SATA data cable ShiverPeaks BS78246-0.5Y-3 6 Gb/s with metal clip, 0.5 m

SATA data cable ShiverPeaks BS78246-0.5Y-3 6 Gb/s with metal clip, 0.5 m is a single-ended internal cable designed to connect SATA storage devices to desktop and workstation motherboards. The cable supports SATA III transfer rates up to 6 Gb/s and has a compact 0.5 metre length that reduces clutter inside system cases while maintaining signal integrity for internal HDDs, SSDs and optical drives. A metal clip on the connector provides secure retention to prevent accidental disconnection during operation or transport.

Advantages

The cable delivers SATA III performance with up to 6 Gb/s throughput and is built to maintain consistent data transfer between drive and motherboard. Its 0.5 m length offers a balance between reach and neat cable routing inside PC cases. The metal clip on the connector improves mechanical retention compared with friction-only designs, reducing the risk of loose connections. The cable’s construction focuses on signal stability appropriate for internal storage devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting internal 2.5" and 3.5" HDDs to SATA ports on motherboards
• Connecting 2.5" and M.2 adapter SSDs that use standard SATA connectors
• Connecting internal optical drives (DVD/Blu-ray) to SATA ports
• Use in desktop PCs, workstations, and lab machines where short internal cable runs are preferred

Key specifications

• Interface: SATA III compatible, up to 6 Gb/s transfer rate
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector retention: metal clip for secure connection
• Application: internal data cable for HDD, SSD and optical drives
• Form factor: straight SATA connectors suitable for standard internal ports

How to use

Power off the system and disconnect mains power before installing the cable. Align the SATA connector with the motherboard or drive port so the keyed edge matches the socket, then press the connector firmly until the metal clip engages to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it clear of fans and heat sources. After connecting, restore power and verify that the BIOS or operating system detects the attached drive.

Recommendations

Use the 0.5 m length for short internal connections to improve airflow and reduce signal reflections. Ensure connectors are fully seated and the metal clip is engaged; avoid excessive force or repeated bending near the connector to maintain long-term reliability.
