The ACT SATA connection cable, 1 meter, Red is an essential internal computer cable designed to establish reliable data transfer links between storage drives such as HDDs and SSDs and the motherboard. Measuring 1 meter in length, this red SATA cable provides sufficient reach for most standard desktop PC cases, allowing for neat cable routing and efficient interior organization. Built to meet standard technical requirements, it ensures stable and secure communication between hardware components.

Advantages

This ACT SATA connection cable offers a dependable physical link that helps maintain steady data transmission speeds within your computer system. The bright red colour assists in easy cable identification during assembly, maintenance, or troubleshooting inside the PC chassis. Its standard S-ATA data connectors on both ends ensure wide compatibility with most modern motherboards and internal storage drives. The 1-meter length is particularly useful for larger computer cases where shorter cables might fall short or create tension.

• Desktop PC assembly and system upgrades
• Replacing damaged or missing internal data cables
• Organizing internal PC wiring in mid-tower or full-tower cases

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for external connections or power supply delivery, as it transmits data signals only. It may also be unnecessarily long for compact small form factor cases, where excess cable length could obstruct airflow.

How to use

Power down your computer and disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet before opening the PC case. Locate an available SATA port on your motherboard and the SATA data port on your storage drive. Insert one end of the ACT SATA connection cable into the motherboard port until it clicks securely into place, then connect the other end to the storage drive. Ensure the cable is routed safely away from cooling fans and sharp edges to prevent physical damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your motherboard and storage drives feature standard S-ATA data connections
• Measure the distance inside your PC case to ensure a 1-meter cable length is appropriate
• Confirm whether you need a straight or angled connector based on your hardware layout

Handle the connectors with care during installation and avoid sharp bending or pinching of the cable to ensure long-term data transfer reliability.
