SATA data cable ShiverPeaks BS78246-0.5Y 6 Gb/s, yellow, 0.5 m

Straight SATA data cable ShiverPeaks BS78246-0.5Y is a 0.5 m internal connection cable designed for SATA III links with a rated transfer speed up to 6 Gb/s. The cable's compact length and right-angle/straight connector configuration make it suitable for tight or standard PC cases, enabling reliable connections between motherboards or controller cards and 2.5"/3.5" HDDs and SSDs. The yellow jacket provides clear identification within cable runs and system builds where color-coding helps with assembly and maintenance.

Advantages

The cable supports SATA III speeds up to 6 Gb/s for high-throughput data transfers and is made for internal PC use where short, reliable links are needed. Its 0.5 m length reduces excess cable clutter and improves airflow in compact cases. The standardized SATA connectors ensure compatibility with a wide range of motherboards, controllers and storage drives. The visible yellow color simplifies cable routing and identification during installation and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Connecting 2.5" and 3.5" HDDs and SSDs to motherboard SATA ports
• Compact PC builds and small form-factor systems where short cable length is required
• Environments where color-coded internal cabling improves organization and maintenance

Key specifications

• Interface: SATA III (6 Gb/s)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: straight SATA data connectors
• Use: internal PC connection for storage devices
• Cable color: yellow

How to use

Power off the system and disconnect from mains before installing the cable. Align the SATA connectors with the corresponding ports on the motherboard or controller and the drive, then press the connector gently until it seats. Ensure the cable is not kinked and route it to avoid interference with fans or moving parts. After installation, reconnect power and verify that the drive is detected in BIOS/UEFI or the operating system. For paired power connection, use a separate SATA power cable from the PSU; this product provides data transfer only.

Usage recommendations

The cable is intended for internal use only; avoid exposure to moisture or excessive heat. For best signal integrity, use this 0.5 m cable when a short connection is available and avoid running data cables parallel to high-power lines. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if any connector deformation or severe abrasion is present.
