Seems strange that you're having trouble. Which case? PSU? Generally, 3-4 SATA power connectors appear on a single cable coming off the PSU, but that would depend on the PSU. They're generally long enough to reach the optical drive, as well as connect to 1 or 2 HDD.

 

Re-position the Optical drive if possible, and use any other SATA power connector (typical PSU should have at least 2 cables with SATA Power connectors).

 

Need more information to provide other possible solutions.
