FAQs
What is the difference between SATA and eSATA cables?
SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) cables transmit high-speed data between the computer's motherboard and storage devices. eSATA cables are designed to connect external serial ATA devices such as drives and are available in 0.5, 1, or 2-meter lengths with full shielding. eSATA to SATA II latching cable assemblies connect eSATA external drives or enclosures to SATA II enabled systems.
What connector types are available for FireWire cables?
IEEE-1394 FireWire cable assemblies are available with Type 1 (6-position) to Type 1 (6-position), Type 1 (6-position) to Type 2 (4-position), or Type 2 (4-position) to Type 2 (4-position) connectors supporting transfer rates up to 400 Mbps. IEEE-1394b FireWire cables with Type B (9-position) to Type 1 (6-position), Type B (9-position) to Type 2 (4-position), or Type B (9-position) to Type B (9-position) provide a higher transfer rate of 800 Mbps with simple plug-and-play connections.
What are DIN cables used for?
L-com supplies double-shielded 5-pin DIN cable assemblies in lengths ranging from 3 ft to 25 ft for a wide range of applications, including control interface, MIDI, and power supply connections. Premium and economy series 6-pin and 8-pin mini-DIN cables are either double shielded or 360-degree fully shielded. Molded Y cables with a mini-DIN male connector on one end and two mini-DIN female connectors on the other end are available for KVM, PC peripherals, and keyboard/mouse conversion.
What SCSI cable types does L-com offer?
L-com's SCSI cable range features SCSI-1, SCSI-2, SCSI-3, and ultra SCSI (SCSI-5) assemblies tailored for data transfer, hard disk drives, and storage applications. SCSI-1 cables have Centronics 50-position (CN50) connectors on both ends, SCSI-2 cables utilize half-pitch DB50 (HPDB50) connectors, and SCSI-2 adapter cables have HPDB50 on one side and DB50 on the other. SCSI-3 cables have HPDB68 connectors on both ends, SCSI-5 cables include 0.8mm pitch VHDCI high-density connectors, and SCSI-5 adapter cables are available in VHDCI to HPDB50 and VHDCI to HPDB68 configurations.
What lengths are available for SATA cables?
Latching SATA cable assemblies are available in 8, 12, 16, 18, 24, and 36-inch lengths that provide a more secure connection and prevent accidental disconnections. SATA extension cables are also available in 12 and 20-inch lengths that can be used to extend SATA cables as well as create space in tightly packed areas where bulky disk-on-modules (DOMs) are difficult to connect.
How do I choose between straight and right-angle SATA connectors?
SATA cables feature tight-pitch 7-position connectors that save space compared to larger parallel ATA connectors and are available in straight-to-straight or straight-to-right-angle orientations. The choice depends on your specific installation requirements and equipment layout.
What are slimline SATA cable assemblies?
Slimline SATA cable assemblies feature compact power and data connector plugs, which directly connect into a slimline data drive and split into a standard latching SATA cable plus a 4-position power connector.
Are waterproof FireWire cables available?
Yes. L-com has IP67-rated, waterproof 6-position IEEE 1394 male-to-male and male-to-female FireWire cable assemblies in stock that are ideal for use in places where protection from dust and moisture is needed. Waterproof USB/FireWire covers with a rubber lanyard are also available to protect unused ports from water/contamination damage.
