Description

StarTech LP4SATAFM2L SATA to LP4 Power Adapter Cable

Overview

When integrating older IDE hard drives or other peripherals into a system equipped with only modern SATA power connectors, the StarTech LP4SATAFM2L adapter cable provides the necessary interface. This 6-inch cable converts a single SATA power connector into three 4-pin LP4 connectors, enabling you to power legacy devices without needing a new power supply unit. It's a practical solution for system upgrades or when repurposing older components in surveillance or general computing builds.

Compatibility

This adapter is designed to interface with standard SATA power connectors found on modern ATX power supplies. The three LP4 outputs are compatible with devices requiring the older 4-pin Molex-style power connector, commonly found on IDE hard drives, older optical drives, and certain case fans or accessories.

Installation Notes

The cable measures 6 inches (153 mm) from end to end, providing sufficient length for most internal system connections without excessive slack. The adapter draws power directly from the SATA power connector, requiring no additional power source. Ensure the total power draw of the connected LP4 devices does not exceed the capacity of the SATA power connector and the PSU's overall rating.
