SATA III data cable Cablexpert CC-SATAM-DATA90-0.3M, 0.3 m, male-to-male, pink

Cablexpert CC-SATAM-DATA90-0.3M is a 0.3 m SATA III male-to-male data cable in pink designed for internal PC connections between motherboards or controller cards and SATA storage devices such as HDDs and SSDs. The cable implements standard Serial ATA signaling and supports SATA III transfer rates while remaining backward compatible with SATA II devices. Its combination of a straight and a 90° angled connector allows flexible routing in compact cases and tight drive bays. The product is supplied as a single cable and conforms to RoHS environmental requirements.

Advantages

The cable offers SATA III performance up to the standard maximum transfer rates and backward compatibility with earlier SATA generations, enabling straightforward upgrades and data transfers without changing controllers. The 0.3 m length reduces internal clutter and improves airflow in small form-factor builds. The mixed connector orientation (straight and 90°) facilitates installation in confined spaces and helps prevent cable strain at the connector. The pink color provides visual identification of the SATA link among other internal cables.

Suitable for

• Connecting internal HDDs and SSDs to a motherboard or SATA controller
• Upgrading or replacing drive data cables in desktop PCs and NAS enclosures
• Compact PC builds and small form-factor cases where angled connectors improve routing
• Quick identification of data links during maintenance or system assembly

Key specifications

• Interface: Serial ATA (SATA) III signaling compatible
• Maximum supported transfer rate: up to 6 Gbit/s (SATA III)
• Backward compatibility: SATA II
• Connector configuration: one straight SATA male connector and one 90° angled SATA male connector
• Length: 0.3 m
• Cable type: flat data cable
• Color: pink
• Compliance: RoHS

How to use

Power off the computer and disconnect it from the mains before installing the cable. Align the keyed SATA connectors with the SATA data ports on the motherboard or controller and on the drive; maintain the correct orientation to avoid bending the connector pins. Use the angled end where space is limited and the straight end where direct access is available. After connecting, route the cable to avoid sharp bends or contact with fans and secure it with cable ties if necessary. Reconnect power and power on the system to verify drive detection in BIOS/UEFI or the operating system.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid excessive bending near the connectors and keep cable length appropriate for the installation to minimize signal reflections. Use the 90° connector on drives mounted with restricted clearance, and consider SATA III-capable ports on the motherboard to utilize full transfer speeds. Replace cables showing visible damage or intermittent connectivity to prevent data transfer errors.
