SATA power supply adapter ShiverPeaks 78236-HQ, length 13.30 cm, for 5.25 inch bay connection

SATA power supply adapter ShiverPeaks 78236-HQ is a cable adapter 13.30 cm long designed to route SATA power from an internal power supply to a device or extension that is accessed through a 5.25" drive bay. The adapter provides a compact connection for powering front-bay accessories or devices installed in external bays while allowing the main power supply cables to remain inside the case. Its length is suitable for typical mid-tower and full-tower installations where a short pass-through to a 5.25" opening is required.

Advantages

The adapter offers a simple, space-saving solution for supplying SATA power through a 5.25" bay without the need to run longer internal cables or modify the PSU cabling. Its standardized SATA power connector ensures compatibility with a wide range of SATA-powered components, and the fixed cable length simplifies installation planning. The adapter keeps wiring tidy near the front of the case and helps maintain clear airflow by reducing cable clutter.

Suitable for

• Powering front-bay accessories that require SATA power via a 5.25" opening
• Connecting SATA-powered devices installed in external drive bays or brackets
• Routing power for fan controllers, card readers, or lighting controllers mounted in a 5.25" bay
• Temporary power routing when reorganizing internal cabling or troubleshooting PSU connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: SATA power adapter for 5.25" bay connection
• Length: 13.30 cm (approx. 0.133 m)
• Connector: standard SATA power plug compatible with SATA-powered components
• Intended use: internal PC cable for routing power through a front 5.25" bay

How to use

Install the adapter by routing the cable through the computer case to the 5.25" bay opening and connecting the SATA power plug to the device or extension located at the bay. On the power supply side, connect the adapter to an available SATA power output or to the existing internal SATA power cabling as appropriate. Ensure all connections are fully seated and secure, and verify that the connected device receives power before closing the case. Power off the system and disconnect the mains before making or changing any internal connections.

Recommendations

Use the adapter in well-ventilated cases and avoid stretching the cable; route it along existing cable channels or tie-down points to minimize strain. Check compatibility of the receiving device with SATA power specifications and avoid connecting multiple high-current devices to a single power line without verifying PSU capacity.
