SATA power cable woes

Hi all,

Does anyone know where to find either of these cables?

a 15 pin to 15 pin SATA power cable (preferred)
OR
a 15 pin SATA to 4 pin FEMALE power connector

After searching for hours for the first cable (15 to 15pin) and not finding
one anywhere on the Internet, I gave up and began to search for the second
cable (15pin SATA PWR to 4 pin FEMALE power) with no luck at all.
There are hundreds of sites with a 15pin SATA PWR to 4 pin MALE cables but
none have the 4 pin in a FEMALE version.

Why am I looking for cables like these? Because they are for hot swap
drives in a server running a backplane that only accepts the SATA 15pin
power jack.
The SATA drive has a 15pin power jack and a 4 pin power jack so I figured I
could find a cable to suit my needs.

It seems that these cables do not exist at all, and I was going to just
build my own specialty cables (though I need about 32 of them, so you can
see why it would be easier to just find them pre-made instead of buying 32
of the cables with the 4 pin MALE connectors, clipping them off, and
replacing the ends with the FEMALE 4 pin - Don't even want to try making my
own 15pin to 15pin cables), but surely I am simply an ignorant, blind fool
who can't scrape his way out of a brown paper bag.

Anyone?

TIA,
MC Dave

Is this what you are looking for?

It is a 15-pin SATA backplane board with a 4-Pin SATA cable.
