SATA power extension for tight builds
This 15-pin SATA power extension cable adds 12 inches of reach between a power supply and Serial ATA drives. The male-to-female design connects directly to existing PSU cables or replaces shorter leads. Each 18 AWG copper conductor supports 3.3V, 5V and 12V rails without performance loss. The pack includes three black cables for multiple devices.
Replaces short or strained factory leads
Use these extensions when stock PSU cables fall short of drive bays or when connector strain risks port damage. They upgrade installations in towers where older motherboards or new power supplies shipped with insufficient length. The snug connectors with easy-grip treads simplify removal in cramped spaces. The jump is worth it whenever cable routing forces sharp bends or blocks access to adjacent ports.
Fits standard drive bays and PCIe cards
Compatible with 2.5-inch SSDs, 3.5-inch HDDs, optical DVD drives and PCIe add-in cards that draw SATA power. The low-profile receptacles sit beside 7-pin SATA data cables without interference. No additional adapters are required for direct PSU connection. The flexible 18 AWG wire eases routing behind motherboard trays and through grommets, freeing up space for airflow and cleaner cable management.

Questions about this item
Will the 12-inch cable reach a drive mounted at the bottom of a mid-tower case?
The 12-inch length adds slack to the existing PSU lead so a bottom-mounted 2.5" SSD or 3.5" HDD can be powered without stretching the original connector.
Which way round do the male and female ends go when plugging it in?
Insert the male plug into the power-supply SATA receptacle first, then push the female end onto the drive’s 15-pin port; the easy-grip treads help seat both sides firmly.
How often should the 18 AWG copper conductors be checked or replaced?
The copper conductors are rated for continuous 3.3V, 5V and 12V delivery and need no scheduled replacement; inspect only if a drive loses power intermittently.
