Ensure both mating receptacles are standard SATA 7Pin interfaces; do not force the connector if alignment is incorrect to avoid bending pins.
Maintain an adequate bending radius, especially near the right-angle end, to preserve impedance and high-speed performance.
Route the cable away from sharp metal edges and high-current power conductors to minimize insulation wear and electromagnetic interference.
Use cable ties or clips in high-vibration applications so that mechanical load is not transferred directly to the SATA terminals or PCB sockets.
Variants with dual right-angle plugs, multiple parallel cables, or rugged jackets for industrial and automotive environments can be supplied for project and batch orders.
