SATA III cable for tight builds

This 18-inch SATA 3.0 cable links a motherboard or host controller to an internal hard drive, SSD or optical drive. The 90-degree plug on one end and straight 180-degree plug on the other suit cramped drive bays or low-profile backplanes. Backwards compatibility covers SATA I and II ports. It is built for system integrators who need a secure fit in compact chassis.

Latching connectors prevent accidental disconnects

Each 7-pin receptacle carries a locking latch that clicks into place, so vibration or cable routing cannot pull the link loose during transport or daily operation. The angled entry also reduces strain on the drive port when cables are dressed behind a motherboard tray. No software or driver is involved; the mechanical lock is the only addition over a standard SATA lead.

26 AWG tinned copper with foil shielding

The conductors are 26 AWG tinned copper wrapped in shielding, meeting UL listing and RoHS compliance for flame resistance and restricted substances. The black jacket is 18 inches long, giving enough reach for typical mid-tower layouts without excess slack. Builders who need longer runs or right-angle plugs on both ends should select a different cable.

Questions about this item

Will the latch on the 90-degree connector wear out and need replacement?

The locking latch is moulded into each 7-pin SATA plug and is not a separate replaceable part; the cable itself is the serviceable unit.

What limits throughput first when the link runs continuously at 6.0 Gbps?

The connected drive or controller caps the rate; the cable is rated for the full SATA 3.0 6.0 Gbps specification.

Does the 26 AWG copper conductor get warm during all-day operation?

The thin 26 AWG tinned copper conductors carry only the low-voltage SATA signalling current, so measurable heat does not develop.
