Help finding a compatible SATA cable for an older BeQuiet PSU

Hello, I'm out of my comfort zone and don't want to spend money on the wrong thing.

I have a BeQuiet Straight Power 11 Platinum 1000W / E11-PT-1000W Power Supply, I want to add a 2TB SSD as a storage drive. I threw away my box with the spare SATA connectors since I had switched to NVMe, and a replacement SATA cable that comes with it in-box runs about $30 off EBay and third-party resellers. I don't believe newer model cables are compatable, but I'm not sure. Is there any better alternative?

Cable I'm referring to: https://www.ebay.com/itm/366379742572?_skw=be+quiet%21+S-ATA+CS-6740&epid=193946137&itmmeta=01KSS7Q1KM6T3GDP10NQ59G50K&hash=item554def356c:g:wGYAAeSwX8Rp86m~&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA0GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xBix3TM6Ji%2B47SbDgIEOuDWhcCRxD1octdzpLuokcQBJH%2BpKoaexlf3nDAr5RlmRTcTYnC8UMqMH%2BHbvkyiln73KdLL4M8Dws8tEEnkGPpmJHgHMJlNreFt29qiuHxb8Exb0eIvbooAGQtT%2Bfs%2BPc1m2UiEkFgeCq%2FooSJYdS8IrcMzy6x06kU89l5PN6I4TFYsMdFQi00h%2FmKYmmM%2Fbc%2BN9vEszARP3uVjwCYMw9enilqcn0V0kKx%2Bc52E3cLlmNU%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_6Z3KfOZw

I've read that it's a bad idea to use other cables with BeQuiet PUSs. Is there a cheaper alternative, or any advice? Also if anybody knows what other cables I might need in advance, I'd be happy for the advice. ty!
