  • ColorGreen
  • Fast 6 Gbps transfer — SATA 3.0 spec

Three-cable SATA III kit for storage upgrades

This pack supplies three green SATA 3 cables, each 50 cm long, to connect internal hard drives, solid-state drives or optical drives to a motherboard or host controller. The straight 180-degree connectors fit standard drive bays and allow quick expansion of storage capacity. Builders who need more than three connections or prefer right-angle plugs will need a different kit.

6 Gbps SATA Revision 3.0 interface

Each cable supports the SATA 3.0 specification for data rates up to 6 Gbps and remains backwards compatible with earlier SATA I and SATA II ports. The tinned copper conductors and aluminium foil shielding protect the signal from external interference. Actual transfer speed is limited by the connected drive and controller rather than the cable itself.

Locking latches maintain contact under vibration

A metal latch on both ends of every cable secures the connection so it resists disconnection caused by case movement or drive vibration. The shielding and conductor quality sustain the rated 6 Gbps throughput during continuous file transfers rather than only in short bursts. Drives that cannot saturate the 6 Gbps link will not gain extra speed from these cables.

Questions about this item

What does the 6 Gbps rating mean for file transfers in my PC?

The cable supports SATA Revision 3.0 up to 6 Gbps, but actual transfer speed is limited by the drive and controller you connect.

Which SATA standard does the cable use and what does it cap?

It uses SATA Revision 3.0, capping the interface at 6 Gbps while remaining backwards compatible with SATA I and SATA II.

What clearance do the straight locking connectors need inside my case?

Each end has a straight 180-degree connector with a locking latch, so allow enough room for the latch to engage without bending the cable.
