SATA cable DeLOCK 84518 1 m Black

The DeLOCK 84518 SATA cable is a 1 m black cable with a male-to-female connector layout designed for internal PC connections. It connects SATA devices such as hard drives, SSDs and optical drives to motherboard or controller ports, providing a straightforward point-to-point link for data transfer inside desktop systems and server enclosures. The single-pack cable is intended for replacement or new-build installations where a reliable SATA connection is needed.

Advantages

The cable’s 1 m length offers flexibility in routing behind drive bays and inside mid- to full-tower cases while keeping slack manageable. The male/female connector design simplifies extension and replacement tasks without requiring additional adapters. The black colour helps the cable blend into common PC interiors for a discreet appearance. The cable is suitable for standard SATA interfaces and supports typical SATA signal connections used in consumer and professional systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting internal SATA hard drives (HDD) or solid-state drives (SSD) to a motherboard or SATA controller
• Extending an existing SATA connection where cable length is insufficient
• Replacing a worn or damaged internal SATA cable during PC maintenance or upgrades
• Use in desktop PCs, workstations and small server enclosures requiring standard SATA cabling

How to use

Power off the system and disconnect from mains before installing the cable. Align the SATA connector with the corresponding port on the motherboard or controller and insert firmly but gently until seated. Connect the other end to the SATA device’s data port, ensuring the keyed connector orientation matches the device receptacle. Route the cable to avoid contact with fans and sharp edges and secure it with cable ties if necessary. After connections are made, restore power and verify device detection in the system BIOS or operating system.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for internal data connections only; do not use it as a power cable. Avoid excessive bending or kinking near the connector ends and ensure connectors are clean and free of debris before installation. For best results, inspect connectors periodically and replace the cable if damage or intermittent connections occur.
