I don't understand your question. Please clarify what you are trying to do.
If you are just trying to replace the hard drive in your laptop, refer to
the laptop manual. If you don't have one, look on the laptop mftr.'s
website for the service manual.

The Serial ATA computer bus is a storage-interface for connecting host bus
adapters (most commonly integrated into laptop computers and desktop
motherboards) to mass storage devices (such as hard disk drives and optical
drives).

Conceptually, SATA is a 'wire replacement' for the older AT Attachment
standard (ATA). Serial ATA host-adapters and devices communicate via a
high-speed serial cable.

SATA offers several compelling advantages over the older parallel ATA
interface: reduced cable-bulk and cost (8 pins vs 80 pins), faster and more
efficient data transfer, and the ability to remove or add devices while
operating (hot swapping).

As of 2009, SATA has all but replaced the legacy ATA (retroactively renamed
Parallel ATA or PATA in all shipping consumer PCs. PATA remains dominant in
industrial and embedded applications dependent on CompactFlash storage.

I hope that was the information you were looking for. A simple GOOGLE
search found that information in less than ONE SECOND.

Most laptops do not have hard drive cables of any type - they plug directly
into a slot on the motherboard or an adapter goes on the drive connectors
and that adapter connects to the motherboard.
