EN-Labs SATA18BLACK Cable

This 18 inch SATA data cable uses 26AWG tinned copper conductors and straight 7-pin connectors with locking latches. It supports the SATA 3.0 specification for transfer rates up to 6.0 Gbps and is backwards compatible with earlier revisions. The black cable is UL listed and RoHS compliant.

Builders adding internal storage

The cable connects motherboards or host controllers to SATA hard drives, SSDs, or optical drives where a secure locking connection is desired. It carries data only and does not supply power, so a separate power connection is required. Systems needing right-angle connectors or longer reach should consider a different cable.

Sustained data transfer behaviour

The 26AWG conductors and locking latches maintain a stable electrical connection during continuous read or write operations. Signal integrity remains consistent at the rated 6.0 Gbps ceiling without intermittent drops caused by connector movement. Performance is ultimately limited by the speed rating of the attached drive and controller.

Questions about this item

What motherboard header does the SATA18BLACK plug into?

It uses a standard 7-pin SATA data header on the motherboard or host controller.

Will this cable run at 6.0 Gbps with a SATA II drive?

The cable supports up to 6.0 Gbps but will operate at the drive's SATA II speed of 3.0 Gbps.

How can I confirm the locking latches are engaged after installation?

Each connector clicks audibly and resists a gentle tug when the latch is fully seated.
