SATA Cable DeLOCK 84985 0.5m SATA 7-pin Black Blue

The DeLOCK 84985 SATA cable is a 0.5 m internal SATA III cable with 7-pin connectors on both ends, designed to connect SATA devices such as hard disk drives, controller cards or flash storage to a motherboard or other SATA host. It supports the SATA III standard with data transfer rates up to 6 Gb/s and is backward compatible with earlier SATA versions, operating at the respective lower speeds when used with older devices. The cable features metal locking clips on the connectors for a secure fit; when connected to a hard drive the cable will be routed to the left.

Advantages

The cable complies with the latest SATA standard for up to 6 Gb/s transfer, offers backward compatibility with previous SATA generations, and includes metal clips to ensure connectors remain firmly latched. Its 0.5 m length and compact 7-pin SATA connectors make it suitable for standard internal PC installations, and the black-and-blue color scheme helps with cable identification and routing inside the system.

Suitable for

• Connecting 2.5" or 3.5" SATA hard disk drives and SSDs to a motherboard
• Linking SATA controller cards or expansion cards to SATA storage devices
• Internal connections to flash memory or other SATA-equipped devices inside desktop PCs and workstations

Key specifications

• Cable type: SATA III
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: SATA 7-pin to SATA 7-pin
• Data transfer rate: up to 6 Gb/s (backward compatible)
• Product colour: Black, Blue

How to use

Power off and unplug the system before installing. Align a 7-pin SATA connector with the SATA port on the motherboard or device and press until the metal clip engages. Route the cable inside the case to avoid sharp bends and to maintain airflow; when connecting to a hard drive the cable will be led to the left. After installation, power on the system and verify that the connected device is detected in the BIOS/UEFI or operating system.

Recommendations

Use this cable for internal SATA connections in desktop PCs and workstations. Avoid excessive bending or strain on the cable and ensure metal clips are fully engaged to maintain a reliable data connection. For devices using older SATA standards, expect lower transfer speeds corresponding to the device capability.
