Cable for SATA drives and host controllers
The EN-Labs SATA18UVBL90 is an 18 inch SATA III data cable with a 90 degree connector on one end and a straight 180 degree connector on the other. It links SATA I, II or III hard drives and SSDs to internal motherboard ports or host controllers. The UV blue jacket makes the cable easy to identify inside a chassis.
Latching connector secures the link
The straight connector includes a latch that locks into the port so vibration or tight routing cannot pull it loose. Shielded 26AWG tinned copper conductors support the full 6.0 Gbps SATA III specification while remaining backwards compatible with slower SATA revisions. UL listing and RoHS compliance confirm the materials meet recognised safety and environmental standards.
Right-angle end eases tight routing
The 90 degree plug fits against drive bays or motherboard headers where a straight plug would hit adjacent components or the case wall. At 18 inches the reach suits typical mid-tower layouts without leaving excess slack that blocks airflow. Builders who need a longer run or a different angle combination will need another cable.

Questions about this item
Will the latch on the 180-degree connector loosen over time and need replacement?
The latch is moulded into the 7-pin receptacle and rated for the cable's lifetime; no separate replacement part is required.
What limits sustained throughput on this 18-inch run?
The 26 AWG tinned copper conductors and 6.0 Gbps SATA III spec set the ceiling; actual speed cannot exceed the slowest attached device.
Does the shielding add noticeable heat inside a closed case?
Shielding is passive foil and braid; it adds no measurable heat and the cable draws only the negligible signal current of the SATA link.
