SATA cable S/CONN BS78241-1.0 1 m Male/Male Red

The S/CONN BS78241-1.0 1 m SATA cable Male/Male in red from ShiverPeaks is a single-purpose internal PC cable for connecting SATA storage devices such as hard drives and SSDs to motherboard ports or host adapters. At 1 m length and with standard SATA male connectors on both ends, the cable provides a straightforward solution for short-range data connections inside desktop systems or compact enclosures. The red outer jacket makes cable routing visually distinctive and can help with component identification during installation and maintenance.

Advantages

This SATA cable delivers reliable point-to-point data transfer through standard SATA male-to-male connectors and a consistent 1 m length suited to typical desktop layouts. The colored jacket improves visibility in crowded cases and simplifies cable management. Compatibility with standard SATA ports ensures easy plug-and-play installation without requiring additional adapters or drivers.

Suitable for

• Connecting 2.5" or 3.5" SATA hard drives and SATA solid-state drives to a motherboard or SATA host controller
• Internal cabling in desktop PCs, workstations and small form factor cases where a 1 m cable is adequate
• System assembly, upgrades and drive replacement tasks requiring a clearly visible cable for routing

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connector type: SATA male to SATA male
• Colour: Red outer jacket
• Application: Internal data connection for SATA storage devices

How to use

Power down the computer and disconnect from the mains before installing the cable. Align the SATA male connector with the SATA port on the drive and motherboard, taking note of the keyed connector shape to ensure correct orientation. Gently insert each end until it seats firmly; no tools are required. After connecting, verify the drive is recognized in BIOS/UEFI or the operating system and secure the cable to the case to avoid strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharply bending or kinking the cable and maintain a gentle bend radius. Route the cable away from high-heat components and use cable ties or Velcro straps to prevent tension at connector ends. Do not use this cable for external connections or where locking latches are required; use appropriate external SATA or latching cables for those applications.
