Lindy 0.2m SATA Cable, Latching

The Lindy Latching SATA Cable securely connects a motherboard to HDDs, SSDs or optical drives using two locking 7‑pin SATA connectors. It supports SATA III performance while remaining backward compatible with SATA II and SATA I devices and can be used with both latching and non‑latching motherboards and drives. The cable is covered by a 10 year warranty.

Advantages

The latching connectors provide a reliable, vibration‑resistant internal connection when used with compatible latching ports, while still being compatible with standard non‑latching ports. Full support for SATA III ensures high transfer speeds with modern storage devices, and backward compatibility preserves usability with older hardware.

Key specifications

• Connector type: 7‑pin SATA (locking) to 7‑pin SATA (locking)
• Compatibility: SATA III; backward compatible with SATA II and SATA I
• Supports: HDD, SSD, optical drives
• Works with: latching and standard motherboards/devices
• Warranty: 10 years

How to use

Align the 7‑pin SATA connector with the motherboard or drive port and gently insert until the latch engages on compatible ports. If the device or motherboard lacks a latch, insert the connector as with a standard SATA cable until seated. Ensure both ends are fully seated before powering the system.

Recommendations

For secure internal connections, use the locking feature when both motherboard and drive support latching connectors; check that connectors are fully seated before booting and avoid sharp bends to preserve signal integrity.
