What this cable connects
The SATACables MSSA-003 is a 36 inch MINI SATA male-to-female extension cable designed to bridge the gap between a host connector and a slimline drive or enclosure. It suits builders who need extra reach inside compact chassis or external docks where the standard lead falls short. The cable carries both data and power lines in a single run. It is not for users who need a straight-through SATA cable without the slimline form factor.
Interface limits and compliance
The cable complies with SATA rev 2.6 updated specifications, so its practical throughput is limited to the 3 Gbps ceiling of that generation. Builders pairing it with newer 6 Gbps controllers or drives will see the link negotiate down to the lower speed. The 36 inch length stays within the electrical budget of the spec but leaves no margin for additional adapters or daisy-chained extensions. It does not convert the interface to full-size SATA or eSATA.
