Ultra ATA is the next generation IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) bus. The current IDE bus has a maximum data transfer rate of about 16.5 MB/second. As the bus speeds and disk drive performances increase, the cable assembly between the motherboard and hard drive becomes a limiting factor in data transfer from the drive.

The Ultra ATA connector and cable assembly provide the customer with improved electrical performance by creating a 1:1 signal-to-ground ratio. The connector design incorporates an IDC bus bar to common the 40 additional ground signals. The cable is .025" centerline PVC ribbon cable. The connector is fully backward compatible with existing 40-position headers with pin 20 removed on motherboards and disk drives.
