22 Pin SATA Male to Female Extension Cable

‌22 Pin SATA Male to Female Extension Cable: Technical Description

The 22 Pin SATA Male to Female Extension Cable is designed to extend the connection between a SATA device and the motherboard or power supply. This cable consolidates both the power and data connections, streamlining the process of extending the reach for SATA-based devices like SSDs, HDDs, or optical drives.

Key Features:

Connector Type:

Male Connector: 22-pin SATA connector, integrating a 15-pin SATA power connection and a 7-pin SATA data connection. This end is designed to plug into the motherboard or power supply's SATA interface.

Female Connector: 22-pin SATA connector that receives the combined power and data connection from the SATA device.

Cable Length:

The length of the cable varies (often available in lengths from 6 inches to 24 inches), offering flexibility in internal cable management by allowing devices to be positioned at different distances from the motherboard or power supply.

Wire Gauge:

Power wires typically use 18 AWG (American Wire Gauge) to ensure stable power delivery, while data wires use 26-28 AWG for reliable data transmission.

Voltage and Current Rating:

Supports standard SATA power voltages of 3.3V, 5V, and 12V. The data transmission adheres to SATA standards, with support for speeds up to 6 Gbps for SATA III devices.

Material:

Conductors: Made of high-quality copper, providing excellent conductivity for both power and data signals.

Insulation: The wires are insulated with PVC, offering durability and resistance to heat and wear, while also protecting against electrical interference.

Compatibility:

The cable is compatible with all SATA devices, including those conforming to SATA I (1.5 Gbps), SATA II (3 Gbps), and SATA III (6 Gbps) standards. It is suitable for use in a wide range of devices, from consumer-grade desktop computers to enterprise-level storage systems.

Applications:

This cable is ideal for situations where the standard SATA connection is not long enough, such as in large computer cases, servers, or custom-built systems. It allows for better cable management, more flexible device placement, and easier installation of SATA devices.

Construction Quality:

The connectors are designed with molded strain relief to protect against wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting durability. The cable itself is flexible, making it easy to route within a case, yet strong enough to resist damage from regular use.

The 22 Pin SATA Male to Female Extension Cable is an essential component for extending the reach of combined SATA power and data connections, ensuring reliable performance and ease of installation in a variety of computer and storage system setups.
