SATAGear R-SS-1MSS 40in SATA III straight-to-straight cable

SKU CH-PYQN-T1NE6

A 40-inch straight-to-straight SATA III cable supporting 6.0 Gbps throughput with shielded 7-pin connectors

  • 6 Gbps throughput with SATA 3.0 revision
  • Narrow shielded cable improves airflow and reduces EMI
  • Straight 7-pin female connectors on both ends
  • 40 inch length suits full-tower drive placement
  • Backward compatible with SATA 1.0 devices

What this cable is and who needs it

This 40in internal SATA III cable connects a Serial ATA drive or optical unit to a SATA controller at up to 6.0 Gbps. It uses straight 7-pin female connectors on both ends and a shielded, narrow profile that eases routing and improves case airflow. The link meets the Serial ATA 1.0 standard and suits desktop or server builds with multiple drives.

Builders who benefit and those who should not

Installers who want a tidy, shielded run between a drive and a motherboard or host adapter will find the slim design simple to route. Buyers who need right-angle connectors for tight clearance, an external eSATA bracket connection, or a longer run than 40in should look at a different cable.

Behaviour under sustained load

The shielded construction protects the 6.0 Gbps signal from EMI and RFI during continuous transfers, while the narrow jacket keeps airflow steady around other components. Performance remains consistent for long copy jobs or server workloads without the signal degradation that can appear on unshielded ribbon-style cables.

Questions about this item

What SATA controller do I need for this 40in straight-to-straight cable?

A motherboard or add-in card with a standard 7-pin SATA port provides the controller; the cable itself carries the signal between that port and the drive.

Will this cable slow down an older SATA 1.0 drive I still use?

The cable meets SATA 1.0 standards and supports up to 6.0 Gbps, so the older drive runs at its native speed without bottleneck.

How do I confirm the link is running at 6.0 Gbps after I connect it?

Check the negotiated speed in BIOS or the operating system storage utility; it will report the active link rate for the attached drive.
