- Splits one 8-pin PSU output into two GPU power connectors
- 6+2 detachable pins fit both 6-pin and 8-pin graphics card sockets
- Heavy-gauge copper wire reduces voltage drop under high GPU loads
- Flexible cable body enables tidy routing inside cases and mining chassis
- Supports dual-graphics-card gaming rigs and multi-GPU mining configurations
Single 8-pin to dual 6+2 GPU power splitter
This SMUGDESK adapter converts one 8-pin CPU or GPU output from a power supply into two 6+2 PCIe connectors. Each branch can serve as a full 8-pin or a 6-pin plug, supporting mainstream graphics cards. Thick copper conductors reduce voltage drop under heavy load. The flexible jacket eases routing inside cases or mining frames.
Suits builders adding a second GPU from one PSU rail
Ideal for desktop upgrades or multi-GPU mining rigs where the power supply has limited 8-pin ports but adequate total wattage and current headroom. Not for users whose PSU lacks spare 8-pin outputs or cannot deliver the combined current both cards demand. Also unsuitable for external power applications.
Shares one PSU 8-pin rail across two GPU connectors
The single specification that decides fit is that both 6+2 branches draw from the same 8-pin source. Buyers must verify their PSU’s 8-pin pin-out (CPU vs GPU) and confirm the rail supplies enough current for both graphics cards before connecting.

Questions about this item
Will the 6+2 detachable pins on the SMUGDESK splitter fit the 6-pin and 8-pin power sockets on my older graphics cards?
Each branch uses a detachable 6+2 pin design that can be combined as a full 8-pin connector or separated as a 6-pin connector, matching both mainstream 6-pin and 8-pin GPU power ports.
How can I verify the heavy-gauge copper wiring is delivering stable power after I install the splitter?
Check that both graphics cards power on without unexpected shutdowns or throttling under load, confirming the thick high-conductivity copper wire is maintaining reliable delivery.
What connectors come attached to the SMUGDESK splitter and do I need any extra cables?
The cable has a single 8-pin male plug for the PSU and two 6+2 pin female branches for GPUs; no additional cables are included, so ensure your power supply has a free 8-pin GPU port.
