Product Features
Technical Overview
This extension cable utilizes a 22-pin SATA interface, combining 7 pins for data and 15 pins for power in a compact connector design. The 12-inch length provides precise extension without excess cable clutter, ideal for routing in constrained chassis or rack setups. The male connector plugs into existing SATA ports, while the female end accepts standard SATA cables or devices, maintaining signal integrity and power delivery.
Key technical features include damage-resistant and stretch-resistant construction, which enhances durability during installation and maintenance. The flexible PVC material allows easy bending without kinking, supporting clean cable runs. The cable weight is approximately 1.20 oz (34.02 g), adding minimal bulk to systems.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The SATA22PEXT offers several advantages for IT professionals and system builders. Its combined power and data extension reduces cable count, streamlining installations in space-limited environments like small form factor PCs or dense server racks. The strain relief feature protects against connector damage, extending cable lifespan in high-vibration or frequent-access scenarios.
Durability and Flexibility
The PVC jacket and reinforced design resist damage from stretching or bending, ensuring reliable connections even in tight cable management setups.
- Strain relief for connector protection
- Flexible material for easy routing
- Damage-resistant construction
Environmental Compliance
Manufactured to meet strict environmental standards, including RoHS 2, REACH, and WEEE, making it suitable for eco-conscious deployments.
- EU RoHS certified
- Hazardous substance restricted
- WEEE compliant
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for extending SATA connections in desktop computers, servers, NAS devices, and storage arrays where existing cables are too short. It enables repositioning of hard drives or SSDs within cases, improving airflow and accessibility for maintenance. In rack-mounted systems, it helps route cables neatly behind trays or between bays, reducing clutter and enhancing cooling efficiency.
Common use cases include adding extra storage drives in cramped PC builds, connecting backplanes in server chassis, or extending motherboard SATA ports to drive cages. The red color aids in cable identification during troubleshooting or upgrades, while the lifetime warranty supports long-term deployment in commercial or enterprise environments.
Desktop and Server Upgrades
Extend SATA connections to accommodate new drives or reorganize existing storage layouts without replacing entire cable sets.
Data Center and Rack Management
Use in server racks to route cables efficiently between drives and controllers, minimizing obstruction and improving serviceability.
Physical Profile
The cable features a sleek red PVC jacket that is both flexible and durable, allowing it to bend easily around corners without compromising performance. Its 12-inch length is optimized for short extensions, reducing excess cable that can impede airflow or create tangles. The compact 22-pin connectors maintain a low profile, fitting snugly in crowded SATA port clusters on motherboards or backplanes.

User Manual
FAQ
What devices are compatible with this SATA extension cable?
The cable is compatible with SATA hard drives, solid-state drives, motherboards, and backplanes that use standard 22-pin SATA connectors. It supports both power and data transmission, making it suitable for extending connections in desktops, servers, NAS devices, and storage arrays without requiring separate power or data cables.
How long is the cable, and is it suitable for short extensions?
The cable is 12 inches (304.80 mm) long, providing a 1-foot extension. This length is ideal for short reach scenarios, such as repositioning drives within a case, routing cables in tight spaces, or connecting devices where existing cables are slightly too short, without adding excessive slack that can clutter systems.
Does the cable include strain relief, and why is it important?
Yes, the cable features strain relief at both connectors. This design protects the connections from damage caused by bending, pulling, or vibration, which is common during installation or maintenance. Strain relief enhances durability and prevents connector failure, ensuring reliable performance in demanding IT environments.
What environmental certifications does this cable have?
The cable is environmentally friendly and certified to EU RoHS standards. It complies with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) 2, Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE), making it suitable for use in regions with strict environmental regulations.
