than 16 PCIe NVMe drives in the front bay
• Connections between SlimSAS-compatible controllers and drive backplanes

How to use

Connect one SlimSAS (SFF-8643) end of the cable to the controller or host adapter and the other end to the drive backplane or SlimSAS connector on the enclosure. Ensure both connectors are fully seated and secured according to the server manufacturer's instructions. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and interference with cooling airflow inside the 2U chassis.

Recommendations

Use this 0.16 m SlimSAS cable for short, internal connections within 2U 2.5" servers where compact routing and minimal signal path length are required. Verify connector compatibility (SlimSAS/SFF-8643) with your controller and backplane before installation.
