Two black SATA-to-fan adapter cables with 15-pin SATA and 3/4-pin connectors, 10.6 in long

Apple AYD-SATA-3P4P SATA to 3/4 Pin Fan Adapter Cable 2 Pack 10.6 in

SKU CH-P7MF-QCX49

Two 10.6 in cables convert a 15 pin SATA power connector to 3 pin or 4 pin PWM fan headers at fixed 12 V

  • Cable length32.8 ft (10 m)
  • Team affiliation2 Piece
  • Connector details1 x eSATA to 1 x eSATA
  • Connector genderMale to Female
  • Conductor typeCopper Conductor
  • Seller noticeUL
  • Connect 3-pin or 4-pin PWM fans to a 15-pin SATA power connector
  • Fans run at fixed 12 V from the SATA supply
  • High-density black sleeving protects the 10.6 in cable
  • Two adapters included for multiple fan installations
  • Copper conductors ensure reliable power delivery

Purpose and fit

This pack contains two adapter cables that let a 3-pin or 4-pin PWM case fan draw power from a 15-pin SATA connector on the power supply. Builders who have spare SATA power leads but no free motherboard fan headers can use these to add extra cooling without splitting existing fan circuits. The adapters are not suited for systems that require variable fan speed controlled by the motherboard because the SATA line delivers a fixed 12 V supply.

Compatibility check

Verify that your power supply has an available 15-pin SATA power connector and that the fan you intend to power uses a standard 3-pin or 4-pin connector. The cable provides a constant 12 V feed, so fans will run at full speed regardless of PWM signals on the 4-pin header. Ensure the 10.6 in length reaches from the SATA connector to the fan mounting point inside your chassis.

Build and daily use

Each cable uses copper conductors wrapped in high-density black sleeving for durability and a clean look. The 15-pin SATA plug is male and the fan end accepts both 3-pin and 4-pin connectors, with backward compatibility for older 3-pin fans. Because the voltage is fixed at 12 V, expect fans to operate at maximum RPM continuously once connected.

Questions about this item

Does the 2-pack include everything needed to run two 3-pin or 4-pin fans from SATA power, or must I buy extra connectors?

The pack contains two 15-pin SATA to 3-pin/4-pin adapter cables. Each cable plugs directly into a SATA power connector and the fan header, so no extra parts are required.

Both cables are 10.6 in long — is that length suited to a typical mid-tower case or should I look for a longer version?

At 10.6 in the cables reach most mid-tower fan mounts from a nearby SATA power lead. If your routing path is longer you would need a different cable, but no other length is offered in this pack.

The adapter supplies a fixed 12 V from the SATA line — will a 4-pin PWM fan still report its speed to the motherboard?

The 4-pin connector passes the tachometer wire to the fan header, so the motherboard can read RPM, but the PWM control wire is not driven; the fan runs at constant 12 V.
