Question Help identifying parts

[PH-Bench]

Hello friends, I would like help identifying a computer hardware part and/or locating where to buy it. I used to have a great place here in Brooklyn called CablesOnline (even though the name says online, they had a great shop in Bay Ridge). However, I need to be pointed in the correct direction to whoever is selling stuff and connectors like this one. Also, does anybody know what this one (the USB back pane) is called? I could not even search for it on eBay, Amazon, or anywhere else.
On the other side of this USB back pane, there needs to be options to connect, in this case, I am trying to connect to Slim Blu-ray SATA connection. However, I would like to see options.
Does anybody know of an online place to buy these parts?

Thanks for any help!

USB Type B, a very common cable. Generally used for printers and other output/input peripherals like credit card machines and scanners.

Looks to me like a USB2.0 Type-B port;

Hi, I am not looking for a cable. I am looking for the USB back pane server part.

I'm not used to your term, "USB Back Pane". What you show in the photo is a USB2 Type B socket mounted in a small plate that fits into a case opening like what is on a rear panel behind some PCIe slots. But MAYBE what you show is the back panel of the Blu-Ray drive?? Such a socket is used with a matching cable to connect ONLY the data signals from this device to a computer USB2 Type A port. It does NOT include the DC power lines of a common Type A socket, and is used only on devices that have a separate connection to a power source from the PSU or from a "power brick".

It's not clear what you are trying to connect. You say, "I am trying to connect to Slim Blu-ray SATA connection". IF the Slim Blu-Ray actually IS a SATA device to be connected to something, than it will have TWO board edge connectors on it already. One is the wider SATA power connector, and the other a separate SATA data connector. The DATA connector uses its own cable type to go to a SATA data port on the mobo.

Now, there's a similar system for connecting external SATA devices (like an external SATA hard drive in an enclosure) to a computer socket on its back panel or in a plate in a PCIe slot space. Typically these are used as eSATA ports, and they connect to an eSATA header on the mobo. However, many mobos started using a slightly different SATA controller chip system that supplies actual eSATA data ports to simplify these external connections. My computer is this way. So the simple system now is: I have a small back panel plate in an unused PCIe slot cover space with an eSATA socket. On the inside that plate simply has a cable that goes to a mobo plain SATA port. The external case is designed as an eSATA enclosure device with its own power brick for power to what is mounted inside. I have a real SATA HDD in it. BUT that same enclosure might have an optical drive designed as a SATA device mounted in it. That would give the optical drive the power (from the power bick) and data connections (to a mobo SATA header via the adapter plate and socket). Then the optical drive would appear simply as a SATA device in the computer.

Is that what you are trying to do? Is that "Slim Blu-ray SATA" unit actually a SATA optical drive you need to connect to a mobo SATA data header AND a power supply?

If you want an optical drive, I switched to using external ones over ten years ago. They are just USB, even powered over USB (two connections). More recent ones can probably use USB 3.1 or 3.2 with power delivery or type-C.

Or are you wanting to put a slim optical drive in a PCIe expansion slot? That would be a little hard to mount, but then you would connect it to the motherboard as normal. SATA power and SATA data.

eSATA had a brief lifespan, pretty much universally replaced by faster USB standards. Someone probably makes a SATA to eSATA adapter cable though. But as mentioned you would still need power for the drive.

Thanks to you both for the reply. Paperdoc, I am not either...
Eximo, I need this based my clients space and what is already here. I would say the same thing.
Yes I am trying to get the exact name for part pictured. I am interested in where you can buy parts like that. I need the option that I think is called USB bridge to SATA but from that type of connection. I used to find more stuff online that showed parts to buy that could be configured by possibly connection multiple. I mean different SATA, adapters, etc.

If that link you posted from ebay has what your looking for and if that's what the client needs and wants. Buy the whole unit on ebay and just pass the cost on to client.

On a part like your looking for sometimes the part alone is the same as the one with unit listed on that ebay page.

Honestly I would just buy an external Blue Ray mount it inside the device your trying to make this happen. Use internal power and just fish the USB cable out of the back of the unit.

Is that not the end result if you were to actually find this part anyways or if that is the exact part you need in the ebay page.

I'm still not clear what you are trying to do. You are showing one thing, but I don't know exactly what you want to connect to it.

USB internal header to Type-B isn't really necessary for anything. Many Type-B cables have a Type A connector on the other end. And by no means does that let you connect SATA up to it.

If you need to connect a SATA drive to a USB port, one way would be to strip the guts out of a SATA HDD dock.

Wasteful, because you could just buy a USB optical drive.
