Right-Angle SATA Cable for Tight Builds

This six-inch SATA data cable uses a straight connector on one end and a right-angle connector on the other to fit drives where a straight plug would hit a case wall or another component. The 26 AWG conductors and aluminium-Mylar foil with braid shielding meet Serial ATA III specifications for reliable 6 Gbps transfer rates. Red PVC jacket adds visibility during cable routing.

Replaces Standard Straight SATA Cables

Swap this cable in when a drive sits flush against a side panel, a long graphics card or a drive cage that leaves no room for a straight connector hood. The right-angle head removes the clearance problem without needing an adapter that adds another failure point. Builders with generous space around every SATA port will not need the angled design.

Handles Two Drives in Cramped Bays

The 152.4 mm length reaches from a motherboard port to a 2.5 or 3.5 inch drive mounted in a tight bay while keeping slack minimal for airflow. Seven conductors carry the full SATA III signal set. The short reach cannot span full-tower distances or connect drives mounted far from the board; longer cables are required for those layouts.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the right-angle SATA connector need behind a 3.5 or 2.5 drive?

The right-angle connector bends at the drive port so the cable runs parallel to the drive, letting you route it in the narrow gap between the drive and the case wall.

Which end plugs in first when I install the SATA6RA1 in a tight build?

Connect the straight end to the motherboard or controller first, then angle the right-angle end onto the drive SATA port; reversing the order can make the bend fight the limited space.

When should I replace this 26 AWG SATA cable?

Replace it if the PVC jacket shows cracks, the foil-and-braid shield is exposed, or the 7-pin connectors feel loose and cause intermittent 6 Gbps link errors.
