#1 why on earth are SATA cables rated at 300 volts?
#2 how far can you safely (data transfer wise) bend or twist a SATA cable? (at certain points, like the middle of the cable, the connector ends of the cable)
#3 good idea or bad idea to use the cable shown?
the metal is exposed under the insulation.
zoomed in:
Is this a good question?

If you don't have any exposed metal showing, it should be fine.
Was this answer helpful?
So, the orange cable is a goner.
It maybe OK, the orange outer sheath covers the discreet wires which are shielded.
OK. as long as the shield is not punctured?
Each wire is shielded independently. The shields are tied together and the lines go to the pins. I would take a Ohm meter to check continuity and make sure the lines aren't shorted to the shields.

@mayer I was just wondering If I would be able to use that one if needed or if it may result in corruption due to the exposed cable.
