SATA data cable — flat, red, up to 1.5 / 3.0 Gbps Key benefits Reliable data transfer: supports up to 1.5 Gbps and 3.0 Gbps, providing stable connections for SATA I and SATA II devices. Spacesaving flat design: the lowprofile, flexible cable routes neatly behind components and in tight enclosures for improved cable management and airflow. Easy installation: standard SATA data connectors ensure simple plugandplay connection between motherboard and drives. Visible color coding: red cable makes drive and cable identification quick during assembly or maintenance. Features and performance Function: SATA data cable for connecting internal storage or optical drives to a motherboard. Data rate: up to 1.5 / 3.0 Gbps (compatible with SATA I and SATA II speeds). Design: flat profile for flexible routing and reduced bulk. Color: red for clear identification. Compatibility: fits standard SATA data ports on motherboards, HDDs, SSDs, and optical drives (note: not rated for 6.0 Gbps SATA III speeds). Common use scenarios Desktop PC build or upgrade: connect a 2.5' or 3.5' HDD or SATA SSD to your motherboard while keeping cables tidy and out of the airflow path. Optical drive installation: attach a SATA DVD/Bluray drive in systems where space behind the drive bay is limited. Small form factor or compact cases: route the flat cable through narrow gaps to maintain clearance for other components and improve cooling. What to expect Standard SATA data connection performance up to SATA II speeds. A flat, flexible red cable that simplifies routing and identification during assembly and maintenance. If you require SATA III (6.0 Gbps) performance, choose a cable specified for 6.0 Gbps. This cable provides reliable SATA I/II connectivity with a spacesaving flat design and clear red coloring.
