Kábel Silverstone CPS04 0,5 m

The Silverstone CPS04 0.5 m cable is a mini SAS HD internal cable with SFF-8643 connectors on both ends designed for high-performance storage connectivity. Compliant with the SAS 3.0 generation, it supports data transfer rates up to 12 Gb/s across four lanes and includes an internal sideband connection for reliable operation in server and workstation environments. The cable is 0.5 m long and finished in black, with 36-pin SFF-8643 connectors constructed from industrial-grade materials to provide robust mechanical and electrical connections.

Advantages

The CPS04 provides four-lane bandwidth suitable for high-throughput SAS and SATA storage devices while maintaining a compact, 0.5 m form factor for tidy internal routing. Industrial-grade connectors and a design intended for continuous operation increase durability and connection stability in demanding server and workstation applications. Native support for SAS 3.0 signaling ensures compatibility with modern controllers and drives requiring 12 Gb/s performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting SAS or SATA storage devices to server backplanes or host controllers
• Internal cabling inside rack servers, tower workstations, and storage arrays
• Short-reach connections where a 0.5 m cable length reduces clutter and signal loss
• Environments requiring continuous, reliable data transfer such as NAS and RAID systems

How to use

Install the Silverstone CPS04 by aligning each SFF-8643 connector with the corresponding port on the host controller, backplane or storage device and gently insert until the connector seats securely. Route the 0.5 m cable within the chassis to avoid sharp bends and to maintain airflow. Ensure both ends are fully engaged and, if present, secure any latches or retention mechanisms on the connectors. Power down equipment before connecting or disconnecting cables when required by your system maintenance procedures.

Recommendations

For best results, use this cable for internal, short-reach connections inside servers or workstations where SAS 3.0 performance is required. Avoid excessive bending or pinching of the cable, and verify compatibility with your controller and drive firmware to ensure stable 12 Gb/s operation. Inspect connectors for dust or damage before installation and use proper ESD precautions when working inside systems.
