SATA-stroomverdeelkabel Sharkoon 1x SATA naar 2x SATA haaks — stroomverdeling voor drives

The Sharkoon SATA power splitter cable converts a single SATA power connector into two angled SATA power outputs, enabling two SATA drives or devices to be powered from one PSU cable. The angled plugs reduce stress on wiring and help keep connections compact in tight installation spaces. The cable is intended for internal PC use and is compatible with common SATA-powered components such as HDDs, SSDs and optical drives.

Advantages

This SATA power splitter provides a straightforward method to expand available power connectors without modifying the power supply. Angled SATA plugs improve access and clearance in cramped drive bays and behind motherboard trays, while the single-cable input minimizes additional cable clutter. The splitter is passive, requiring no additional power source or configuration.

Suitable for

• Powering two 3.5" or 2.5" hard drives from one PSU SATA power cable
• Connecting an SSD and an optical drive when PSU connectors are limited
• Systems with limited cable routing space where angled connectors ease installation
• Temporary expansions or upgrades where adding a new PSU cable is impractical

Key specifications

• Cable type: SATA power splitter (1 input to 2 outputs)
• Connector orientation: angled SATA power plugs on outputs
• Intended use: internal PC power distribution for SATA devices
• Compatibility: standard SATA-powered HDDs, SSDs, optical drives
• Electrical: passive split of standard SATA 12V/5V/3.3V rails (subject to PSU and device power limits)

How to use

Disconnect the PC from mains power before connecting or disconnecting components. Plug the splitter's single SATA power input into an available SATA power cable from the power supply. Connect the two angled SATA power outputs to the power ports of the target drives or devices, ensuring correct alignment of the keyed connectors. Route the cable to avoid pinching or excessive bending and confirm that the combined power draw of connected devices does not exceed the PSU cable or unit specifications.

Recommendations

Use this splitter for low- to moderate-power SATA devices. Avoid connecting multiple high-current drives simultaneously on the same PSU cable. If system power demand is high, consider using an additional dedicated PSU cable or upgrading the power supply to ensure stable operation.
