Tripp Lite P940-12I SATA Latching Cable

This Tripp Lite P940-12I cable connects any high-speed Serial ATA device to a Serial ATA controller. It supports data transfer rates up to 6.0 Gbps while remaining backward compatible to 1.5 Gbps. The narrow cable design helps improve internal air flow inside a desktop or server chassis. It features 7-pin straight latching connectors on both ends for a secure fit.

Builders needing secure SATA drive connections

The latching connectors prevent accidental disconnection, making this cable suitable for systems with multiple drives or environments where vibration occurs. Users requiring angled connectors for tight clearances should look at alternative cable designs. Builders connecting drives that do not use the SATA interface will need a different cable type entirely.

Simple push-in installation with latching lock

Installation requires aligning the 7-pin straight connectors with the device and controller ports, then pressing firmly until the latch clicks into place. The most common issue is failing to seat the connector fully, which leaves the latch unengaged and risks signal loss. Routing the narrow cable away from sharp chassis edges prevents insulation damage over time.

Questions about this item

What type of SATA ports must my motherboard or controller have to use this 7-pin straight latching cable?

The cable fits standard 7-pin SATA ports on any motherboard or controller that supports Serial ATA.

Will this cable work with my older 1.5 Gbps SATA hard drive?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with 1.5 Gbps SATA devices while also supporting up to 6.0 Gbps.

How can I confirm the latching connectors are properly seated after installation?

Each connector clicks into place; a firm tug should not release it, and the system will detect the drive at full SATA speed.
