The TC5-8 is an eight inch power cable with a 4-pin female "Molex"-style power connector at one end and a 15-pin SATA-style power connector at the other end. The TC5-8 is intended to conduct power from a Tableau T3u or T345 forensic bridge to a subject SATA hard disk.

NOTE: SATA hard disks have either a 4-pin "Molex"-style power connector (also referred to as a legacy power connector), a newer 15-pin SATA-style power connector, or both. SATA hard disks with the older connector can use the TC2-8. SATA hard disks with the newer connector can use the TC5-8. SATA hard disks with both connectors can use either the TC2-8 or TC5-8, but you must never use both at the same time.
