SMUGDESK
SMUGDESK LP4 IDE 4 Pin Male to 5 SATA Female Power Splitter Cord 24cm 18AWG
Converts one LP4 IDE power connector into five SATA ports using 18AWG wire over a 24cm length
- Powers five SATA drives from one IDE connector
- 18AWG thick wire ensures stable current with less heat
- 24cm length keeps internal wiring tidy and organised
- Works with HDDs, SSDs and optical drives
- Durable insulated shells prevent loose connections
IDE-to-SATA power expansion
This SMUGDESK splitter converts a single LP4 4-pin IDE male connector into five SATA female power ports, letting one supply output run multiple storage devices. It suits desktop builders upgrading older power supplies that lack enough native SATA connectors.
18AWG wire gauge for stable delivery
The cable uses 18AWG conductors to minimise voltage drop and heat during continuous operation, ensuring reliable power to every attached drive. Total length is 24cm, keeping internal routing tidy without excess slack.
Ideal for multi-drive HDD or SSD arrays
Builders adding several hard drives, solid-state drives or optical drives to a system with limited SATA power outputs will benefit. Not for users whose power supply already provides sufficient native SATA connectors or who need longer reach for full-tower layouts.
Highlights
- Powers five SATA drives from one IDE connector
- 18AWG thick wire ensures stable current with less heat
- 24cm length keeps internal wiring tidy and organised
- Works with HDDs, SSDs and optical drives
- Durable insulated shells prevent loose connections

Questions about this item
How many SATA drives can one LP4 connector power with this splitter?
The cable splits a single LP4 4-pin IDE male connector into five SATA female ports, allowing up to five SATA hard drives, SSDs or optical drives to draw power from one supply channel.
What wire gauge is used and why does it matter for SATA power?
It uses 18AWG conductors, which are thick enough to keep voltage drop low and reduce heat during continuous operation, helping each connected drive receive stable power.
Will the 24 cm length reach drives in a standard tower case?
At 24 cm total length the cord is short enough to avoid cable clutter yet long enough to span typical drive-cage distances inside most desktop chassis.
