Yes there is a cable it is approximately 9-12" and is a usb3 cable for the high speed interface. The drive will also work in other USB ports (1.1, 2) just not as fast

This comes with one USB 3.0 cable that is just over 2 feet in length to include the connectors.

eSATA cable does not come with the drive. You can buy one separately for about $20. Figure that into your cost.

No eSATA cable... I thought an eSATA card came with it. Guess I'll have to find one.

No it doesn't come with a usb cable. Didn't bother me cause I have several extras.

Can't remember exactly. The picture in description does indicate it comes with a USB 3.0 cable and DC power supply.What I remember is I don't need to buy a new cable and power supply. The cable I am using has a label USB 3.0 on it. The enclosure has the label SAT3510U3V. The port is labelled USB 3.0. The AC adaptor is output 12V 2.0A.Of course it depends on vendor. You can always go after the vendor if the product doesn't fit the description.

Dear Deborah, it only comes with one cable, which is the attached cable you see in the picture, this is an attached cable that can't be removes. yet there is another free port to connect the cable of your choice as mentioned in the details of the item.

It DOES come with the cable as Humbug answered. However, I do wish the cable was longer. I understand I could go to Walmart and get a longer one . . . but I also understand that Philips could have sold it with a longer cable. Ghez. However, I do enjoy the unit in spite of a few of its quirks.

I know the USB3-to-USB3 cable is included; uncertain (too much time has passed) but I think eSATA is also included (never have used eSATA connection,but I seem to recall having two unused eSATA cables at home -- on the road for the next week!)

The drive description did not state that it came with any cables. It was a bare drive.

no, it does not, you need to buy the cables separately, there are recommendations if you click on this item

On the unit I purchased in March of this year, the cable is 16 feet long. Would seem like something to include in the basic description of the product doesn't it.

YesThe cable you need is provided along with the Anker HD enclosure unit. Worked perfectly for me.You could still use the cable to connect the old SSD as an external drive, so it's not necessarily a one-time use.

No it doesn't include the cables - I made my own or you can by standard lengths. I used these successfully for about 3 years!

I was wondering the same question, and did think about your answer too, and I realised this has to be the case, even though I haven't received the enclosure yet, it doesn't look like it has a power input. So I take it that I can safely buy any eSata cable...

Yes it has the cable, but I don't remember installing anything additional to the PC.

I dont recall what cables were included but I will add that I had to return my unit as it came WITHOUT a hard drive. Id purchase a different brand which includes the hard drive intact. This one requires you to install the hard drive yourself.

My SSD did not come with a cable. I believe there are other items that come with a cable.
