It supports the SATA III standard with transfer rates up to 6 Gb/s and is backward compatible with earlier SATA versions while operating at the respective legacy speeds. The cable features a metal clip on the receptacle and a clearance on the plug to ensure a secure, audible click when connected.

Advantages

The cable supports SATA III data rates up to 6 Gb/s and is backwards compatible with older SATA generations. Its 7‑pin SATA connectors on both ends provide a standard internal connection for drives and controllers. The metal clip and plug clearance design improve connection reliability and help prevent accidental disconnection. At 0.5 m length the cable is suitable for tidy internal routing inside PC cases.

Suitable for

• Connecting internal hard drives (HDD) and solid state drives (SSD) to SATA controllers
• Extending or replacing short internal SATA connections in desktop PCs
• Upgrading or assembling PCs that require a 0.5 m SATA cable

Key specifications

How to use

Power off the PC and disconnect mains power before installing. Connect one SATA 7‑pin end to the SATA port on the motherboard or controller and the other end to the SATA device (HDD/SSD).

Reconnect power and power on the system to verify device detection in BIOS/OS.

Recommendations

Use the cable for internal PC connections only. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; route it to prevent contact with moving parts and heat sources. For maximum performance ensure both host and device support SATA III; otherwise the connection will operate at the lower supported SATA speed.
