Monoprice 140373 SATA 6 Gbps straight cable with locking latch 10 inches black

SATA 6 Gbps cable with locking latch

The Monoprice 140373 is a 10 inch internal SATA cable rated for 6 Gbps speeds. It connects SSDs, hard drives or optical drives to a motherboard or controller. The male-to-male copper conductors support backwards compatibility with 3 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps devices. This cable suits builders who need a short, secure link inside a compact case.

Straight connectors and latch installation

Each end has a straight connector with an attached locking latch that clicks into the port. Push the plug straight in until the latch engages; do not force it at an angle. The short .83 foot length leaves little slack, so route the cable before seating both ends. The latch prevents disconnection from vibration but requires a deliberate squeeze to release.

6 Gbps certified transfer rate

The cable is certified for SATA 6 Gbps performance when paired with matching drives and controllers. Actual throughput will not exceed the slowest device in the chain. If your drive or controller only supports 1.5 Gbps or 3 Gbps, the link will run at that lower speed. Buyers needing longer reach or right-angle connectors should choose a different cable.
