18 cm ATX 12V 4-pin CPU power extension

This 18 cm cable extends the ATX 12V 4-pin CPU power connection between a power supply and a motherboard. It has a 4-pin male connector on one end and a 4-pin female connector on the other. The extender is intended for builders who need a little extra reach when routing the CPU power cable inside a chassis. It ships as a single cable without a retail box.

Thermals, noise and power draw in normal use

The cable itself is a passive copper conductor with no active components, so it generates no heat and makes no noise. It simply carries the 12 V current already supplied by the power supply to the motherboard socket. Normal use adds no measurable power draw beyond the negligible resistance of the 18 cm wire run.

Replaces a short factory CPU power lead

This extender replaces or supplements the fixed CPU power cable that comes with a power supply when that lead is too short to reach the motherboard socket cleanly. The jump is worth it when cable routing behind the motherboard tray or around large coolers leaves a gap of a few centimetres. It is not for builders who need a longer run than 18 cm or who require an 8-pin EPS connector instead of the 4-pin P4 format.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 4-pin male end to my motherboard's ATX 12V CPU socket without bending the pins?

Align the keyed 4-pin male connector with the motherboard's ATX 12V socket notch, press straight down until the latch clicks, and avoid angling the plug which bends the delicate pins.

Will the 18cm extension cable degrade over time and require replacement?

The cable uses standard copper conductors with PVC insulation; under normal indoor use it does not degrade appreciably and no scheduled replacement is needed.

At what current load does the 18cm cable hit its thermal limit during sustained CPU power draw?

The 4-pin ATX 12V connector is rated for 12 A per pin; sustained loads near that rating will cause the cable to reach its thermal limit first.
