Product Information

Full details

This kenable 1.5m eSATA cable is designed for users needing to connect external eSATA storage devices to their computer's eSATA controller for high-speed data transfer. The key benefit is its reliable 3Gb/s connection with robust shielding for reduced interference. A minor caveat is the standard 8mm eSATA connector, which may not be compatible with all devices that use a non-standard 10mm connector.

FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?

This eSATA cable supports a maximum data transfer rate of 3Gb/s (or 300 Megabytes per second).

Can I use this cable with a standard internal SATA port?

No, this cable is specifically for eSATA (External SATA) connections and cannot be used with internal SATA ports.

How do I know if my device is compatible with the 8mm connector?

You should check the specifications or manual for your external eSATA device. Most devices use the standard 8mm connector, but some older or specialized devices might use a 10mm connector. If unsure, visually compare the eSATA port on your device to images of standard 8mm eSATA ports.

What does RoHS compliant mean?

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance means the cable is manufactured without certain hazardous materials, making it environmentally friendlier.

Does the cable come with a locking clip?

Yes, the SATA end of the cable features a clip to ensure a secure connection and prevent accidental disconnection.

Is this cable shielded against interference?

Yes, the cable has metal shielding in the connector to provide better protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI).

What is the warranty period for this cable?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's warranty information for specific details, as warranty periods can vary.

Troubleshooting

External device not recognized

Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends. Verify that both the computer and the external device have functioning eSATA ports and that the device is powered on. Confirm that your device uses a standard 8mm eSATA connector.

Slow data transfer speeds

Check if the connected device and the eSATA controller support the maximum 3Gb/s speed. Ensure there are no other bottlenecks in your system. Try a different eSATA port if available.

Intermittent connection or data errors

Ensure the cable's locking clip is securely fastened. Check for physical damage to the cable or connectors. The shielding should help minimize interference, but try moving the cable away from other electronic devices if issues persist.
