Connect two LP4 devices from one connector

This StarTech.com PYO2L cable splits a single LP4 male connection into two LP4 female connectors. It measures 9.1 in. and lets you power a pair of LP4 peripheral devices such as CD or DVD-ROM drives from one power supply lead. The multi-colour wiring helps identify connections during installation.

Suits builders adding legacy optical drives

It serves anyone who needs to run two LP4 peripherals from a single LP4 header on the power supply. It does not help builders whose power supply lacks an LP4 output or who require different power interfaces for modern drives. It also cannot support more than two devices on the splitter.

One LP4 male to two LP4 female connectors

The cable provides exactly one LP4 male connector (Connector B) and two LP4 female connectors (Connector A). This three-connector arrangement is the deciding factor: if your power supply and drives use the large 4-pin LP4 standard, the splitter fits directly without adapters.

Questions about this item

What does the 9.1 in length mean once the cable is routed inside a case?

The 9.1 in span lets you bridge a single LP4 power lead to two drives mounted in adjacent bays without stretching or leaving excess slack.

What does the LP4 interface cap in practice when two drives share one connector?

Both female LP4 plugs draw from the same 4‑pin male source, so total current is limited to what that single rail can supply.

What clearance does the Y‑splitter body need to fit behind a drive cage?

The splitter adds only the connector housings to the 9.1 in cable, so it fits in the same space as a standard LP4 plug.
