6 SATA Cable Sets with Numbered Links for Multi-Drive Builds
Tracing six similar cables through a chassis takes time, especially when a drive needs to be replaced. The BC-DAG034 6 SATA cable set groups separate data links in a sleeved route and marks the ends with P-numbers, helping an installer follow the intended port-to-drive map without guessing from cable position.
The family also includes smaller sets for two, three, four or five links. Each connection remains an independent seven-pin SATA data path. The sleeve organizes the cables; it does not turn one host port into several ports, share bandwidth through a hub or supply power to the drives.
Choose the Number of Links and End Layout
| Model | Catalogue configuration |
|---|---|
| BC-DAG034-6S | 6 links; straight variant |
| BC-DAG034-6D | 6 links; 90-degree variant |
| BC-DAG034-6L | 6 links; left-angle variant |
| BC-DAG034-5S | 5 links; straight variant |
| BC-DAG034-4S | 4 links; straight variant |
| BC-DAG034-4D | 4 links; 90-degree variant |
| BC-DAG034-4L | 4 links; left-angle variant |
| BC-DAG034-3S | 3 links; straight variant |
| BC-DAG034-3L | 3 links; left-angle variant |
| BC-DAG034-2L | 2 links; left-angle variant |
S, D and L identify catalogue layouts, not a universal installed direction. Compare the keyed mating faces, cable exits and latch access at both ends. Define each end on the drawing when a particular straight-to-angle or angle-to-angle arrangement is required.
Specify the Assembly, Not Just the Cable Count
| Item | Selection basis |
|---|---|
| Interface | Seven-pin SATA cable sockets for compatible host and drive ports |
| Link rate | Up to 6Gbps nominal SATA link rate per compatible connection |
| Identification | P-number labels at the ends; approve the exact numbering and port map |
| Routing | Common sleeved section with exposed branches; dimensions depend on the agreed build |
| Retention | Metal latches visible on the photographed connectors; check mating-port engagement |
| Length | Quote the required total and branch lengths against a controlled drawing |
| Power | Not carried by this data-cable set; provide a separate suitable drive-power connection |
Resolve the Length Before the Order
A bundle can reach the drive cage and still leave one branch too short for its port. Specify the measurement points for the full assembly, sleeve and exposed tails at each end. Also define any staggered branch lengths and the space needed for drive removal.
Do not treat 18 inches, 45cm and the 500mm reference drawing as the same dimension. Eighteen inches is 457.2mm; the catalogue drawing shows a separate 500mm example with a 120mm reference section. Use one approved drawing for your ordered model, with tolerances and connector reference points, rather than mixing these examples into a single standard length.
Match the Controller and Drive Interfaces
These sets suit systems with the appropriate individual SATA data ports, such as directly connected SATA SSDs, HDDs or compatible optical drives. A host needs an available supported connection for each link. A connector on a Mini-SAS HBA or backplane may require a different breakout assembly; a passive SATA set is not that adapter.
The set does not connect directly to an M.2 NVMe or mSATA module and does not convert SATA to SAS or USB. RAID capability, hot-plug behavior and drive detection belong to the controller, firmware and system configuration, not to the P-number labels. If you need individual routing instead, compare the SATA-to-SATA connector layouts or the right-angle SATA cable.
Keep Speed Claims in Context
With compatible equipment, the intended SATA link rate is up to 6Gbps per connection. That is not 6GB/s, a guaranteed file-transfer speed or an aggregate rating for all six drives. Earlier SATA equipment operates at its supported negotiated rate. Drive performance, host limits and the complete cable route still matter.
The catalogue illustrations show shielding layers and conductor construction. Confirm the actual cable material, conductor size, component ratings and any required compliance documents for the quoted assembly. A construction graphic is not evidence of product certification, a completed interference test or a guaranteed operating-temperature range.
Build a Useful Inquiry
Send the host/controller and drive models, number of links, port photos, end orientations, route sketch and expected order quantity. Include the P-number mapping, label text and packing requirements. For projects needing both data leads and power branches in one purchase, the SATA data and power cable combo is a different kit option; it does not remove the need to approve the power source and load.
BespokeCable can review a sample specification with you before production. Confirm the bill of materials, drawing revision, validation scope and commercial terms so repeat orders follow the same connection map, not merely the same cable count.
Choose Your Numbered SATA Cable Set
Start with the required number of independent SATA links, then compare the straight, 90-degree and left-angle catalogue references below. Approve the mating-face view and cable exit at both ends; the model name alone does not confirm clearance in your chassis.
P/N: BC-DAG034-6S
Choose the six-link straight reference when both port groups have suitable entry clearance. P-number labels help trace the individual data paths through the common sleeve. Confirm the total route, breakout lengths and latch access before approving the assembly for your controller and drive cage.
P/N: BC-DAG034-6D
The six-link 90-degree reference offers a different connector exit for a constrained port area. Compare both mating faces with the installed sockets and nearby hardware. Keep space for the release tabs, and define which end requires the angle on your approved drawing.
P/N: BC-DAG034-6L
This six-link left-angle catalogue reference is a starting point for a side-directed route. The apparent direction changes with the port view, so send a keyed-face photo. Confirm the breakout map and individual tail reach rather than selecting the bundle by its name alone.
P/N: BC-DAG034-5S
Use the five-link straight reference when the build calls for five independent SATA data paths. Identify the intended controller ports and drive bays for the P-number labels. Specify the shared sleeve and branch lengths so the kit fits the assembly sequence and service route.
P/N: BC-DAG034-4S
The four-link straight reference keeps a smaller group of data paths in one sleeved route. It is a cable-layout choice, not a four-port controller or RAID function. Check connector clearance and approve the label-to-port mapping for the actual storage layout before ordering.
P/N: BC-DAG034-4D
Consider this four-link 90-degree reference where an angled exit suits the enclosure. Confirm the keyed orientation at both ends and clearance from neighboring data and power sockets. Agree the tail lengths and latch-release space using the sample in the intended chassis.
P/N: BC-DAG034-4L
This four-link left-angle reference provides another routing layout for a compact port group. Match the actual connector face to your equipment before selecting it. Define the P-number map, branch spacing and service allowance so each connection can be identified without straining its socket.
P/N: BC-DAG034-3S
The three-link straight reference is suited to a build requiring three separately mapped SATA connections. Its common sleeve organizes the route while the labeled ends remain individual data links. Confirm each tail reaches its assigned port and that the finished bundle allows drive removal.
P/N: BC-DAG034-3L
Choose the three-link left-angle reference only after reviewing its end geometry against the installed ports. Send connector-face photos when the direction is unclear. Approve the individual branch reach, release-tab access and label map rather than assuming it matches a straight set with a bend.
P/N: BC-DAG034-2L
The two-link left-angle reference offers a smaller numbered bundle for a defined two-connection route. Check the end orientation, tail lengths and available host ports before selection. Power remains separate, and the labels should follow your approved controller-to-drive map rather than an assumed bay order.
Follow the Label, Confirm the Port Map
The six-link straight reference shows P1–P6 identification at the breakout ends and a common sleeved route. Each numbered path still needs its own compatible host connection and drive-side data port.
Agree what every label represents in your system and retain that map with the assembly drawing. Labels help trace a connection; they do not establish a drive-bay number, RAID position or electrical performance by themselves.
Yes. The six-link references contain six separate SATA data paths grouped in a common route. They do not turn one port into six ports or act as a hub, expander or RAID controller. Each required link needs a compatible host connection.
The catalogue lists five-link straight, four-link straight/90-degree/left-angle, three-link straight/left-angle and two-link left-angle references. Confirm the exact BC-DAG034 suffix and end geometry in the order; the number of links alone does not identify the layout.
No. These are seven-pin SATA data connections. Each drive needs its own appropriate power feed, with the source, required rails and load approved separately. The common sleeve does not add a power supply.
They identify individual paths in the reference set. Agree the end-to-end label mapping and how it relates to your controller ports and drive bays. A label does not automatically represent the same number shown by firmware or the operating system.
No. The listing contains different length references. Eighteen inches is 457.2mm, not exactly 45cm; the drawing shows a separate 500mm example. Confirm the ordered total, sleeve and tail dimensions against a single approved drawing with measurement points and tolerances.
Compare the keyed connector face and cable exit with both installed ports. Provide end-on photos or a drawing and check neighboring connectors, enclosure clearance and release-tab access. Do not infer the correct orientation from the catalogue direction name alone.
No. 6Gbps is the nominal SATA link rate for a compatible connection, not 6GB/s or a guaranteed file-copy rate. Drive, host and workload limits determine real throughput. The stated rate is not one shared bandwidth figure for the whole bundle.
The appropriate standard SATA data interface can be used with compatible earlier SATA equipment, but the link operates at the supported negotiated rate. Confirm controller support, cable routing and drive detection in the intended system.
Not as a direct substitute. M.2 NVMe, mSATA and Mini-SAS use different connections. A Mini-SAS controller may need a correctly directed breakout assembly; confirm the controller and target ports before choosing a cable.
No. The photos show metal connector latches, but engagement depends on the mating port and installation. Qualified vibration performance needs an agreed test. Hot-plug operation depends on the complete system and controller configuration, not the cable latch.
Send the required end geometry for each numbered path, label text, total route and individual breakout dimensions. BespokeCable can review the requested configuration and sample specification. Confirm availability and the approved assembly drawing in the quotation.
Include host and drive models, link count, port map, keyed-face photos, lengths, order volume and packing needs. State required validation and material documentation. Sample charges, minimum order quantity and production timing are confirmed for the specific build rather than assumed from the catalogue.

Planning a Numbered SATA Bundle for Serviceable Storage
A tidy bundle is useful only if the next technician can understand it. Plan the connection map and service route together, then use the sample to check that the physical assembly follows both.
Map Logical Ports to Physical Bays
Record the controller port, cable P-number and intended drive bay in one table or drawing. Check the host documentation: a printed motherboard port number, firmware display order and operating-system drive name are not necessarily identical. Keep the map available to assembly and service teams so a replacement drive does not become a tracing exercise.
Measure Both Breakout Zones
Locate where the common sleeve ends and individual tails begin. Short tails may look neat but can make ports at opposite ends of a controller difficult to reach. Long tails can leave loose loops near fans or drive trays. Specify the sleeve length, each tail length and any stagger, then check them with the covers and drive cage fitted.
Review Angles Against Keyed Faces
Supply end-on photos or a drawing rather than relying on “left angle” alone. Check neighboring ports, the separate power connector and access to the release tab. Do not force an angled housing into a port or use cable tension to hold a route in place.
Validate Every Link, Not Just the First Drive
With power isolated, inspect connector fit, pin continuity and the intended end-to-end label mapping against the approved drawing. Then check all required drives in the intended controller and enclosure under an agreed operating test. Define any data-link, thermal or mechanical verification and request the records your project needs. A photo of shielding does not replace those checks.
Control the Repeat Order
Include the model suffix, assembly revision, cable count, dimensions, labels and packing plan in the purchasing description. Ask for sample terms, material declarations, minimum quantity and delivery timing in the quotation. If an enclosure revision changes a port position, review the drawing before assuming the old bundle still fits.
Send the port map and route sketch through the inquiry form. If the host connector differs from the pictured seven-pin SATA interfaces, start with the SATA cable collection so the correct connection family can be reviewed first.
