- Eight-inch length fits compact case routing
- Male LP4 plug connects directly to power supply
- Dual female LP4 sockets support drives and fans
Splitter Cable
This 18AWG Molex 4-pin LP4 splitter converts a single male connector into two female ports. It is built for PC builders who need to add extra drives, fans or other peripherals from one power supply lead. The eight-inch length keeps cable runs short inside compact cases. It supports standard 5V and 12V DC devices.
Thermals and Power Draw
The 18AWG copper conductors are rated for the current drawn by typical Molex peripherals such as hard drives and cooling fans. Under normal operation the cable runs cool and adds no audible noise to the system. Voltage drop across the eight-inch span remains negligible for 5V and 12V DC loads. No active cooling or special airflow is required.
Sustained Load Behaviour
During continuous operation the copper wires maintain stable delivery to both female connectors simultaneously. The splitter handles the combined draw of two devices without overheating or connector melt. It is not suited for high-current applications beyond standard Molex specifications such as multi-GPU power or server backplanes. Builders needing more than two outputs should use a dedicated power distribution board.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the 18AWG splitter cable to my power supply?
Plug the single LP4 male connector into an available Molex 4-pin output on the power supply, then attach each female end to a drive or fan; the step often missed is ensuring both female connectors click fully onto their device headers.
Will the copper conductors degrade and need replacement over time?
The 18AWG copper wires are rated for continuous 5V and 12V DC operation and do not wear out under normal use, so no scheduled replacement is required.
What is the maximum current the 8-inch cable can handle before voltage drop becomes an issue?
The 18AWG gauge supports typical Molex device loads at 5V and 12V across the 8-inch length without significant voltage drop.
