Interface Card Adapter LOGILINK AU0006C — USB Type-A to IDE/ATA and SATA, 1.2 m cable, black

LOGILINK AU0006C is an interface card adapter that allows connection of IDE/ATA and SATA drives to a host via a USB Type-A plug. Designed to bridge older internal storage devices with modern systems, the adapter provides a male USB Type-A connector and female IDE/ATA and SATA ports on a 1.2 m cable in a black housing. It is compatible with Windows 10 and enables data access and transfer from legacy drives without requiring installation inside a computer.

Advantages

The adapter supports both IDE/ATA and SATA interfaces, offering a single solution for accessing different drive types. With a 1.2 m cable and a USB Type-A host connector, it provides convenient reach and easy plug-and-play connection to most desktop and laptop computers. The compact, external design eliminates the need for internal mounting and simplifies temporary drive recovery or cloning tasks. Its black colour and standard connector arrangement make it suitable for use in mixed environments and with portable setups.

Suitable for

• Recovering data from older internal IDE/ATA drives
• Connecting SATA drives externally for data transfer or cloning
• Accessing drive contents for backups, diagnostics, or file migration
• Temporarily connecting spare drives to a computer without opening the case

Key specifications

• Host interface: USB Type-A (male)
• Output interfaces: IDE/ATA (female), SATA (female)
• Cable length: 1.2 m
• Product colour: Black
• Compatibility: Windows 10 (plug-and-play)

How to use

Connect the male USB Type-A plug to an available USB port on the host computer. Select the appropriate female connector on the adapter and attach the target drive: align and seat the IDE/ATA ribbon or the SATA data connector as required. Once connected, power the drive if an external power source is needed (for some 3.5" IDE or SATA drives) and allow the operating system to recognise the device. Access files via the file manager, perform data transfers, cloning, or diagnostics using standard software tools.

Recommendations

Use the adapter for data retrieval, cloning, or temporary access rather than as a permanent drive housing solution. For 3.5" drives or drives that require higher power, ensure an appropriate external power supply is used; the USB Type-A connection may not supply sufficient current. Handle drives on an anti-static surface and avoid physical stress on connectors during use to ensure reliable operation.
