Ruth's sister 4 Pin Molex IDE Male to 4P ATA Female Power Cable to Floppy Drive Adapter 200mm
Converts a standard Molex power connector to a floppy-drive power plug for legacy drives or adapters, 200 mm long
- Converts Molex power to floppy drive connector for legacy CF-card and DOS systems
- 200mm cable extends reach when PSU floppy lead is too short
- Adds a second floppy power port to PSUs that only include one
- Supports power-hungry expansion cards such as graphics or IEEE 1394 adapters
- Simple plug-in adapter requires no drivers or configuration
4 Pin Molex to Floppy Drive Adapter
This adapter converts a standard 4 Pin Molex IDE male connector into a 4P ATA female power interface for floppy drives. It measures 200mm in length and is designed for PC internal power routing. The cable suits legacy storage devices and soft-router builds using CF cards instead of mechanical hard disks.
Retro builders and soft-router users
The cable serves enthusiasts running DOS or Windows 98 systems where CF cards replace spinning drives for durability and frequent power cycling. It also supports power-hungry expansion cards such as graphics cards or 1394 devices that require an extra small 4P floppy-style connector for stable operation. It is not suited for builds that rely solely on modern power supplies with multiple native small 4P outputs.
200mm Molex-to-floppy power conversion
The single specification that decides fit is the 200mm length combined with the 4 Pin Molex IDE male to 4P ATA female pinout. This exact connector pairing and cable reach determine whether the adapter reaches the target drive or card inside the chassis without strain or excess slack.

Questions about this item
Will the 200 mm length require an extension when routing behind a full-size motherboard tray?
At 200 mm the cable reaches most ATX board layouts without strain, but a tight rear-routing path may still need a short Molex extender.
Which connector will hit its current ceiling first when a graphics card and a 1394 device share the adapter?
The small 4P floppy-style plug is rated for lower amperage than the Molex side, so it becomes the bottleneck under heavy combined load.
Does the adapter add noticeable heat or fan noise when the PSU runs continuously?
The passive wiring adds no active cooling or moving parts, so heat rise and acoustic output stay identical to a direct Molex connection.
