Who it's for
Designed for users who have power supplies with 6-pin PCIe connectors but need to connect graphics cards requiring an 8-pin PCIe power plug.
Why it's good
The short 15.5 cm cable keeps your system cable management neat and carries CE and REACH certifications, ensuring it meets safety and environmental standards.
