Right-Angle SATA Cable

The StarTech SATA36RA1 is a 36in SATA cable with one straight and one right-angled connector. It suits builders working in compact cases where a straight plug would foul a drive cage or graphics card. The red colour helps identify the cable during assembly or troubleshooting. It connects 2.5in and 3.5in SATA hard drives or SSDs to a motherboard or controller.

Thin Profile Aids Airflow

The slender cable design reduces clutter inside the chassis, allowing air to move more freely around components. Lower obstruction helps keep drive and system temperatures stable during sustained transfers. No active cooling or power draw is introduced by the cable itself. Installation is passive and adds no audible noise to the build.

Serial ATA II Compliance

The cable meets Serial ATA II specifications and supports data rates up to 300 Mbytes/Sec. This ensures reliable performance with compatible drives and host controllers. No additional software, drivers or bundled accessories are included with the cable. The right-angle end simply eases routing in tight spaces without altering signal quality.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the right-angled end of this 36in SATA cable in a tight drive bay?

Align the L-shaped connector B with the drive's SATA port so the cable exits parallel to the drive surface, then press straight in until it clicks; forcing it at an angle bends the fragile pins.

Will the thin red jacket or the connectors degrade and need replacement after extended use?

The cable is passive copper with moulded strain relief; no active components wear out, so replacement is only needed if the jacket is cut or a connector is physically damaged.

At what sustained throughput does the Serial ATA II 300 Mbytes/Sec limit become the bottleneck?

Any continuous sequential transfer that exceeds 300 Mbytes/Sec will be capped by the cable's SATA II rating, which is the first limit reached under heavy load.
