SATA Cable Angle to Angle - 3 Inches

T‌he SATA Cable Angle to Angle - 3 Inches is a compact and flexible data cable designed for connecting SATA devices in tight or constrained spaces. This cable features angled connectors at both ends, making it ideal for installations where straight connectors might not fit due to limited space or awkward positioning within a computer case or server.

Technical Specifications:

Connector A (SATA Angle Connector):

Type: 7-pin SATA data connector with a right-angle or left-angle design.

Pin Configuration: 7 pins for data transfer.

Orientation: The angle (either right or left) of this connector helps facilitate connections in cramped spaces, reducing stress on the cable and connectors by minimizing the need for tight bends.

Purpose: Designed to plug into a standard SATA port on the motherboard or SATA controller.

Connector B (SATA Angle Connector):

Type: 7-pin SATA data connector with a complementary angle to Connector A (e.g., if Connector A is a right-angle, Connector B would typically be a left-angle, or vice versa).

Pin Configuration: 7 pins for data transfer.

Orientation: Matches the orientation of Connector A but oriented differently to facilitate optimal cable routing in tight spaces.

Purpose: Connects to the SATA port on a storage device such as an SSD or HDD.

Cable Length:

Length: 3 inches (approximately 7.6 cm), providing just enough length to bridge the gap between tightly spaced SATA ports and devices without excess slack, ideal for compact builds or server environments.

Cable Construction:

Wire Gauge: Typically constructed with high-quality 26 AWG or 28 AWG wires to ensure reliable data transfer and minimal signal degradation.

Shielding: Often shielded to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensure stable, high-speed data transmission.

Jacket: Encased in a flexible PVC or braided nylon jacket to withstand physical stress and protect the internal wires from wear and tear.

Compatibility:

SATA Standards: Supports SATA I (1.5 Gbps), SATA II (3 Gbps), and SATA III (6 Gbps) data transfer rates, making it compatible with a wide range of SATA devices and controllers.

Data Transfer: Capable of high-speed data transfer, maintaining optimal performance for modern SSDs and HDDs.

Use Case:

The SATA Cable Angle to Angle - 3 Inches is particularly useful in environments where space is limited and traditional straight SATA cables are difficult to connect. It is ideal for compact or high-density computer builds, such as small form factor (SFF) PCs, server racks, or custom cases where cable management and space efficiency are crucial.

This cable helps to simplify installations and connections by allowing for a cleaner and more organized setup, reducing strain on connectors and minimizing the risk of damage to cables and ports. It is also beneficial in scenarios where devices are mounted close together, such as in multi-drive arrays or RAID configurations, where traditional cables may be too stiff or long.
