Internal Power Cable ShiverPeaks BS78231-HQ 0.2m

The ShiverPeaks BS78231-HQ internal power cable is a compact 0.2 m cable engineered for internal PC power distribution. One end has a single 4-pin Molex connector and the other end splits into two 4-pin Molex connectors, enabling one power source to feed two devices. The short length is suitable for tidy cable routing in small or tightly packed cases and helps reduce excess cable clutter while maintaining standard Molex connectivity for legacy drives, fans and peripheral devices.

Advantages

This internal power cable offers a reliable physical connection using standard 4-pin Molex connectors and solid contact pins to minimise intermittent power loss. Its 0.2 m length reduces internal cable slack for improved airflow and neater builds. The splitter configuration allows efficient powering of two components from a single power outlet without additional adapters, providing a straightforward solution for systems with limited cable reach.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy IDE/optical drives and other peripherals that use 4-pin Molex power connectors
• Powering multiple case fans or LED controllers from a single Molex power source
• Use in compact or small-form-factor PC builds where short cable runs are required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.2 m
• Connector types: one 4-pin Molex to two 4-pin Molex (splitter)
• Intended use: internal PC power distribution
• Compatibility: standard Molex 4-pin powered peripherals
• Cable construction: insulated multi-conductor wire with molded connectors

How to use

Power off the computer and disconnect the PSU from mains before installation. Plug the single 4-pin Molex connector into an available Molex power output from the power supply, ensuring correct orientation so the plastic key aligns with the socket. Connect the two 4-pin Molex ends to the target devices, seating each connector firmly until it clicks or is fully engaged. Route the 0.2 m cable to minimise contact with moving parts and to avoid obstructing airflow. After connections are secure, restore mains power and verify that the connected devices receive power during system start-up.

Recommendations

Use this splitter for low- to moderate-current peripherals; avoid combining high-draw devices on a single Molex rail to prevent overloading. Keep the cable clear of sharp edges and hot components, and verify connector polarity and seating before powering the system.
