Adattatore alimentatore Renkforce RF-4174632 1× IDE 4 poli su 1× SATA 15 poli cavo 0,15 m

Renkforce RF-4174632 is a compact power adapter cable that converts a standard IDE/Molex 4‑pin power connector to a SATA 15‑pin power plug. The 0.15 m length offers a short, tidy connection to supply power to SATA hard drives, SSDs or optical drives from older power supplies that only provide Molex connectors. This adapter is intended for temporary connections, drive installations, testing and situations where adding a new SATA power cable is impractical.

Advantages

The short cable minimizes clutter inside small enclosures and reduces signal pathing for power delivery while providing a direct mechanical fit between Molex 4‑pin connectors and SATA power sockets. It allows continued use of existing power supplies without requiring an immediate PSU upgrade and supports quick, tool-free connections when installing or testing drives. The adapter is compact, easy to route and suitable for confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Supplying power to SATA hard drives and SSDs from a Molex/IDE power output
• Temporary drive connections during upgrades, diagnostics or data migration
• Small-form-factor or legacy systems lacking native SATA power connectors
• Testing or bench setups where short, reliable power links are preferred

Key specifications

• Connector type: 1× Molex/IDE 4‑pin (input) to 1× SATA 15‑pin (output)
• Cable length: 0.15 m
• Contact arrangement: standard pin assignment for Molex and SATA power
• Intended use: internal PC power conversion for storage devices
• Compatibility: standard SATA power sockets on drives and standard Molex power outputs from power supplies

How to use

Connect the Molex/IDE 4‑pin connector of the adapter to an available Molex power plug from the power supply, ensuring correct orientation so pins align properly. Insert the SATA 15‑pin plug into the SATA power socket on the drive until it seats fully. Verify that the PC is powered off when making or removing connections. After installation, power on the system and check that the drive is detected and powered correctly.

Recommendations

Use this adapter for temporary or occasional connections rather than as a permanent solution for continuous heavy-load environments. Ensure that the power supply can deliver sufficient current on the Molex rail for the connected SATA drive, and avoid routing the short cable near moving parts or sharp edges. For long-term reliability in systems with multiple SATA devices, consider installing a power supply with native SATA connectors.
