The JacobsParts External SATA Cable is expertly designed to connect eSATA ports on external storage devices, such as hard drives, enclosures, or docking stations, directly to computers, laptops, host controller cards, DVRs, or satellite receiver boxes. Harness blazing fast SATA III speeds of up to 6 Gbps, which surpass those of USB 3.0 drives and most internal DVR hard drives, ensuring secure and reliable connections for rapid data transfers. This high-performance cable is compatible with eSATA-equipped enclosures or docking stations that connect to 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA I, II, or III hard drives. The cable comes with full shielding and is engineered to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise. Its flexible black PVC jacket is durable yet not overly rigid, and the robust molded connectors with easy-grip treads ensure reliable performance and durability. Accommodating up to 100 times more matings than an internal SATA cable, the design promises greater longevity. A cost-effective 2-pack offers spare or superior replacement cables to resolve any connection issues effectively, while the longer length allows convenient placement of external storage devices. Please note, this cable does not supply power to the external hard drive, which must be powered separately
