Slimline 13 pin SATA Male to 22 Pin SATA Female Cable Adapter-III

‌The Slimline 13 Pin SATA Male to 22 Pin SATA Female Cable Adapter-III is a specialized adapter cable used primarily to bridge connections between slimline SATA devices, such as slim optical drives, and standard SATA data and power ports found on most motherboards and storage devices.

Key Features:

Slimline 13-Pin SATA Male Connector: The slimline SATA connector features 7 pins dedicated for data transmission and 6 pins for power, making it a 13-pin connector. This connector is typically used in compact devices such as slim optical drives in laptops, ultrabooks, and some desktops. It connects to the slimline device.

22-Pin SATA Female Connector: The 22-pin SATA connector combines the standard 7-pin SATA data connector with a 15-pin power connector. It is used to connect to traditional SATA devices such as hard drives, SSDs, and optical drives, while also facilitating the transmission of power and data from a motherboard or other power source.

Technical Specifications:

Connectors:

One end features a 13-pin SATA male connector.

The other end includes a 22-pin SATA female connector.

Functionality: This adapter cable converts between the slimline 13-pin SATA interface and the standard 22-pin SATA interface. It allows a slimline SATA drive to be connected to a regular desktop SATA port for both power and data transfer.

Use Cases:
