Physical & electrical compatibility
For compatible SATA host and device data connectors only; it is not a SATA power cable. Confirm connector geometry against the cable in hand and leave clearance for its bends; never force a keyed connector against a drive cage or motherboard heatsink. Data generation and link rate are negotiated by host and device.
Archival & handling notes
Record the 12-inch length and connector geometry visible on the actual cable. Avoid sharp bends; inspect latch, keyed L-shape, and conductors before installation.
Record provenance, condition, label photographs, exact full part number/revision, host system, and any test method/result. Preserve packaging and source documents with the cable when available.
