Sleaving over SATA plugs

**gvblake22** · March 10th, 2006

How can it be done??? I want to sleave my PSU, but I can't figure out how to safely get the SATA connectors off (or back on) to be able to sleave that cable. Anyone have any experience with this?

You can buy a little kit that pulls all the plugs safely....I'll see if I can find one

REALLY! I'm an idiot then. I've seen the tools that do the molex pins and stuff, but I've never seen ones that do SATA plugs. If you could find something, I would be forever greatful Capper! :)

I'm pretty sure that the SATA connectors are the kind that pinch onto the wiring itself. All you would have to do is 'open' the SATA connector and remove it, sleeve your wiring, then use that SATA connector to snap it onto wiring, using its teeth to bite into the molex wires to make the connection, then 'close' the SATA connector to finish the project.

THIS may help.
