CableCreation SATA III 8-inch 6.0 Gbps 5-Pack Blue

SKU CH-0ZKG-EB53N

Five short SATA III cables with locking latches for tight small-form-factor builds at 6.0 Gbps

  • 6 Gbps throughput with SATA 3.0 revision
  • Backwards compatible with SATA 1 and 2 revisions
  • 8-inch length fits Mini ITX and Intel NUC builds
  • Locking latch on each end prevents accidental disconnection
  • Five cables included for multiple drive connections

Five-cable SATA III pack

This five-pack supplies 8-inch SATA III cables rated for 6.0 Gbps throughput. Each cable uses a straight-to-angled connector layout with locking latches on both ends. The short 0.2 m length targets Mini-ITX builds, Intel NUC units and other small-form-factor systems where longer cables would clutter the chassis. Buyers who need longer runs for full-size towers should look elsewhere.

Replaces loose or ageing SATA leads

The cables step in when factory-supplied leads are too long, lack locking latches or have developed intermittent contact after repeated drive swaps. Moving from unlocked to latched connectors removes the most common cause of dropped drives in vibration-prone small cases. The jump is worth it when a build has no room for cable routing and every millimetre of clearance counts.

Tool-free press fit with latch verification

Push each connector until the latch clicks; no screws or clips are required. The angled plug seats against the drive edge, so confirm the drive orientation before pressing to avoid blocking adjacent ports. The only common issue is forgetting to depress the latch when removing the cable, which can bend the header pin if forced.

Questions about this item

Will the 8-inch straight-to-angled SATA connectors fit inside a Mini ITX or Intel NUC case?

The 8-inch length is designed for Mini ITX, Intel NUC and other small form factor computers, with a straight connector on one end and an angled connector on the other for tight spaces.

How do I secure the locking latch so the cable does not disconnect during use?

Push each connector fully onto the SATA port until the metal latch clicks into the port's notch; the latch must audibly click to lock the cable in place.

When should I replace one of the five blue SATA III cables in the pack?

Replace a cable if the locking latch no longer clicks, the connector feels loose, or you see bent pins or damaged insulation on the 7-pin ends.
