Monoprice 140407 SATA 6Gbps straight locking cable 1.5 ft black 10 pack

Pack contents and purpose

This pack contains ten SATA cables each measuring 1.50 ft. They are intended for builders who need multiple internal data links for hard drives, solid-state drives or optical drives. The short length keeps cable routing tidy inside compact cases. Buyers who want longer runs for full-tower layouts should look elsewhere.

Interface speed ceiling

The cables conform to the SATA 3.0 specification and support data transfer speeds of up to 6 Gbps when paired with matching controllers and drives. They are backwards compatible with 3 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps devices, but the subsystem will operate at the speed of the slowest component. No higher throughput is possible with this standard.

Connector security and daily use

Each end uses a straight connector fitted with an attached locking latch that resists accidental disconnection from vibration or movement. The latch adds a positive click when seated, making it easier to verify a firm connection during assembly or maintenance. The straight profile suits tight drive bays where angled plugs would foul adjacent components.
