Five clear cables for internal storage

This pack contains five straight-to-straight SATA III data cables, each 18 inches long with locking latches on both ends. They connect motherboards or host controllers to internal hard drives and optical drives using the SATA interface. The clear jacket makes cable routing easy to inspect in a build.

Replaces worn or missing SATA leads

Use these cables when existing SATA data leads are damaged, too short for a new drive layout, or when adding drives to a RAID array. The 6 Gbps rating matches the SATA 3.0 specification and remains backward compatible with SATA I and II devices. Actual throughput depends on the connected drive and controller.

Simple push-fit install with secure latch

Align each connector and press until the metal latch clicks into the port, preventing accidental disconnection during case moves or vibration. No tools are required. Remember that these cables carry data only; a separate SATA power cable from the power supply is needed for every drive.

Common fit issues and how to avoid them

The 18 inch length suits most mid-tower layouts but can fall short in full-tower cases or when routing behind a motherboard tray. Measure the run from controller to drive bay before building. If a latch feels stiff, press the release tab firmly rather than pulling the cable jacket.

FeaturesEnLabs SATA 3 cable is designed to connect motherboards and host controllers to internal Serial ATA hard drives and DVD drives, quickly upgrading your computer for expanded storage. Please be kindly noted that this cable does not provide power for your hard drive. It must be powered separately. The latest SATA Revision 3.0 allows for data transfer speeds of up to 6 Gbps, 2x faster than SATA II, backwards compatible with SATA I and SATA II. (Data transfer speed is limited by rating of the attached equipment.) 5 Pack SATA 3 cable is a cost effective way to provide replacement or spare

Questions about this item

What clearance is needed for the 18-inch straight-to-straight SATA data cable inside a case?

The cable measures 18 inches (45 cm) end-to-end with 180-degree straight connectors on both sides, so allow at least that much straight-line space between the motherboard port and the drive bay.

How do I engage the locking latch correctly when plugging the cable into a SATA port?

Align the connector, push straight in until the metal latch clicks into the port's notch, then tug gently to confirm it is seated; forcing it at an angle can bend the latch.

When should I replace one of these SATA III 6 Gb/s cables in a RAID array?

Swap a cable if you see intermittent drive drop-outs, CRC errors in SMART data, or physical damage to the locking latch or copper conductors.
