Synology InfiniBand Expansion Cable

Reconnect a Compatible Expansion System The Cable InfiniBand is a genuine Synology replacement expansion cable for selected NAS and expansion-unit combinations. It supports the intended external storage connection for compatible equipment, helping replace a missing or damaged cable with the correct component. Cable InfiniBand SATAx4. Verify both the NAS and expansion-unit pairing before ordering. A matching connector does not make an unsupported expansion shelf compatible with a NAS. Highlights Purpose Genuine Synology external expansion cable. Cable format Cable InfiniBand SATAx4. Compatible units RX1217RP, RX1217, RX1214RP, RX1214. Warranty 1 year. Key Features Compatible Models Synology lists this exact replacement part for the following systems. Match the complete model name and any serial-number or regional requirement before ordering. Expansion Units: RX1217RP, RX1217, RX1214RP, RX1214, RX1211RP, RX1211, DX1215II, DX1215, DX1211. The host NAS must also support the selected expansion unit and connection type. A matching connector alone does not establish a supported NAS-to-expansion pairing. Match Both Ends of the Connection The verified expansion-unit list includes RX1217RP, RX1217, RX1214RP, RX1214. The host NAS must also support the chosen expansion unit. Check the pairing in the NAS and expansion-unit documentation before selecting a cable. Keep the Correct Cable Format Cable InfiniBand SATAx4. Synology uses different expansion interfaces across product families; an InfiniBand-style, Mini-SAS HD or eSATA connection is not automatically interchangeable with another format. Plan the Cable Route Keep the cable route accessible and free of strain, tight bends and trapped sections. Seat and secure each connector according to the equipment guide. The cable should serve the intended storage connection rather than act as a handle or support. Follow the Expansion Procedure Use the exact host and expansion-unit instructions when connecting or replacing an expansion cable. A live storage connection may carry active volumes; do not disconnect it casually while the system is in use. Separate Cable Repair From Data Recovery Replacing a damaged cable can address the physical link when that is the diagnosed fault. It does not guarantee recovery from a failed drive, damaged volume or another storage problem, and it does not replace a current independent backup. Keep the Expansion Pairing Documented Record the host, expansion unit and cable type together. This makes future maintenance clearer and avoids selecting a connector-compatible cable for an unsupported storage pairing. Summary Choose the Cable InfiniBand for its verified Synology compatibility and original replacement purpose. Match the host, fitted component and any revision condition before ordering, then follow the equipment guide for a controlled installation.
