ACT Serial ATA Power Adapter cable 0.15 m AK3197

The ACT Serial ATA Power Adapter cable 0.15 m AK3197 is a short power adapter cable intended to connect SATA storage devices to a compatible power source inside a computer. With a length of 0.15 m, the cable provides a compact connection solution for tight spaces, drive cages and small form-factor builds where a direct power link is required between the power supply and SATA devices.

Advantages

This 0.15 m Serial ATA power adapter cable offers a compact footprint that reduces cable clutter and improves airflow in confined enclosures. The cable is designed for straightforward installation and reliable power delivery to SATA hard drives and solid-state drives. Its short length minimizes excess cable that could impede cooling or obstruct other components.

Suitable for

• Connecting internal 3.5" or 2.5" SATA hard drives and SATA SSDs to a power source
• Small form-factor PC builds and compact HTPCs where cable length must be minimal
• Replacing a worn or missing short SATA power lead inside desktop systems

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.15 m
• Connector type: Serial ATA power connector (standard SATA power interface)
• Intended use: Internal power connection for SATA storage devices

How to use

Power off the computer and disconnect it from the mains before installing the cable. Locate the SATA power port on the power supply or an existing cable harness and align the SATA power connector with the device's power socket. Firmly insert the connector until it seats fully; the keyed shape prevents incorrect orientation. After installation, ensure the cable does not block fans or airflow paths, then reconnect power and confirm the connected drive is detected by the system.

Recommendations

Use the ACT Serial ATA Power Adapter cable in configurations where a short, reliable internal power connection is needed. Avoid routing the cable near sharp edges or moving parts and check connectors for secure seating during routine maintenance. Do not attempt to force connectors or modify the cable.
