SATA cable ShiverPeaks 78241-0.3 0.3 m — digital connector to connector

SATA cable ShiverPeaks 78241-0.3 is a 0.3 m internal data cable with connector-to-connector terminations designed for short internal routing inside desktop PCs, small form-factor systems and storage enclosures. The cable provides standard SATA data transmission between host controllers and storage devices, enabling reliable communication with SATA HDDs and SATA SSDs where a short, secure connection is required.

Advantages

This 0.3 m SATA cable features compact length for tidy cable management in constrained spaces and reduces excess cable clutter. The connector-on-connector design ensures a direct SATA interface between motherboard or controller ports and drives. A metal retention element on the connector improves seating stability and minimizes accidental disconnection during installation or transport. The cable is intended for internal use and supports common SATA signaling for data transfers within PC and NAS systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting internal SATA HDDs and SATA SSDs to motherboard or controller ports in desktop PCs
• Compact and small form-factor builds where short cable runs are necessary
• NAS enclosures and multi-bay drive cages requiring tidy internal routing
• Temporary or permanent internal drive installations in workstations and servers

Key specifications

• Cable type: internal SATA data cable
• Length: 0.3 meter
• Termination: SATA connector to SATA connector
• Connector features: metal retention for secure seating
• Compatibility: standard SATA host controllers and SATA storage drives
• Use environment: internal PC or enclosure routing

How to use

Power off the system and open the computer case or drive enclosure before connecting the cable. Align the SATA connector keyed notch with the port on the motherboard or controller and press gently until the connector seats and the retention engages. Connect the opposite end to the SATA data port on the drive, ensuring a firm fit. After connections are made, verify that drive power is connected and close the case before powering on the system. During installation, avoid forcing the connector at an angle to prevent damage to the port or cable.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this cable for short internal runs only and avoid routing near high-power or poorly shielded sources. Maintain adequate airflow around drives and secure excess cable to prevent contact with cooling fans. Inspect connectors before installation for debris or damage and replace the cable if any bent pins or loose retention elements are observed.
