A parallel ATA cable has 40 wires. Some high performance cables have 80, but there are only 40 distinct wires - with every other wire being grounded to minimize cross-talk.

What are the two kinds of parallel ATA cables used with hard drives?
The 80-conductor cable and the 40-conductor cable.
How many pins on a Sata hard Drive?
Parallel ATA connectors use a 40 pin female connector with one pin removed for keying.
What are series and parallel ports?
series is newer in ata like series ata and ata the old one is parallel ata
Physical difference in ata 33 and ata 66?
ATA/33 has 40 wires. Where as the ATA/66 has 80 wires. Physically they look the same. The extra wires are for grounding.
What are two types of parallel ATA data cables used with hard drives?
80 conductor IDE cable; 40 conductor IDE cable
What are two types of PATA data cables?
Under parallel ata, two types of ribbon cable are used. The 80-conductor ide cable has 40 pins and 80 wires Forty wires are used for communication and data, and an additional 40 ground wires reduce crosstalk on the cable. An older 40-conducror cable has 40 wires and 40 pins. the two types of cables are PATA and IDE cables which come in a 80-conductor IDE cable and a 40-conductor cable
How does a serial ATA help keep a computer case cool better than parallel ATA?
"The thinner serial-ATA cable does not hinder airflow within the case" info from Jean Andrews CompTIA A+ Guide to Hardware Fourth Edition
How many conductors are there in an ATA 66 ribbon cable?
80
How does serial ATA help keep a computer case cool better that parallel ATA?
Serial ATA are thin cables that don't hinder airflow inside a case as much as the wide parallel ATA cables do.
