Extension Cable For 8 Pin PCIe Graphics Power

This Monoprice cable set adds 12 inches of reach between a power supply and an 8 pin PCIe graphics connector. Each pack contains two black extensions with a male end and a female end. The 18 AWG tinned copper conductors are wrapped in a flexible PVC jacket for durability. A locking connector helps prevent accidental disconnection during assembly or transport.

Male To Female Design Fits Existing PSU Cables

The extensions plug directly into the 8 pin PCIe leads already coming from the power supply, so no new PSU is required. They relieve strain on the graphics card power socket by providing extra slack inside the case. The 12 inch length allows cleaner routing behind motherboard trays or around drive cages. Two cables are included for cards that need dual 8 pin connections.

Suits Builders Needing Extra Length On Standard 8

This product works for anyone extending an existing 8 pin PCIe cable by 12 inches. It does not convert 6 pin or SATA connectors to 8 pin, so systems lacking native 8 pin PCIe outputs cannot use it. Buyers who need longer runs, right angle plugs, or different connector types should look elsewhere.
