EN-Labs IDESPL28 Molex Splitter Cord
This EN-Labs IDESPL28 cable splits a single Molex 4-pin LP4 male connector into two female connectors. It allows users to power additional internal devices such as hard drives, optical drives or fans from one power supply lead. The cord uses 18AWG copper conductors and measures 8 inches in length. It is a new component suited for legacy or custom builds needing extra Molex ports.
Suits builders adding Molex devices to limited PSU
The splitter serves anyone who needs to connect two 4-pin Molex peripherals where only one header exists. It supports 5V and 12V DC devices including floppy drives, tape drives and cooling fans. It is not for systems that lack a free Molex 4-pin LP4 male output on the power supply. It also does not help users whose drives or fans require a different power interface altogether.
8-inch 18AWG copper cable
The decisive specification is the physical connector arrangement: one Molex 4-pin LP4 male plug branching to two female sockets on an 8-inch, 18AWG copper cable. This exact layout determines whether the splitter reaches the target devices and fits the available power supply header. Voltage compatibility is rated for 5V and 12V DC.

Questions about this item
How much current can the 18AWG copper wires carry continuously before they become the limiting factor?
18AWG copper conductors are rated for roughly 10 amps per wire in chassis wiring, so the splitter can sustain that load on each 5V or 12V rail without the cable itself becoming the bottleneck.
Does the cable run warm or draw extra power when both female connectors are loaded all day?
The splitter adds no active components; it simply passes 5V and 12V DC through 18AWG copper, so heat rise is minimal and there is no additional power draw beyond what the attached drives or fans consume.
What must the power supply already provide for this splitter to work?
The supply needs a free Molex 4-pin LP4 male connector delivering 5V and 12V DC; the splitter then converts that single connector into two female LP4 sockets for drives or fans.
