ACT SATA III connection cable 6 Gb/s 0,50 m

The ACT SATA III connection cable AK3391 0.5m is a black, female-to-female SATA III cable designed for internal PC connections. It supports SATA III data transfer rates up to 6 Gb/s and offers a compact 0.5 metre length suitable for use inside desktop systems, storage enclosures and other applications requiring short, direct connections between SATA devices.

Advantages

This SATA III cable provides a stable and reliable link between compatible SATA devices at the full 6 Gb/s specification where supported by the host and drives. Its female-to-female connector configuration allows straightforward attachment to standard SATA headers and ports for data transfer. The short 0.5 m length helps reduce cable clutter inside systems and can improve airflow compared with longer cables. The cable is finished in black to blend with typical PC interiors.

Suitable for

• Connecting internal SATA hard drives and SSDs to SATA ports or adapter brackets
• Short-range connections inside desktop PCs, NAS enclosures, or storage expansion units
• Replacing worn or damaged SATA III data cables in compact builds

Key specifications

• Cable type: SATA III (supports up to 6 Gb/s)
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Connector configuration: female-to-female SATA data connectors
• Colour: Black

How to use

Ensure both the host motherboard or adapter and the storage device support SATA connections. Power down the system and disconnect mains power before installing the cable. Align each female SATA connector with the corresponding male port on the device or adapter and insert gently until seated. Reconnect power and verify that the operating system recognises the connected drive. For hot-pluggable systems, follow the hardware and OS guidelines for safe hot-swap procedures.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this SATA III cable for short internal connections where 0.5 m length is sufficient. Avoid sharp bends or excessive strain on the connectors, and route the cable to prevent interference with cooling airflow. If longer runs or angled routing are required, select an appropriately sized cable to maintain reliable signal integrity.
