Power cable Lenovo SATA power cable with 290mm – SATA power lead 290 mm length

Lenovo SATA power cable with 290mm is a dedicated SATA power lead designed to deliver the required 3.3V, 5V and 12V rails to SATA hard drives, solid-state drives and optical drives. The 290 mm length provides a predictable routing inside desktop PCs or rack servers and helps position drives without excess slack. The cable is manufactured to be compatible with standard SATA power connectors and intended for internal device power delivery.

Advantages

This SATA power lead offers a fixed 290 mm length that simplifies cable planning in systems where measured cable routing is important. It supports the three common SATA power rails used by storage and optical devices, ensuring proper voltage delivery. The connector interfaces follow SATA mechanical standards to maintain compatibility with typical drive power ports. The cable construction is aimed at stable internal power transmission and straightforward installation in confined chassis spaces.

Suitable for

• Powering 3.5" and 2.5" SATA hard disk drives and SATA SSDs
• Providing power to internal SATA optical drives
• Replacing worn or missing SATA power leads during system maintenance
• Cable routing in desktop towers, small form factor systems, and rack-mounted servers

Key specifications

• Cable type: SATA power lead for internal devices
• Length: 290 mm (fixed)
• Supported voltage rails: 3.3 V, 5 V and 12 V
• Connector: standard 15-pin SATA power connector
• Intended use: internal power delivery to SATA drives and compatible devices

How to use

Ensure the system power is switched off and disconnected from mains before connecting the cable. Route the 290 mm SATA power cable from the power supply area to the drive bay, align the 15-pin connector with the drive's power socket and press gently until it seats. Verify secure seating and avoid forcing the connector at an angle. After installation, tidy the cable to prevent interference with fans or other components, then reconnect mains power and power on the system to confirm drive recognition and proper operation.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable in environments where a defined 290 mm length aids neat internal routing. Avoid excessive bending near the connector and keep the cable away from sharp edges. If a drive requires 3.3V functionality, confirm the power supply and device compatibility before use. Replace the cable if any insulation damage or connector deformation is observed.
