Verlengkabel Renkforce RF-4166421 1x IDE-stroomstekker naar 1x IDE-stroombus

Extension Cable Renkforce RF-4166421 1x IDE power plug to 1x IDE power socket is an internal power extension designed to extend the reach of a standard 4-pin Molex/IDE power connection inside desktop PCs. The cable provides a male IDE power plug on one end and a female IDE power socket on the other, allowing easy relocation or rerouting of power for internal drives and peripherals that use the IDE-style power interface. The construction is intended for in-system use where a short additional length is needed to reach devices mounted in drive bays or other chassis locations.

Advantages

This extension cable preserves the standard pinout and polarity of IDE/Molex power connectors, ensuring compatibility with hard drives, optical drives, card readers and similar internal peripherals. The simple single-connector design reduces clutter and allows for neater cable routing. The cable's compact form factor and insulation are suitable for use inside typical desktop cases without interfering with airflow or other components when installed properly.

Suitable for

• Extending power to internal 3.5" and 2.5" hard drives and optical drives that use 4-pin Molex/IDE power connectors
• Relocating a drive to a different bay where the original cable is too short
• Improving cable routing and organization inside desktop computer cases
• Providing temporary or permanent power extension for internal peripherals such as card readers, fan controllers or older devices using IDE power

Key specifications

• Connector type (input): 4-pin male IDE/Molex power plug
• Connector type (output): 4-pin female IDE/Molex power socket
• Cable function: single-channel internal power extension for IDE/Molex devices
• Intended use: internal desktop PC chassis wiring
• Construction: insulated multi-conductor cable with molded connector housings

How to use

Disconnect power from the computer and ground yourself to avoid electrostatic discharge before working inside the chassis. Plug the male IDE power plug of the extension cable into an available power lead from the power supply, ensuring proper alignment of the connector to maintain correct polarity. Connect the female IDE power socket to the device's 4-pin power inlet until it seats firmly. Route the cable to avoid contact with moving parts such as fans and to maintain sufficient clearance for airflow and other components. Reconnect power and verify the connected device powers up and is detected by the system.

Recommendations

Use this cable only for internal, low-voltage DC power extension within desktop computer cases. Avoid exposing the cable to sharp edges, excessive heat sources, or liquids. Ensure connectors are fully seated and do not force misaligned plugs, and follow safety precautions when working with computer power supplies.
