SPIDER Automation 4-Pin IDE to 5-SATA Hard Disk Power Splitter Cable
Description
Need to expand your storage array but ran out of SATA power connectors on your power supply? The SPIDER Automation 4-Pin Large IDE to 5-SATA Output Power Cord is the ideal solution. It bridges legacy power supplies equipped with standard 4-pin Molex (IDE) connectors to modern SATA storage devices, allowing you to power multiple hard drives from a single source.
Engineered for performance and durability, the cable is built using heavy-duty 18AWG positive-marked wiring capable of permanently supporting high-current power requirements without voltage drops. Its modern 2-wire parallel flat ribbon design keeps internal cabling neat, organized, and easy to thread through tight chassis holes without messy sleeving.
Key Features
- 1-Input to 5-Output Conversion: Expands a single 4-pin Molex (IDE) connection into five individual SATA power connectors.
- Heavy-Duty 18AWG Wire Gauge: Thick copper wiring safely handles high continuous current loads for demanding multi-drive configurations.
- Flat Parallel Ribbon Layout: Clean parallel wire body prevents loose strands, streamlines airflow, and simplifies cable management.
- Universal SATA Support: Compatible with any SATA-powered hardware including 3.5/2.5-inch HDDs, SSDs, and CD/DVD/Blu-Ray optical drives.
Benefits
- Cost-Effective Expansion: Eliminates the need to replace your entire power supply just to accommodate extra storage drives.
- Neater Case Interiors: Flat ribbon layout allows flush routing behind motherboard trays and tight storage cages.
- Reliable Power Delivery: 18AWG grading prevents overheating issues common with thinner budget splitter cables.
- Flexible Staggered Spacing: Generous length distribution fits multi-bay server chassis and tower cases with ease.
Applications
- Multi-Drive NAS & Server Builds: Powering arrays of hard disk drives inside custom PC or file server enclosures.
- Optical Drive Integration: Connecting multiple CD, DVD, or Blu-Ray writers alongside system drives.
- PC Upgrades & Retrofitting: Adapting older power supplies to support modern SATA storage ecosystems.
- Mining Rigs & Workstations: Clean power splitting for peripheral hardware nodes.
