What this cable does

The EN-Labs SATA III cable carries data at up to 6.0 Gbps between a motherboard or host controller and a 2.5 or 3.5 inch drive. Its 18 inch length suits typical desktop chassis and the UV red jacket aids cable identification in a busy build.

What to verify first

Confirm your drive and motherboard both present a standard 7 pin SATA data port. The straight 180 degree latching connectors require a few millimetres of clearance behind the port, so check that adjacent components or a snug drive cage will not block insertion.

Build and daily use

Shielded 26 AWG tinned copper conductors resist signal degradation and the UL listed, RoHS compliant jacket meets baseline safety and environmental standards. The integrated latch clicks home to prevent accidental disconnection during transport or vibration, yet releases with a simple thumb press when you need to swap drives.

Questions about this item

Does the 18 inch SATA III cable include both connectors or must I buy a second one?

The package contains one cable with a 7-pin latching SATA connector on each end, so no extra connectors are needed.

Should I pick the 16, 18 or 20 inch length for a mid-tower case?

The cable is supplied at 18 inches; the 16 to 20 inch range in the spec simply reflects manufacturing tolerance.

What does the 6.0 Gbps headline speed mean when the cable is fitted to a SATA III motherboard and SSD?

It supports the SATA III 6 Gbps specification; actual throughput will match the slowest device on the link.
