Three-cable SATA III kit

This pack contains three straight-to-straight SATA III data cables, each 18 inches long with a clear jacket. Locking latches on both ends secure the connection to motherboards, host controllers, hard drives or DVD drives. The cables are UL listed and RoHS compliant.

Replaces worn or short SATA leads

Swapping out damaged, loose or too-short cables restores reliable 6 Gbps transfer rates limited only by the attached devices. The 18-inch length suits typical mid-tower layouts where drives sit close to the motherboard. Backward compatibility with SATA I and II means the same cables work in older systems without reconfiguration.

Suits builders adding multiple drives

The three-pack covers RAID arrays, multi-drive storage upgrades or spare cables for future installs. Buyers who need right-angle connectors for tight clearance, longer runs for full-tower cases or combined power-and-data cables should look at something else. This product carries only data; a separate power connection is required for each drive.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the 18-inch clear SATA III cable need around the locking latch?

Each end has a straight 180-degree connector with a locking latch; allow a few millimetres beyond the 18-inch cable run so the latch can engage without pressing against other components.

How do I seat the locking latch correctly on the motherboard and drive ports?

Align the straight SATA connector, push straight in until the metal latch clicks into the port notch — do not angle the plug or the latch will not lock.

When should I replace one of the three clear SATA III cables in the pack?

Replace a cable if the locking latch no longer clicks, the connector pins are bent, or intermittent drive errors appear after ruling out the drive and port.
