What type of power connection does this use? Please tell me it can do a molex?

It comes wired with 1 molex connector, but it only uses two pins. Be advised mine came with white LED's not blue. The picture is not accurate. You can paint the LED's which is what I did.

No, it does not. The power source comes from your computer power supply using either the Molex plug or SATA plug. Modern power supplies have both so take your pick. The two supplied USB cables are for signal connections to either 40-pin header on motherboard or Type-A USB to an expansion card with internal USB jack.

I believe a four pin molex. You have to plug it in from the wire coming out of the power supply. You don't need a motherboard and the pci slot switch goes in the back to turn them on and off. Hope this helps

I went to youtube look for Assembling a Molex Connector there are many more that will be helpful

It is connected by a 4 pin molex connector. You would be unable to connect to usb or a wall plug.

Sorry for the basic question but did you plug in the molex power? It will not work correctly without additional power. If you have another pcie slot to try then do that. Mine is okay

It's very easy, you just need to find a spare molex power connector on your power supply.

If you have a extra power dongle from the power supply, you can use it. If not, you can purchase a Computer Molex 4 Pin Power Supply Y Splitter CableGeneric from Amazon

Hooks up to the motherboard 3 or 4 pin that's the only power connection it has but you could connect it to your power supply using a three pin Molex adapter.

The tsp143l needs power. And connects via Ethernet through a. Router. They make one that is a USB powered connection. The tsp100eco I believe.

Two of the power cables have SATA connectors. Others are 4 pin Molex which can be used for SATA with an appropriate adapter that costs about $3.00.

most molex to 6. or 8 pin adapters come with missing pins. it does not matter or change how the card works. but if you buy a after market power connecter, usualy the pins are all there, at least on the 6 or 8 pin side. the molex side always has missing pins. its made that way.

Actually it doesn't have a molex connector (as one person suggested) it draws power through the usb header on your motherboard. The reason for this I assume is because of the way a lot of newer electronic devices are defining the concept of "off." On most newer electronics turnig the off switch on a device does for all intents and purposes turn that device off but the only way that you can be 100% certain that no current is trickling through the system is to disconnect the power cord. For instance if I turn my PC off using the power switch on the front of the case, it does turn the pc off. That is it is not in hibernation or sleep mode it is turned to the position that the maker of the system components in my pc considers to be "off." However if I open my case and look at my motherboard I can find a small green led on my motherboard that is still lit. That led will remain lit until I either turn the power switch on my power supply off or if I disconnect the power cord. For what ever reason as long as that power supply is on there is still a small bit of current running through my motherboard. I really don't know why manufacturers build things this way but I suspect that it has to do with the fact that that small amount of current does basically two things, 1.) It makes your system power up faster when you turn the power switch on, and two powering on a system that has a small amount of current running through it is easier on that system than powering it on from a completely "cold" state. The fact that the power light stays on on the card reader is simply due to the fact that the usb headers are drawing a bit of power from this current that is flowing through the system.

It only has two SATA power connectors but they are on separate cables. This helped me because of the distance between the two sata power devices I was using. They were too far apart for another PS I was using that had two sata connectors but on the same cable. The other connections are standard molex, the motherboard 4 pin power connector (can't remember if there are one or two), and the 20+4 connection.

I don't Completely understand what you are asking, But that is what I am using it for. You must have a PCI-E slot on the motherboard and connect external power using one of the y adapters included (both Molex AND SATA are included) to a HDD/CD power connector. Assuming your motherboard & operating system can meet these requirements it SHOULD work. Drivers are included as well.

The last picture has 2 types of adapters. The ones on the left are Molex to PCI-e power adapters. They are used if you have an older power supply that doesn't have PCI-e power outlets. The white one on the right is a DVI-VGA adapter. I am currently using that adapter, since my triple monitor setup doesn't like to recognize any of the monitors if I have a DVI/DVI/HDMI setup. For whatever strange reason, that goes away if I go with a DVI/DVI-VGA/HDMI setup. Just a strange hiccup I have had with this card.

Yes, but you would have to connect it to the molex to SATA splitter adapter because the card itself only accepts SATA power.
