Internal cable: From SATA cables to audio cables

Internal cables are used for the connection and power supply within the PC. The internal cables transfer data and power between the individual hardware components. In addition to SATA cables, audio cables, SAS cables and fan cables, there are a few more that are responsible for the inner workings of the PC and are necessary for operation, control, supply and transmission. The most important cables that form the core network of the PC are SATA cables, fan cables, SAS cables and internal USB cables. As a transmission standard, the SATA cable is essential to ensure data exchange between the motherboard and all storage devices such as hard drives, SSDs and optical drives. Compared to the SATA interface, SAS cables offer increased transmission speed, improved reliability and extended functions. This makes the SAS interface particularly interesting for use in professional and business-critical environments. The internal USB cables are also connected to the motherboard. They make it possible to connect various USB ports and other devices within the PC housing from the motherboard. Internal USB connections are needed for front panel USB ports, memory card readers, fan controllers and other internal devices to function. Fan cables are also essential for the PC. They ensure that the fans are supplied with sufficient power and that the temperature of the system can be regulated. 

You can find the right cables for your hardware, whether fan cables, SATA cables, SAS cables and more, at INTOS ELECTRONIC AG®. In addition to connection cables, we also offer extension cables and adapters of all cable types in various lengths and thicknesses and with different connector types.

Cables for the internal power supply

The power supply in the PC is ensured by various internal cables. Mainly ATX cables, PCIe cables or SATA power Y-cables are used for the power supply. The ATX cable supplies the motherboard with the power supply unit and thus ensures that the entire system is supplied with power. ATX power cables play a central role in the power supply of a computer. The correct configuration and connection security of these cables is crucial for the stability and security of the entire system. The quality of the ATX power cable is important as it has to transport high currents. INTOS supplies you with high-quality cables that are well insulated and have stable plug connections to ensure safe power transmission. Our flexible ATX cables can be easily routed inside the case without obstructing the airflow. In addition to the ATX cable, the PCIe power cable plays an important role, especially when powerful expansion cards, such as graphics cards, are to be supplied with additional power. Modern graphics cards and other computing-intensive expansions require this additional cable, as the PCIe slot of the motherboard alone cannot provide enough power to supply them adequately. The SATA power Y-cable enables power to be supplied from a single SATA power connection to multiple SATA devices. Hard drives, SSDs and optical drives can thus be supplied with power.

Internal audio cable

The internal connection cables are completed by the audio cables. They are just as important for the PC architecture as the transmission, connection and power cables. They ensure that audio signals are transmitted between the various components. For example, they play a crucial role in connecting audio sources such as the CD/DVD drive, the sound card and the front panel audio connections. The audio cables are often overlooked, although they are important components in the PC that ensure audio functionality. The quality and reliability of audio playback also depends on the audio cables. You can find a selection of internal audio cables, extensions and adapter cables in our online shop under ‘Audio cables’. These include, for example, front panel audio cables with a 10-pin plug. They allow headphones and microphones to be connected to the front of the PC. The front panel audio cable extension from INTOS is suitable for both HD audio and AC97 audio.
