18-Inch SATA 6Gbps Cable with Locking Latch

This 18-inch internal cable connects SATA drives or controllers using straight connectors fitted with locking latches. The blue jacket makes it easy to identify inside a busy chassis. It is built for SATA Revision 3.0 and supports data rates up to 6 Gbps when paired with matching devices. The locking mechanism helps prevent accidental disconnection caused by vibration or movement.

Locking Latch Connectors and Backwards Compatibility

Each end carries a straight SATA connector with an integrated locking latch that clicks into place for a secure fit. The cable is certified for SATA 6 Gbps operation with higher quality materials and tighter tolerances than earlier revisions. It remains backwards compatible with SATA 3 Gbps and SATA 1.5 Gbps equipment, though the subsystem will run at the speed of the slowest connected device.

Check Port Orientation

Verify that your drive and motherboard or controller ports accept straight connectors without clearance issues. Ensure the 18-inch length is sufficient to reach between your components without tension. Confirm that your system uses standard SATA interfaces, as this cable is not designed for eSATA external ports or other interface types.

Questions about this item

What speed does the SATA 6 Gbps cable support and what limits the actual rate?

The cable is certified for SATA revision 3.0 at up to 6 Gbps; the subsystem runs at the slowest device speed, so a 3 Gbps drive or 1.5 Gbps controller caps the transfer at that lower rate.

What clearance does the 18-inch blue cable with straight locking connectors need inside a case?

It measures 1.5 ft end-to-end with two straight connectors that have attached locking latches, so allow enough space for the latch height and the 18-inch run between drive and motherboard ports.

How do you seat the locking latch correctly so it does not pop loose?

Push each straight connector fully into the SATA port until the metal latch clicks into the drive or motherboard socket; the click confirms the latch is engaged and prevents vibration disconnects.
