ACT cable adaptador de alimentación Serial ATA 0,15 m

The ACT SATA Power Adapter Cable AK3196 (0.15m) provides a compact solution to power SATA drives from legacy 4-pin Molex power outputs. With a 15-pin SATA power connector on one end and a 4-pin Molex connector on the other, this short adapter cable enables power conversion where direct SATA power connectors are not available. Its 0.15 m length makes it suitable for installations in small form-factor cases or crowded interiors where minimal cable routing is required.

Advantages

This adapter cable offers a straightforward, plug-and-play way to supply power to SATA hard drives, SSDs or optical drives from existing Molex connectors. The short length reduces excess cable clutter and helps maintain tidy cable management inside the case. The fitted 15-pin SATA plug and standard 4-pin Molex connector ensure broad compatibility with common power supplies and legacy devices.

Suitable for

• Powering SATA HDDs, SSDs or optical drives from Molex power outputs
• Compact PC builds and small form-factor cases with limited cable space
• Upgrading older systems that lack free SATA power connectors
• Temporary swaps or diagnostic use when testing drives

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.15 m
• Connector 1: SATA 15-pin power connector
• Connector 2: 4-pin Molex power connector
• Product colour: Multicolour

How to use

Connect the 4-pin Molex end of the adapter to an available Molex power plug from your power supply, ensuring the connector orientation matches the pins. Insert the 15-pin SATA power connector into the SATA drive’s power socket until it seats firmly. Verify the connections are secure and route the short cable to avoid sharp bends or contact with moving parts. Power on the system and confirm the drive is detected and receives power.

Recommendations

Use this adapter for short, internal connections only; avoid stretching the cable beyond its length and do not place it near fans or sharp edges. For permanent installations or heavy-load scenarios, consider using native SATA power connectors from the power supply or a dedicated adapter harness designed for sustained high-current use.
