The CASATAL-8 is a 8-inch latching Serial ATA Cable with straight to straight connectors. The cable assemblies provide a secure connection every time. The Serial ATA cable is smaller, more flexible and therefore easier to route inside a chassis. With the trend toward miniaturization, these characteristics are beneficial in many product designs. The cable features two shielded 26AWG pairs in a PVC jacket, gold-plated contacts and two straight polarized seven position connectors.
