SATA cable Inter-Tech 88885521 0.15 m Black Male/Female

The Inter-Tech 88885521 SATA cable is a 0.15 m black Male/Female cable designed for internal PC connections. It provides a compact connection option for linking SATA devices such as hard drives, solid-state drives and optical drives to compatible controllers or adapter boards. The short length minimizes cable clutter inside compact or densely packed cases while maintaining the standard SATA connector interface for reliable data transfer.

Advantages

This SATA cable offers a standardized Male/Female connection that supports typical SATA device communication. Its 0.15 m length reduces excess cabling in small form-factor systems or within tight drive bays. The cable's black finish blends with common internal PC components and contributes to a neat appearance. Constructed to the SATA interface form factor, the cable is straightforward to install and replace when upgrading or servicing storage devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting a 2.5" or 3.5" SATA hard drive to a motherboard or SATA controller in compact PC cases
• Linking SATA SSDs in small desktop builds or HTPCs where short cable runs are required
• Replacing a worn or damaged internal SATA cable in an existing system
• Connecting SATA optical drives in compact enclosures or lab/test rigs

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.15 m
• Connector configuration: Male to Female (SATA standard connectors)
• Colour: Black
• Intended use: Internal SATA data connection between storage devices and controllers

How to use

Power off the system and disconnect from mains before installing or removing the cable. Align the SATA male connector with the female port on the drive or controller, ensuring the L-shaped key fits the socket orientation, then insert gently until seated. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it clear of cooling fans and moving parts. If connecting to a motherboard and a drive, attach one end to the drive and the other to the motherboard SATA port or controller card. Reconnect power and boot the system to verify device detection in BIOS or the operating system.

Recommendations

Use this short 0.15 m cable in builds where minimal cable length is required to reduce airflow obstruction and cable clutter. Avoid excessive bending near the connector and ensure connections are secure before powering the system. For longer runs or externally accessible setups, choose a longer SATA cable designed for that purpose.
