InLine® 27703R SATA Cable
The InLine® 27703R SATA Cable is a high‑performance internal connection solution designed for modern storage systems. It delivers reliable data transfer at up to 6 Gb/s, making it ideal for both SATA II (3 Gb/s) and SATA III (6 Gb/s) interfaces. With a compact length of 0.30 m (30 cm), this cable fits seamlessly into tight PC cases, server chassis, or NAS enclosures without compromising airflow.
Key Design Features
- Right‑Angled Connector: The cable terminates in a right‑angled (90°) connector, allowing the drive to sit flush against the case wall and reducing cable clutter.
- Circular Cross‑Section: A round, flexible profile minimizes interference with other components and enhances durability during installation or removal.
- Integrated Safety Latch: A built‑in safety latch (Lasche) secures the connector in place, preventing accidental disconnection during operation.
- Blue Color Coding: The cable’s distinctive blue hue aids quick identification and organization within multi‑drive setups.
- High‑Quality Shielding: Internal shielding reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensures signal integrity even in electrically noisy environments.
