SATA 15-pin to Molex 4-pin LP4 Adapter

This adapter cable connects a standard SATA power connector to an IDE Molex 4-pin LP4 female socket. It allows a modern power supply with SATA outputs to run older IDE hard drives, optical drives, or other LP4 devices. The 12 inch length suits typical internal routing inside a desktop chassis.

18AWG Copper Conductors and Voltage Delivery

The cable uses 18AWG copper conductors rated for 5V and 12V DC output. This gauge handles the current draw of a single IDE hard drive or optical drive without significant voltage drop. It is not designed to power multiple high-draw devices from a single SATA header simultaneously.

SATA Power Interface Constraints

The SATA 15-pin male plug draws power directly from the power supply SATA connector. Total available current is limited by that single SATA header and the 18AWG wire gauge. Builders needing to power several IDE drives or high-current peripherals should use separate SATA connectors or a dedicated Molex rail.

Questions about this item

Will the 12 inch cable reach from my SATA power supply to an older IDE hard drive in a full tower case?

The cable is 12 inches long with 18AWG copper conductors, designed to connect a SATA 15 pin male connector to a Molex 4 pin LP4 female connector for IDE drives.

How can I confirm the adapter is delivering both 5V and 12V to my IDE drive after connecting it?

The drive should spin up and be detected in BIOS; the adapter passes 5V and 12V DC from the SATA power source through the 18AWG wires to the LP4 connector.

Does the package include any extra mounting brackets or SATA power splitters for multiple drives?

The product is a single 12 inch SATA 15 pin male to Molex 4 pin LP4 female adapter cable with 18AWG copper conductors; no brackets or splitters are included.
