Molex 4-Pin IDE Power Splitter
This new Molex 4-pin IDE power splitter connects one male connector to three female connectors. It allows two or three IDE hard drives or optical drives to draw power from a single power supply interface. The cable measures 6.7 inches in length. It is a straightforward solution for adding legacy drives.
Suits legacy drive installations
Builders adding multiple IDE hard drives, CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives to an older system will find this splitter useful. It is not for systems that lack a free Molex 4-pin male connector on the power supply. It is also not for users who need to power more than three devices from one lead.
6.7 inch cable length
The fixed 6.7 inch length determines how far the splitter can reach from the power supply to the drives. Measure the distance inside your case before ordering. If the routing path is longer, this cable will not reach the furthest device.

Questions about this item
Will the three female Molex 4-pin connectors need any periodic replacement?
The connectors are passive components with no moving parts; they do not wear out under normal use and require no scheduled replacement.
What limits how many devices I can run simultaneously from this splitter?
The power supply must be able to deliver the combined maximum power draw of all connected IDE hard drives and optical drives.
Does the cable generate noticeable heat or noise when powering three drives all day?
It is a passive wire assembly with no active electronics, so it produces no noise and negligible heat during continuous operation.
