SATA 3.0 Data Cable 0.5M Red | Vention 6Gbps Gold-Plated KDDRD
The Vention SATA 3.0 Cable (KDDRD) is a 0.5-metre internal data cable that connects SATA III storage devices to a motherboard or host controller. PC builders, system integrators, and technicians use it to create a reliable data link between HDDs, SSDs, optical drives, and RAID controllers. One end features a 90-degree elbow connector, making it significantly easier to route in tight chassis spaces where a straight plug would sit awkwardly or place strain on the port. The cable carries data at up to 6 Gbps and maintains backward compatibility with SATA II and SATA I devices, so it works across multiple generations of hardware without requiring separate cables for older components.
Key Features & Benefits
- 6 Gbps SATA III Transfer Rate: Supports the full SATA 3.0 bandwidth of 6 Gbps — approximately 600 MB/s — ensuring modern SSDs and high-speed HDDs operate at their rated performance without the cable creating a bottleneck.
- Gold-Plated 7-Pin Interface (15U): Gold plating on the 7-pin connector resists oxidation and maintains low contact resistance over time, contributing to signal integrity and consistent data transfer across extended use.
- 90-Degree Elbow Connector: The right-angle plug on one end reduces lateral stress on the motherboard SATA port and allows cleaner cable routing in compact ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX cases where clearance is limited.
- Locking Latch on Both Connectors: A retention clip on each end holds the connector firmly in place, preventing accidental disconnections caused by vibration, system movement, or cable tension during maintenance.
- Aluminium Foil Shielding: The cable jacket wraps tinned copper conductors in aluminium foil shielding, reducing electromagnetic interference from nearby components and maintaining stable signal quality.
