The SATA12RA1 right angle SATA cable features a standard (straight) female Serial ATA connector as well as a right-angled (female) SATA connector, providing a simple 12-inch connection to a Serial ATA drive, even if space near the drive SATA port is limited.Once the right-angled SATA connector has been inserted into the SATA data port on the drive, the shaft of the cable is seated flush with the rear panel of the drive, eliminating the clutter of excess cable at the connection point - an ideal solution for small or micro form factor computer cases.
