Cisco SAS Cable (R200-SASCBL)

[cisco]

I quite urgently need the following cable -> Cisco R200-SASCBL-001=

Unfortunately I cannot find a reseller in Germany who has this cable on stock

The estimated shipping time is more than three weeks - that's too late

Now I am looking for a cable that has the same specifications from a third party vendor.

My question:

What are the specifications of the original Cisco cable?

I know, that is has a SFF-8087 connector which connects to the LSI MegaRAID 9260-4i (in a Cisco C200 M2 rackserver).

More specific, here are the questions, that I cannot answer at the moment:

- What connectors do I need on the other end of the cable?

- Do I need a crossover cable?

- What is the length of the cable?

Kind regards,

Volker Kurth

Hello Volker,

Did you receive the cable along with the shipment of the server ?

Please check with your Cisco Accounts team on alternate options to ship the cable.

Also, using third party cables is not supported but it might work.

No, I don't have a cable!

And it's hard to get the original cable in time

That's the reason, why I am asking for the specs, so that I can look for 3rd party cables!

Kind regards,
