Will these work with SATA II drives and motherboards?

Yes. SATA III cables are backward compatible with SATA II and SATA I ports and drives; the link just runs at the slower device's speed.

Is 50cm long enough for a mid-tower case?

Usually yes for drives mounted near the motherboard. In a full tower with drives in a front bay far from the ports, measure the run first, as 50cm can be tight.

What is the right-angle connector for?

It lets the cable exit a drive or board at 90 degrees, which saves clearance in tight bays and behind side panels. Check which way your drive's port faces.

Does the braid affect transfer speed?

No. The braid is a protective sleeve; the 6Gbps rating comes from the cable's internal conductors and shielding.

Three SATA III data cables, each 50cm long with one straight and one right-angle connector.

Our take on the Bailink 3-Pack SATA III Nylon Braided Data Cable 50cm

The Bailink 3-Pack is a set of three SATA III data cables for connecting hard drives, SSDs and optical drives to a motherboard. Each cable is 50cm (about 19.7 inches) long, rated for 6Gbps SATA III transfer, and wrapped in nylon braid. One end is straight and the other is a 90-degree right-angle connector, which helps in tight cases where a straight plug would foul a drive bay or side panel. The locking latch keeps the connector seated. Against plain flat ribbon SATA cables, the braid adds durability and tidier routing, but the right-angle end is fixed, so check your drive orientation before buying.
