Internal Serial ATA cable ShiverPeaks SCO 78246-0.5-Y5 50 cm straight metal spring

The ShiverPeaks Internal Serial ATA cable SCO 78246-0.5-Y5 is a 50 cm SATA data cable with straight connectors and a metal spring strain relief designed for internal desktop PC use. It connects SATA hard drives, solid-state drives and optical drives to motherboard SATA ports. The cable is intended to provide a compact, reliable connection in confined cases and helps reduce stress at the connector with a reinforced metal spring for improved durability and cable routing.

Advantages

This internal SATA cable combines a 50 cm length suitable for typical desktop layouts with straight SATA connectors that fit standard drive and motherboard ports. The metal spring strain relief reduces bending stress on the connector, helping prevent premature wear and accidental disconnects in tight spaces. The cable is constructed to offer a stable data link between storage devices and the motherboard while keeping a low profile for easier cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting 2.5" or 3.5" SATA hard drives and SSDs to motherboard SATA ports inside desktop PCs
• Linking internal optical drives (DVD/Blu-ray) to SATA ports
• Systems with limited internal space where guided cable routing is needed
• Upgrades or replacements of existing internal SATA data cables

Key specifications

• Interface: Serial ATA (SATA) data cable
• Cable length: 50 cm
• Connector orientation: straight connectors on both ends
• Strain relief: metal spring reinforcement at connector
• Use: internal desktop PC connection between drives and motherboard

How to use

Power off the PC and disconnect it from mains before installation. Align the straight SATA connector with the corresponding motherboard SATA port and gently insert until it seats securely. Connect the other end to the SATA data port on the drive. Ensure the metal spring strain relief is positioned to guide the cable away from sharp bends and moving components. After connecting, restore power and verify the drive is detected by the system BIOS or operating system.

Recommendations

Use the cable for internal data connections only and avoid excessive bending near connectors. Combine with appropriate SATA power connectors from the power supply and regularly check connectors for secure seating when performing system maintenance or upgrades.
