Product identity

The TeKit 4-Pin Molex IDE to 15-Pin SATA Power Adapter Cable converts a legacy Molex power connector into a standard SATA 15-pin plug. It measures 0.5 ft in length and uses copper conductors inside a black thermoplastic jacket. The adapter terminates in one female Molex 4-pin and one male SATA 15-pin connector.

Suitability

This cable suits builders adding a SATA drive to an older power supply that only offers Molex outputs. It also serves repair jobs where a SATA device must draw power from a Molex lead. Buyers who need to power a Molex drive from a SATA connector should look at a reverse adapter instead.

Sustained behaviour

The copper conductors deliver steady current to the attached drive during continuous read or write sessions. The short 0.5 ft run keeps voltage drop low so the SATA device receives stable power over long operating periods. The thermoplastic insulation resists heat from nearby components inside the chassis.

Questions about this item

Does this cable need a free 4-pin Molex connector from my power supply to work?

Yes, the female 4-pin Molex end plugs into a spare Molex lead from the PSU, supplying power to the SATA device.

Can I keep using an older IDE hard drive or optical drive with this adapter?

The adapter converts a SATA power plug to a Molex socket, so it feeds power to IDE drives, not the other way round.

How do I confirm the adapter is delivering power after I connect it?

The connected SATA drive should spin up and be recognised by the BIOS or operating system once the system is powered on.
