30 cm SATA III cable for tight builds
This 30 cm round SATA III cable connects a drive to a motherboard or controller inside a desktop or server case. The short length reduces excess cable bulk and helps maintain clear airflow paths. Both ends use straight 7‑pin latching receptacles that click into place. It is suited for builders who need a tidy internal link without long loops.
Sustained 6 Gbps throughput with compliant drives
The cable is fully compliant with SATA 6 Gb/s specifications and supports transfer rates up to 6 Gbps when paired with SATA 3.0 compliant drives. Signal integrity is maintained over the 300 mm run during continuous read or write workloads. No active electronics are present, so performance scales directly with the connected devices. Builders who require longer runs for full‑tower cases should consider a different length.
Latching connectors and round profile for daily
Straight latching connectors resist accidental disconnection caused by vibration or cable movement during routine maintenance. The round jacket routes cleanly behind motherboard trays and through grommets without flattening. Black colouring keeps the cable visually unobtrusive in windowed chassis. Users who prefer right‑angle plugs for cramped drive bays will need an alternative design.

Questions about this item
Does the 30 cm round SATA cable generate any heat or noise when running continuously?
No, the passive cable carries only data signals and produces no heat or audible noise during all-day operation.
What must the system already provide for this SATRD30CM to function?
The motherboard or controller needs a standard 7-pin SATA data port, and the drive requires its own SATA power connector from the PSU.
Will the 6 Gbps latching cable work reliably with an older SATA 3.0 Gbps hard drive?
Yes, the cable is backward compatible and will operate at the drive's native 3.0 Gbps speed while the latching connectors stay secure.
