I have a 1 to 4 SATA splitter that looks like this one:

Are these considered molded SATA cables, i.e., the ones that are known to cause fires? Or does that only apply to MOLEX to SATA cables?

EDIT: Thanks for replies, will use a different cable.

Currently have PSU cable that is 3x SATA and 1x MOLEX in series. Instead of attaching a 1->4 SATA splitter to one of the SATA connectors I'll use this crimped MOLEX TO SATA and attach that at the end, so that cable can handle up to 7 drives
