IDE power splitter for legacy drives

This Vszerda cable splits a single IDE 4-pin Molex connector into two female IDE power ports. It adds extra power outlets for older hard drives, SSDs, CD-ROMs or DVD-ROMs that still use the 4-pin interface. The 10 cm length keeps cable routing tidy inside compact cases or server chassis. Copper conductors carry both 5 V and 12 V lines to each device.

Dual connectors share one rail

The Y-splitter provides two IDE female plugs from one male source, so two drives draw from the same 5 V and 12 V rails. Total current is limited by the host power supply and the single upstream connector, so high-spin-up mechanical drives may trip protection if started simultaneously. The short 10 cm reach suits stacked drive cages or tight backplanes where excess slack would block airflow.

Male-to-female IDE 4-pin interface

The cable terminates in a standard 4-pin Molex male plug that fits any ATX supply peripheral lead, while the two female ends accept legacy drive power inputs. No adapters or extra headers are required beyond an available Molex strand. The 10 cm tail reduces clutter and leaves surrounding bays free for data cables or additional cooling.

Questions about this item

Will this 10 cm splitter power both my legacy IDE hard drive and an older CD-ROM from a single Molex connector?

Yes, the 4-pin male plug feeds two female IDE ports so one Molex lead can run two drives simultaneously.

How can I verify the splitter is delivering 5 V and 12 V to each drive after I connect it?

Measure the yellow and red wires on each female connector with a multimeter; both rails should read within spec when the system is on.

Does the package include mounting screws or only the 10 cm Y-cable itself?

Only the splitter cable is supplied; no screws or additional hardware are included.
