The SATA series in computer cables stands for Serial ATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment), facilitating data transmission between the motherboard and various storage devices, such as hard drives and optical drives. SATA offers faster transfer speeds and supports hot-swappable functionality, allowing devices to be connected and disconnected without shutting down the system.

Additionally, SATA uses embedded timing signals for enhanced error correction capabilities. This system can detect and automatically correct errors in transmitted instructions and data, significantly improving the reliability of data transmission.
