SATA connector for MacBook Unibody 13 A1342
This 2 in 1 accessory replaces the internal SATA hard drive connector in MacBook Unibody 13 inch A1342 models from 2009 and 2010. It fits the MC207LL/A and MC516LL/A part numbers and matches Apple part numbers 922-9181 and 821-0875-A. The connector restores the link between the logic board and a 2.5 inch SATA drive.
Compatible MacBook models and exclusion
The part is tested for MacBook6,1 Late 2009 2.26 GHz Core 2 Duo and MacBook7,1 Mid 2010 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo units. It will not fit MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, retina models or any system outside the listed A1342 identifiers. Builders working on other laptops or newer Macs need a different connector.
SATA interface decides fit
The connector carries a standard SATA signal for mechanical hard drives or SATA SSDs. If the replacement drive uses a different interface the connector will not work. Verify the drive type before ordering.

Questions about this item
Will the SATA connector on this Cable Plus part need replacement if the hard drive cable fails again?
This connector is a direct replacement for Apple part numbers 922-9181 and 821-0875-A, so it restores the original SATA link without requiring a different component.
What is the first limit that appears when the SATA connector runs continuously in a MacBook Unibody 13?
The connector is a passive SATA flex cable; its practical limit is the signal integrity of the SATA interface itself rather than a thermal or power threshold.
Does the SATA connector generate noticeable heat or noise during all-day operation in a 2009 or 2010 MacBook?
As a passive flex cable carrying SATA signals, it produces no audible noise and negligible heat beyond normal drive warmth.
