iStarUSA Inc. CAGE-ESA2ESA 1m eSATA to eSATA External SATA Cable server accessory

Direct-attached storage link

This one-metre eSATA cable connects two external SATA ports for direct-attached storage or server expansion. It suits administrators who need a simple, standards-based link between a host controller and an external enclosure. The cable carries the SATA protocol outside the chassis without signal conversion. It is not for buyers who require longer runs or internal backplane cabling.

External SATA distance constraint

The eSATA interface is specified for cables up to two metres, so this one-metre length stays well within the electrical limit for reliable operation. Shielding and connector design preserve signal integrity across the full span at full SATA speeds. No active repeater or signal booster is needed at this distance. Builders who need runs beyond the standard maximum must consider alternative interconnects.

RoHS-compliant moulded assembly

The cable meets RoHS requirements, indicating restricted-substance compliance for deployment in regulated environments. Moulded strain relief on each eSATA plug reduces wear from repeated insertion cycles in rackmount or desktop use. The slim jacket routes cleanly through cable-management channels without blocking adjacent ports. Installers who need locking-latch retention should verify compatibility with their specific port design.
