I can't find one of these in the UK

I need a female to female Molex power cable for my NanoPi M4 project connecting 4 SATA drives in a drive bay to my board - the only one I can find is [https://www.infinitecables.com/power-cables/internal-pc-power-cables/12-inch-lp4-female-to-lp4-female-internal-power-cable/\](https://www.infinitecables.com/power-cables/internal-pc-power-cables/12-inch-lp4-female-to-lp4-female-internal-power-cable/) and they don't ship to the UK - I find it unbeliveable I can't buy one in the UK/EU - all suggestion gratefully received.

Maybe a workaround :laugh: StarTech.com LP4 to 2x LP4 Power Y Splitter Cable M: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics[^]
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question
-
Would that work just using both the female plugs

Yes of course! Why it should not work? It is a splitter and the females are parallel.

Ah but it's electrickery to me :-D - thanks for your help

No problem :) If it should not work, pass me the explanation why it does not work _and_ your EBAN and I will return you the £1.98

Now I stand for all what I have write, but please allow me a question: Why one needs such a female to female extension?

The power output on my SBC board is a male Molex and the power input on my drive housing is also a male Molex so I need a female to female Molex cable.

Anyway check also again by yourself. According to the pictures, for me it looks ok. In the picture from your link both connectors have bottom/top the same alignement while in the link I sent, one is turned by 180°. If I compare the wires now and take that fact (one turned) into account, both cables are the same for me.

In any case, check again exactly. You will not believe it, but I had a nightmare that night in which your devices went down because I was wrong. I was about to get up at four o'clock in the morning to check everything again :doh: :laugh:

Just to update you, the cable you suggested duly arrived , but when I fitted it the drives and the fan span up and down ( like revvivg an engine on a starting grid ) constantly when powered from the hat. If I power it from the USBC on the board all is good ( although I suspect it's not getting enough power ) any ideas ?

Is the power output of the SBC ok? Sorry, no other idea.
