Internal SATA Cable ShiverPeaks BS-78241-0.3 0.3m 7-pin with security lock

ShiverPeaks BS-78241-0.3 is a 0.3 m internal SATA cable with a 7-pin connector and an integrated security lock, intended for connecting SATA storage devices such as SSDs and HDDs to motherboards or controller cards. The cable provides standard SATA data wiring in a compact length suitable for tight internal layouts in desktop PCs, small form factor systems and server enclosures where a short, secure connection is preferred.

Advantages

The cable combines a standard 7-pin SATA interface with a built-in locking latch to reduce the risk of accidental disconnection during transport or maintenance. Its short 0.3 m length helps minimize cable clutter and signal attenuation in close-proximity drive bays, and the molded connectors are designed for a reliable mating fit with typical SATA ports. The construction supports stable data transfer on standard SATA links while occupying minimal internal space.

Suitable for

• Connecting 2.5" or 3.5" SATA SSDs and HDDs inside desktop PCs
• Short internal connections in NAS or server drive bays
• SFF (small form factor) cases and compact builds
• Upgrades or replacements where a locking SATA cable is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: 7-pin SATA to 7-pin SATA (both ends)
• Cable length: 0.3 metres
• Integrated locking latch to secure the connector
• Intended signal standard: SATA data connection
• Form factor: internal right-angle or straight molded SATA plugs (as common for internal SATA cables)

How to use

Align the 7-pin connector with the corresponding SATA data port on the drive or motherboard, ensuring the keyed orientation matches. Gently insert the connector until the locking latch engages and secures the connection. To remove, press the latch to release and pull the connector straight out without twisting. Use the cable in powered-off systems where possible when connecting or disconnecting storage devices to avoid data corruption.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid sharp bends or crushing, and keep it clear of cooling fans and other moving parts. Use the short 0.3 m length where drives and motherboard headers are in close proximity to reduce excess cable and improve airflow. If longer reach or angled connectors are required, select an alternate cable model designed for those needs.
