100CM SATA3 Data Cable Straight to Right Angle

Introduction

This SATA 3 data cable is a type of cable used to connect storage devices such as hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), and optical drives to a computer's motherboard. SATA stands for Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, and it is a standard interface used for data transfer between the storage device and the computer.

SATA 3 is the third generation of SATA technology, which offers faster data transfer rates compared to its predecessors, SATA and SATA 2. SATA 3 data cables are designed to support this faster data transfer speed and are backward compatible with SATA and SATA 2 devices.

SATA 3 data cables typically have a thin, flat design and feature seven pins that connect to the storage device and motherboard. They are available in various lengths, and some may come with locking clips or latches to ensure a secure connection.

It's essential to use a SATA 3 data cable when connecting SATA 3 devices to ensure optimal performance. Using an older SATA or SATA 2 cable may limit the data transfer speed of the SATA 3 device.

Specifications

• Length: SATA 3 cables are available in different lengths, typically ranging from 0.25M to 1M. The length you choose will depend on the distance between the storage device and the motherboard.
• Connector type: A SATA 3 cable has two connectors: one for the storage device and the other for the motherboard. Both connectors are 7-pin female connectors.
• Data transfer rate: SATA 3 cables support a maximum data transfer rate of 6 Gbps (Gigabits per second), which is twice the speed of SATA 2.
• Cable material: made of flexible, high-quality materials that are designed to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk.
• Colour: This SATA 3 cable is in Red colour.
• Compatibility: SATA 3 cables are backward compatible with SATA and SATA 2 devices, but using an older cable may limit the data transfer speed of the SATA 3 device.
• One side features a 90-degree angle, allowing it to fit in tight spaces or cases where a straight cable may not be suitable. Right angle SATA cables are often used in compact computer cases, where space is limited and a straight SATA cable may not fit comfortably. They can also be useful in situations where the SATA port on the motherboard or storage device is located in a hard-to-reach area, making it difficult to connect a straight cable.
