18 inch SATA III cable
This 18 inch SATA III data cable connects SATA hard drives or SSDs to a motherboard or host controller. It supports the SATA 6 Gbps specification and remains backwards compatible with older SATA I and II ports. The UV green jacket helps with cable identification inside a case. It suits system builders and IT technicians who need a reliable spare for storage upgrades.
90 to 180 degree latch connectors
One end features a 90 degree angled connector while the other is a straight 180 degree plug with a locking latch. The latch secures the connection in tight spaces where vibration or cramped routing might loosen a standard plug. Installers should verify the 90 degree orientation matches the drive port clearance before routing the cable. The 26AWG tinned copper conductors and shielding maintain signal integrity across the 18 inch run.
6 Gbps headroom and length limits
The cable handles the full SATA III 6.0 Gbps bandwidth, so it will not bottleneck modern SSDs or hard drives. Actual throughput is limited by the speed rating of the connected drive and controller rather than the cable itself. At 18 inches it reaches most internal drive bays but falls short for full-tower routing behind a motherboard tray. Builders needing longer runs or external eSATA connections should choose a different length or connector style.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the 6 Gbps SATA III link is active after connecting the 18-inch cable?
Check the BIOS or operating-system storage information; it should report a 6 Gbps negotiated speed for the attached drive, showing the cable is operating at its rated capability.
What comes in the package and do I need any extra parts to install it?
The box contains one 18-inch SATA III cable with a 90-degree latching connector on one end and a 180-degree latching connector on the other; no additional components are required for a standard drive-to-motherboard connection.
Which version of this cable should I choose for a tight build where the drive port faces sideways?
Select the 90-degree-to-180-degree variant; the angled end fits snugly against a side-facing drive port while the straight latched end secures to the motherboard.
