What this cable does
The iMicro ST-ESATAUS connects an eSATAp port to a separate eSATA device and a USB peripheral using a single six-inch link. It suits builders who need to split a combo port on a laptop or bracket without adding bulk. The short length keeps cable routing tidy inside compact chassis or external drive enclosures.
Sustained transfer behaviour
Gold-flash contacts on all three plugs maintain low resistance during long copy sessions, reducing signal degradation that can appear with cheaper plating. Nickel shells add corrosion resistance so repeated mating cycles do not raise contact impedance. The fixed six-inch span limits insertion loss, helping the eSATA link hold its rated throughput over extended use.
Connector layout and daily use
A male eSATAp plug enters the host while a male eSATA connector and a male USB Type-A connector face outward for drives or accessories. All three ends use nickel shells that slide firmly into ports without wobble. The short black cable reduces clutter behind panels but cannot reach devices placed farther apart, so it fits fixed installations rather than flexible desktop arrangements.

Questions about this item
Does the 6-inch eSATAp cable generate noticeable heat when transferring data continuously?
The short 6-inch cable uses passive copper conductors with nickel-plated shells and gold-flash contacts, so it adds no active circuitry and produces no measurable heat during sustained transfers.
What host port must my computer provide for the eSATAp plug to work?
Your system needs a powered eSATAp port that combines eSATA signalling with USB power on a single connector; a standard eSATA-only or USB-only port will not mate with the combo plug.
Can I connect this cable to a legacy 3 Gbps eSATA enclosure without speed negotiation issues?
Yes — the cable carries the eSATA signal pins straight through, so a 3 Gbps enclosure will link at its native rate without any handshake problems.
