Specifications

This is the RD3XP Gladiator rounded IDE cable, which actually looks identical to other rounded IDE cables. If there is something special about it, you can't really tell from the outside.

This cable is roughly 67 centimetres long (for this RD3XP-A52K model). However, according to the information printed on the side of the box, this cable is supposed to be 70 centimetres long. Did 3 cm get chopped off?

Not so. According to IOSS...

Note : Regarding length, VICS treat actual wire material length as spec. length.
This means it will be 30-40mm shorter then you measure the cable length between connector to connector.
So, RD3XP-A52K, for example, motherboard side connector inside edge to master drive connector inside edge length would be 66-67cm with our tolerance.

I'm expected this rounded IDE cable to be available in a variety of colours but according to IOSS, only black coloured RD3XPs are available. Here is a screenshot of available RD3XP product models.

The RD3XP Gladiator supports all ATA-133 drives and are backward compatible with ATA-100, ATA-66 and so on.
