- Shielded copper conductors protect signal integrity for reliable transfers
What this cable does
This 70 cm combo cable carries SATA III 6 Gbps data and delivers 12 V and 5 V power to a SATA drive from a Molex 4-pin connector on the power supply. It lets you add a SATA device without upgrading the power supply. The 22-pin source plugs into a backplane or motherboard header, while the 7-pin data and Molex tails reach the drive.
Capacity and headroom
Rated for SATA 3.0 bandwidth, the link handles 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch hard drives or SSDs at full interface speed. The copper conductors and shielding keep the 6 Gbps signal clean over the 70 cm run. A single drive is supported; the cable does not split power or data to multiple devices.
When the upgrade makes sense
Use this cable when your power supply lacks native SATA power connectors but has a free Molex 4-pin lead. It replaces the need for a new power supply or a separate Molex-to-SATA adapter plus a data cable. The combination is not suited for builders who need to power more than one drive from a single Molex connection.

Questions about this item
Will the 22-pin SATA connector on this cable fit the combined data and power port on my older 2.5" laptop drive?
Yes, the 22-pin SATA connector carries both data and power for 2.5" drives that use the combined interface, while the separate 7-pin data and Molex 4-pin connectors attach to the motherboard and power supply.
How can I confirm the cable is delivering 6 Gbps bandwidth after installation?
Check the drive's reported link speed in the system BIOS or a tool like CrystalDiskInfo; it should show SATA 3.0 at 6 Gbps if the drive and port also support that rate.
Does the 70 cm cable include the Molex 4-pin power connector, or do I need a separate adapter?
The Molex 4-pin connector is integrated into the cable assembly, so no separate adapter is required to draw 12 V and 5 V power from the power supply.
