Black Round SATA Cables for Repeat System Builds
Keep internal storage wiring consistent with a black, round SATA data cable built around your enclosure layout. BC-DAG002 pairs straight, latched 7-pin connectors with a round black jacket for motherboard-to-drive installations.
- 7-pin SATA female connectors at both ends.
- Straight connector bodies with metal retention latches.
- Black round cable and black PVC overmolding.
- Gold-plated contacts; construction to agreed specifications.
- Up to 6Gb/s with a suitable cable length, host, and drive.
- We review custom length requests for the intended installation.
- Data only: the drive needs a separate power connection.
Send your routed length, port photos, and order quantity for a configuration-specific quotation.
BC-DAG002 Configuration and Ordering Details
SATA 6Gb/s Cable with Black Round Jacket
BC-DAG002 is an internal SATA data cable for buyers who want a round black cable instead of a flat ribbon-style lead. The photographed configuration has a straight 7-pin female connector and a metal latch at each end. It connects a compatible SATA motherboard or controller port to a SATA HDD, SSD, or optical drive.
For repeat equipment builds, start with the right cable length, not the longest available. Choose the length that follows the intended route, keeps the connectors accessible, and avoids excess cable beside fans or drive trays. We can review a drawing, existing sample, or installation photo to define that build.

Where the Round Cable Fits
Consider this construction for desktop systems, workstations, or equipment enclosures with SATA storage and space for straight connector exits. A round jacket can suit how your assembly groups and supports its wiring, but its shape alone doesn’t provide better shielding, faster transfers, or a smaller bend radius than another cable.
If the case forces an immediate turn behind a drive, compare the right-angle SATA cable options before choosing a straight lead and sharply folding it. For a different cable profile or connector arrangement, review the BC-DAG001 SATA data cable.
Define the Order Before Comparing Prices
Include the required length and measurement references, endpoint orientation, host and drive models, quantity, and any identification or packing requirements. Add environmental limits or required compliance documents if they are part of your project. These details let us quote a defined assembly rather than a cable that only looks similar.
Straight Ends with Accessible Metal Latches
The product photo shows straight connector exits and metal retention clips at both ends. Leave room behind each port for the connector body and cable to curve naturally, and keep the release clips accessible after assembly.
The round black lead is intended for an installed storage connection. Do not assume a continuous-flex rating, vibration qualification, or minimum bend radius based on its appearance. If the cable will move repeatedly, tell us the travel and duty cycle so we can review a suitable construction.
A suitable SATA data connection can operate at the rate supported by the host and drive. A 6Gb/s cable does not force a 3Gb/s drive to run faster. Confirm the physical ports and test the intended equipment combination.
Not directly. BC-DAG002 terminates in standard 7-pin SATA cable connectors, not an M.2 socket. An NVMe device uses a different interface; a passive connector change doesn’t convert the protocol.
No. This is a point-to-point data lead, not a splitter. A multi-drive connection needs an appropriate controller or backplane architecture; splitting the data conductors is not a supported substitute.
Any added interface becomes part of the complete connection and can affect signal quality and mechanical retention. Provide the adapter and total route details for review. A cable rating by itself does not validate the extended assembly.
The product is an internal SATA lead. Do not assume it provides the connector protection or installation arrangement needed for an external storage device. Specify the external enclosure and interface before selecting a cable.
A latch can help retain a correctly mated connector, but it does not prove vibration qualification. For a machine installation, provide the environment, strain-relief arrangement, and required validation criteria before ordering.
Yes. List each length, its measurement reference, quantity, and any identifying label separately. We can review the set as one project while keeping each cable configuration clear in the quotation and packing plan.
Send photos of both connector faces and the full cable, plus its dimensions and the equipment application. A physical sample may also help define the replacement you’re requesting. Visual similarity alone does not establish identical internal construction.
Provide the proposed length, expected order quantity, and any nonstandard requirements. Ask for sample availability, sample charges, minimum order quantity, and production timing in the quotation. These commercial details depend on the agreed build.

Buying a SATA 6Gb/s Cable: Specify the Connection, Not Just the Speed
A storage cable can be a small line item in a bill of materials and still cause an inconvenient fit problem during assembly. For BC-DAG002, treat the round cable profile, straight connector exits, and required route as one selection decision. Then confirm the electrical requirements for that specific build.
Understand what 6Gb/s describes
The rating describes SATA interface signaling, not a guaranteed file-copy result. It is not 6GB/s. Drive capability, controller behavior, encoding, and the workload affect the useful data rate. A cable cannot turn a slower storage device into a faster one, and a successful device-detection check alone does not establish sustained transfer performance.
When comparing samples, use the same host port, drive, and workload. Record the negotiated link rate and any link errors as well as transfer results. That gives your engineering or purchasing team a more useful comparison than a single benchmark screenshot without test conditions.
Keep custom length tied to an approved build
Measure along the route with the drive mounted and the cover in place. Allow for connector bodies, latch access, and a modest service allowance. Tell us whether your drawing measures overall length or uses mating references; those dimensions are not interchangeable.
An unusually long lead changes the electrical channel and the physical layout. Request a review of the exact length and construction rather than assuming every custom length carries the same 6Gb/s performance. If you can’t shorten the route, discuss the storage architecture with the equipment designer before treating a longer passive cable as the solution.
Ask for evidence that matches the requirement
If shielding construction, temperature limits, or contact plating matter to your design, include them in the purchasing specification. A black jacket does not identify the shielding layers inside, and gold-colored contacts do not indicate plating thickness. Likewise, a factory management certificate is not a performance certificate for a particular cable assembly.
Agree on the required inspection or test scope before a production order. For example, your project may need dimensional checks, an approved connector drawing, material declarations, or high-speed verification for a defined setup. Availability and scope should be confirmed for the quoted part, not inferred from general cable-family descriptions.
Make service instructions part of the build
Power down before installing or removing the lead unless the equipment manufacturer specifies a supported hot-swap procedure. Align the keyed SATA connector, seat it without forcing it, and release the latch before removal. Keep ties loose enough to avoid deforming the cable, and avoid placing strain directly on either connector.
BC-DAG002 carries data only. Specify the separate SATA power connection according to the drive and power source. For a mixed storage project, the SATA cable collection can help separate data leads, power leads, and combined assemblies before you send an inquiry.
