Purpose and audience

This Y-splitter cable converts a single SATA 15-pin male power connector into two Molex 4-pin female connectors. It is intended for builders who need to power SATA hard drives or SSDs from a power supply that only provides legacy Molex outputs. The 30 cm length suits tight routing inside compact chassis.

Build and connectors

Each cable uses 18 AWG pure copper conductors inside a red PVC jacket. The SATA male plug and dual Molex female sockets are moulded for secure mating and repeated insertion cycles. The short, stiff pigtail keeps the split point close to the drive bay, reducing cable clutter and strain on the power supply’s native connectors.

Deciding specification

The critical figure is the 15-pin SATA male to dual 4-pin Molex female pinout, which delivers both 5 V and 12 V rails to SATA devices. If your power supply lacks native SATA power leads, this adapter provides the required voltages; if your supply already has enough SATA connectors, the cable adds no benefit.

Questions about this item

What does the SATA 15-pin male connector support on this cable?

The 15-pin SATA male end plugs into a SATA power port on the power supply, delivering 12 V and 5 V rails to SATA hard drives or SSDs through the two Molex female branches.

What clearance does the 30 cm red cable need inside the case?

At 30 cm the Y-splitter reaches from a bottom-mounted PSU to mid-tower drive bays; the PVC jacket adds minimal bulk so it routes behind the motherboard tray or along standard cable channels.

How do I connect the dual 4-pin Molex females without reversing polarity?

Each Molex 4-pin socket is keyed — align the chamfered corners with the drive’s header, press straight in until the latch clicks, and verify both 12 V and 5 V pins seat fully before powering on.
