SATA cable DeLOCK 86078 0.5 m SATA 7-pin SATA 22-pin Molex

The DeLOCK 86078 SATA cable is a 0.5 m internal cable engineered for connecting SATA storage devices. It combines a SATA 7-pin plug with a combined SATA 22-pin and Molex 4-pin connection to provide data transfer and power interface options for SATA III-compatible drives. The cable is finished in black with coloured headers (red and white accents) and comes packaged in a polybag for straightforward installation into desktop systems and storage enclosures.

Advantages

This SATA cable supports SATA III data transfer rates and provides a compact 0.5 m length suited for tidy cable routing inside PC cases. The integrated 22-pin SATA plus Molex 4-pin connector allows use with devices or adapters requiring both signal and power connections, reducing the need for separate power cabling. Durable connector housings and standard 7-pin signal interface ensure compatibility with a wide range of motherboards and drives.

Suitable for

• Connecting 2.5" or 3.5" SATA hard disk drives and SATA solid-state drives to motherboard or controller ports
• Internal drive installations in desktop PCs, NAS enclosures, or small form-factor systems
• Situations where a combined signal and power connection via SATA 22-pin + Molex is required
• Cable routing in compact cases where a 0.5 m length is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Connector 1: SATA 7-pin (data)
• Connector 2: SATA 22-pin (signal + power) with integrated Molex 4-pin
• Colour: black cable with red and white connector accents
• Packaging: polybag

How to use

Power off the computer and disconnect it from mains before installation. Plug the SATA 7-pin connector into the SATA data port of the drive, and insert the combined SATA 22-pin + Molex 4-pin connector into the matching port or adapter on the host or power source as required. Ensure connectors are oriented correctly and fully seated to avoid loose contacts. After connections are secured, restore power and verify that the operating system or BIOS recognises the connected drive.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, route the 0.5 m cable to minimise sharp bends and contact with moving parts such as fans. Use the integrated Molex power option only when a dedicated SATA power connector is unavailable; verify correct pin alignment before applying power. Periodically inspect connectors for dust or deformation and replace the cable if connectors show signs of wear.
