Connection type and length

This Monoprice SATA 6Gbps cable measures 10 inches or .83 feet and carries two straight connectors. Each end has an attached locking latch designed to resist movement and vibration. The black cable suits internal SSD, hard drive or optical drive connections.

Speed rating and compatibility

The cable supports up to 6 Gbps when paired with matching devices and controllers. It is backwards compatible with 3.0 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps hardware, though the subsystem will run at the slowest linked speed.

Reach and headroom

At 10 inches the cable spans short internal runs between adjacent drive bays or a motherboard header and a nearby drive. Longer routes across a full tower chassis will exceed its length and require a different cable.

  • Locking latches prevent disconnection from vibration
  • 10-inch length suits compact internal builds
  • Straight connectors fit standard drive ports

Questions about this item

What real-world speed will I see from the 6 Gbps rating once the cable is installed?

The cable supports up to 6 Gbps when both the drive and controller are SATA 3.0 devices; the subsystem runs at the speed of the slowest component, so a 1.5 Gbps drive or controller will limit throughput to 1.5 Gbps.

How does the SATA 6 Gbps standard affect what this cable can actually deliver?

SATA Revision 3.0 defines a 6 Gbps ceiling; this cable meets the tighter material tolerances required for that rate, but actual throughput is capped by the lowest-rated device in the chain.

What clearance and mounting style does the 10-inch straight locking connector need?

Each end has a straight connector with an attached locking latch, so you need enough straight-line space behind the drive and motherboard port for the latch to engage without obstruction.
