First google hit "SATA-II cable specification":
http://www.satacable.com/

Second google site hit
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2076134&CatId=84

I've done business with Tiger Direct. They were prompt for delivery.
Searching for things on their site was annoying, though.

Adding "site:newegg" to the search gives:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812207001
and
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812162003

First has a right angle connector.

You were saying?
