Product Features
Technical Overview
This SATA power splitter employs a robust electrical design with 18 AWG copper conductors to minimize voltage drop and ensure reliable power transmission to connected devices. The cable supports standard SATA power specifications, delivering the necessary +3.3V, +5V, and +12V rails to each output connector simultaneously.
The connector configuration features a single 15-pin SATA male plug on the input end that connects directly to a power supply unit or existing SATA power cable. Four 15-pin SATA female receptacles on the output end accept standard SATA power connectors from drives and other compatible devices. This arrangement maintains proper pin alignment and secure connections throughout the power chain.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This power splitter addresses common expansion challenges in computer builds and upgrades by providing additional SATA power connections without modifying the power supply or using bulky adapters. The compact design integrates seamlessly into existing cable routing while maintaining professional-grade electrical performance.
Expansion Flexibility
Adds three extra SATA power outlets from a single source connection, enabling support for multiple drives in systems with limited native power connectors.
- Supports hard drives, SSDs, and optical drives
- Compatible with standard SATA power supplies
Reliable Construction
Features 18 AWG wiring with durable insulation for consistent power delivery and physical protection in various installation environments.
- Minimizes voltage drop
- Resists wear and tear
Simplified Installation
Plug-and-play design requires no tools or configuration, with standard connectors that match existing SATA power interfaces.
- Standard 15-pin connectors
- 1.3 ft length for flexible routing
Deployment / Use Cases
This SATA power splitter serves multiple practical applications in both consumer and professional computing environments. In desktop computer builds, it enables expansion beyond the power supply's native SATA connectors, allowing users to add additional storage drives without upgrading their power supply unit.
For server and NAS configurations, the splitter supports drive arrays where multiple SATA devices require power from limited power supply connections. System integrators and IT professionals utilize these adapters in custom builds, test benches, and repair scenarios where temporary or permanent power expansion is needed. The cable also functions in external drive enclosures and media centers that aggregate multiple SATA devices.
Physical Profile
The cable features a slim black profile with molded connectors that provide strain relief and secure mating. With a total length of 1.3 feet (0.40 meters), it offers sufficient reach for most internal computer layouts while minimizing excess cable clutter. The lightweight construction at 1.16 ounces (33 grams) adds minimal bulk to system builds.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.16 oz (33 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What devices can I power with this SATA splitter cable?
This splitter powers any standard SATA device that uses 15-pin power connectors, including 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), and optical drives like DVD or Blu-ray drives. It connects to the power supply's SATA power output, not data ports, delivering the necessary +3.3V, +5V, and +12V rails to each connected device.
How many extra power connections does this adapter provide?
The StarTech.com PYO4SATA provides three additional SATA power connections beyond your original single input. It converts one male SATA power input into four female SATA power outputs, effectively adding three usable outlets for connecting extra drives or other SATA-powered components in your system.
What is the cable length and wire gauge?
This splitter cable measures 1.3 feet (0.40 meters) in length, providing sufficient reach for most internal computer layouts. It uses 18 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wiring, which minimizes voltage drop and ensures stable power delivery to all connected devices across the cable's entire length.
Is this splitter compatible with all power supplies?
Yes, this splitter works with any power supply that provides standard SATA power outputs. The male connector plugs directly into your power supply's SATA power cable or connector. However, ensure your power supply can deliver sufficient total current to support all devices connected through the splitter, as it distributes power from a single source.
What environmental certifications does this product have?
This SATA power splitter is EU RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning it meets European Union standards for limiting specific hazardous materials in electrical equipment. It also complies with REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) regulations for environmental safety.
