PCIe 8-pin splitter for GPU upgrades

This 8-pin PCIe splitter cable adds two additional power connectors to an existing power supply so a graphics card can draw the power it needs without replacing the PSU. The pack contains two braided Y-splitter cables each measuring 20 cm in length. They are designed for desktop PC builders who want a simple way to support a higher-power GPU.

18 AWG copper with 6+2 male ends

Each cable uses 18 AWG copper conductors rated for 12 volts and terminates in dual 8-pin (6+2) male connectors that can serve either 6-pin or 8-pin GPU sockets. The input end is an 8-pin female header that plugs into the power supply. Latching connectors on both ends secure the connection against accidental disconnection.

Suits builders with one spare 8-pin PSU lead

The splitter suits anyone whose power supply has a single 8-pin PCIe output but whose graphics card requires two 6-pin or 8-pin inputs. It will not help builders whose PSU lacks any 8-pin PCIe connector or who need more than two additional GPU plugs.

Questions about this item

How does the 18 AWG wire gauge affect power delivery to my GPU?

The 18 AWG copper core is rated for 12 volts and handles the current draw of modern graphics cards through the splitter without excessive voltage drop.

What does the 8-pin female to dual 8-pin (6+2) male configuration actually connect?

One end plugs into an 8-pin PCIe cable from your power supply; the other end splits into two connectors that each fit either a 6-pin or 8-pin GPU socket.

Will the 20 cm braided Y-splitter reach between my PSU cable and a large graphics card?

Each cable is 20 cm long, so measure the gap between your PSU's PCIe connector and the GPU's power sockets to confirm fit.
