SATA to eSATA Cable 1 Meter

‌The SATA to eSATA Cable - Type L SATA to Type I eSATA, 20 inches is a specialized cable designed to connect internal SATA devices to external eSATA ports. This cable enables the connection of SATA hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), or optical drives to eSATA-compatible external enclosures or docking stations, facilitating external access to internal storage devices.

Technical Specifications:

Connector A (Type L SATA):

Type: Internal SATA Type L connector (also known as standard SATA connector).

Pin Configuration: 7-pin data connector, used for connecting to the SATA interface on the device's motherboard or internal SATA controller.

Purpose: Plugs into the SATA port of the internal storage device, such as an SSD or HDD, providing the necessary data connection for communication with the eSATA port.

Connector B (Type I eSATA):

Type: External SATA Type I (eSATA) connector.

Pin Configuration: 7-pin connector designed for external use, mirroring the SATA interface but with enhanced durability for external environments.

Purpose: Connects to an eSATA port on an external enclosure or docking station, allowing internal SATA devices to be accessed externally.

Cable Length:

Length: 20 inches (approximately 50.8 cm), providing enough length to connect internal SATA devices to external eSATA ports without excess slack, making it suitable for use in compact or well-organized setups.

Cable Construction:

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

Shielding: Shielded to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring stable and reliable data transmission.

Jacket: Encased in a durable PVC or similar material to protect the internal wires from physical damage and to ensure long-term durability.

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 internal SATA devices.

eSATA Compatibility: Designed for use with eSATA ports and enclosures, allowing for external access to SATA storage devices.

Use Case:

The SATA to eSATA Cable - Type L SATA to Type I eSATA, 20 inches is ideal for connecting internal SATA storage devices to external eSATA enclosures or docking stations. This is particularly useful for users who want to externalize their internal SATA drives for ease of access, data transfer, or backup purposes.
