What it is

A three-pack of straight SATA III data cables with locking latches, each 6 inch long and coloured UV Red. They connect motherboards or host controllers to internal Serial ATA hard drives and DVD drives for expanded storage. The cables carry data only and do not supply power to the attached drive.

Sustained transfer behaviour

Revision 3.0 supports up to 6 Gbps, twice the bandwidth of the previous revision, and remains backwards compatible with earlier SATA versions. Actual throughput is limited by the rating of the connected equipment, so sustained speeds will match the slowest device in the chain. The locking latch on each end keeps the connection secure during continuous operation.

Deciding specification

Each cable measures 6 inch (15 cm) from connector to connector with a 180-degree straight orientation on both ends. This fixed length suits tight internal routing but cannot reach drives mounted farther from the motherboard. Buyers needing longer runs or right-angle connectors should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does the 6-inch SATA III cable generate any heat or noise during continuous operation?

The passive 15 cm data cable carries only signalling traffic, so it produces no audible noise and negligible heat even when the link runs at 6 Gbps all day.

What must I already have inside the case for these straight-to-straight cables to work?

You need a motherboard or host controller with a standard SATA port and a drive that also presents a standard SATA connector; the cables do not supply power, so a separate SATA power lead from the PSU is required for each drive.

Will the UV-red locking-latch cables work reliably with an older SATA I or SATA II drive I want to keep?

Yes — the SATA 3.0 interface is backwards compatible, so the 180-degree straight connectors will link at the drive’s native 1.5 or 3 Gbps rate without any configuration.
