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.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 1 metre length for my rack setup?
The cable is exactly one metre long, which fits most short-run connections between a server backplane and an external enclosure in the same rack.
What throughput can I expect when this cable links two eSATA ports?
It carries the native eSATA signal without conversion, so the practical ceiling is the SATA revision supported by the host controller and drive — typically 3 Gb/s or 6 Gb/s.
Does the eSATA interface on this cable limit hot-plug capability?
The eSATA connectors retain the SATA hot-plug signalling, so drives can be swapped while the system is running provided the controller and OS support it.
