SATA III 6 Gbps cable with latch

This 18-inch SATA III data cable carries a straight 7-pin female connector on each end and a locking latch that prevents accidental disconnection. The red nylon-braided jacket protects the 26 AWG tinned copper conductors while adding a clean look inside the case. It supports the SATA 3.0 specification up to 6 Gbps and remains backwards compatible with SATA 1.0 and 2.0 ports. Only data signals are carried; power must be supplied separately.

Fits tight drive bays and clean cable runs

At 1.5 feet the cable reaches from motherboard SATA ports to 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drives without excess slack that blocks airflow. The straight 180-degree connectors sit flush against the PCB, making it easier to route behind motherboard trays or along drive cages. Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference in densely packed builds. No drivers or software are required — just connect the latch and the link is active.

Replaces loose or short OEM cables

Builders replacing the thin, non-latching cables that ship with many motherboards gain a secure connection that survives vibration and transport. The upgrade is worth it when a drive intermittently disappears from BIOS or when cable routing forces sharp bends that stress unshielded wires. It does not add power delivery, so a separate SATA power lead from the PSU is still required for each drive. Users needing longer reaches or right-angle connectors should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How far can this 18-inch SATA cable reach between my drive and motherboard?

The cable measures 18 inches, giving you roughly 1.5 feet of straight-run length between a SATA drive and the motherboard port.

Will the red nylon sleeve and 26 AWG conductors add noticeable heat inside a closed case?

The cable carries only low-voltage data signals up to 6 Gbps, so it produces negligible heat and the braided sleeve does not change that.

What must my motherboard and drive already provide for this cable to work?

Both devices need standard 7-pin SATA data ports; the cable supplies only data, so separate SATA power connectors from your PSU are required for the drive.
