2. Product Features

• Integrated Design: Combines SATA 22-pin (15+7 pin) data and power into a single cable, eliminating the need for separate data and power cables.
• High-Speed Data Transfer: Supports SATA III 6 Gbps data transfer rates, backward compatible with SATA I and SATA II. Actual transfer speed is dependent on the connected device's rating.
• Broad Compatibility: Compatible with various SATA devices including hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), optical drives, DVD burners, and PCI cards.
• Power Connectivity: Features an IDE 4-pin to SATA 15-pin power connection, supporting multi-voltage compatibility.
• Hot-Plugging Support: Designed for hot-plugging without requiring driver installation.
• Durable Construction: The flat SATA data cable has a soft sheath for flexible installation, and the power cord is covered with an insulated braided sheath to prevent heat generation.
• Length: Each cable measures 50cm (19.7 inches) in length.

3. Installation Guide

Follow these steps to properly install the XMSJSIY SATA 6G Data and Power 2-in-1 Extension Cable:

1. Prepare Your System: Ensure your computer is powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet before opening the case.
2. Locate Connectors: Identify the SATA data port on your motherboard or host controller and an available IDE 4-pin power connector from your power supply unit (PSU).
3. Connect to Device: Connect the SATA 22-pin (15+7 pin) end of the cable to your SATA hard drive, SSD, or optical drive. Ensure the connection is firm and the stainless steel clip engages securely.

4. Connect Data to Motherboard: Plug the 7-pin SATA data connector into an available SATA port on your motherboard or host controller.
5. Connect Power to PSU: Connect the IDE 4-pin power connector to an available IDE 4-pin power cable from your PSU.
6. Cable Management: Route the cable neatly within your computer case to ensure proper airflow and prevent interference with other components. The flat design of the data cable assists with organization.
7. Secure and Power On: Close your computer case, plug in the power cord, and power on your system. The connected device should now be recognized by your operating system.

4. Operation

Once installed, the XMSJSIY SATA 6G Data and Power 2-in-1 Extension Cable operates automatically to provide both data transfer and power to your connected SATA device.

• Data Transfer: The cable facilitates high-speed data communication between your motherboard/host controller and the SATA device.
• Power Delivery: It supplies the necessary electrical power from your PSU to the SATA device.
• Plug and Play: The cable supports plug-and-play functionality, meaning no additional drivers are typically required for basic operation.
• Hot-Plugging: This cable supports hot-plugging, allowing you to connect or disconnect compatible SATA devices while the system is running, provided your motherboard and operating system also support this feature.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your XMSJSIY SATA 6G Data and Power 2-in-1 Extension Cable, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Device Not Detected:
  • Ensure all cable connections (SATA data, SATA power, IDE power) are securely seated.
  • Verify that the SATA port on your motherboard is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI settings.
  • Test the cable with a different SATA device or test the device with a different SATA cable to isolate the problem.
• Slow Data Transfer Speeds:
  • Confirm that both your motherboard's SATA port and the connected device support SATA III (6 Gbps). The cable's speed is limited by the slowest component.
  • Check for updated motherboard drivers.
• Power Issues:
  • Ensure your power supply unit (PSU) has sufficient wattage to power all connected devices.
  • Verify the IDE 4-pin power connection from the PSU is functional.
