Short 6-inch SATA III cable

The EN-Labs SATA6BK is a 6-inch SATA III data cable with latching connectors on both ends. It links 7-pin SATA drives to motherboards or host controllers inside a chassis. The short length suits cramped drive bays or backplane setups where longer cables would obstruct airflow.

SATA III 6 Gbps interface limit

The cable supports the SATA revision III electrical specification up to 6.0 Gbps and remains backwards compatible with SATA I and II ports. Actual throughput is capped by the slowest connected device or controller, so a SATA III SSD on a SATA II port will run at the lower rate.

Capacity headroom for single drives

One cable carries a single drive connection; it cannot serve multiple devices or split bandwidth. The 26AWG tinned copper conductors with shielding handle the full 6 Gbps signal for one SSD or HDD, but a second drive requires an additional cable and a free motherboard port.

Questions about this item

Should I pick a 6-inch or longer SATA cable for my build?

The 6-inch length suits tight drive cages and short motherboard-to-drive runs; choose a longer cable only if the routing path exceeds that distance.

What does the 6.0 Gbps rating mean for my SSD or HDD?

It supports the SATA III maximum of 6.0 Gbps, so a SATA SSD can reach its rated sequential speed; actual throughput is limited by the drive and controller.

How does the SATA III interface and locking connector affect installation?

The cable uses a 7-pin SATA 180-degree latching receptacle that clicks onto SATA III, II or I ports, providing a secure fit that resists vibration in dense cases.
