Hi,

I customized one of my SATA power cables using 3 Connectx connectors, with 2 pass-through and 1 end cap.

I have now added another drive, and I'd like to make change the cable so that the new drive goes through the end cap, and I'd add another pass through connector.

Does anyone know if these type of connectors once removed, can be reused, or are they pretty much shot once they're pulled off the cable?

Thanks,

Man thats a tough one to answer. If you think you can make all the connections good then probably. I think it would be just simpler to use new cables on the 2 HDDs. :)

Good luck

Thanks, actually, I decided to just buy one more pass through and I'll route the cable upside down, so that I can keep the original 3 in place, and just place the new pass through at the location of the new HD, without having to try to carefully remove and reuse the existing connectors. These are so handy, though, another great AC Ryan product!
