  • Product typeJumper Cable
  • Splits one 8-pin PCIe connector into two 6+2-pin outputs
  • Lightweight 69 g build adds minimal strain to power-supply cables
  • Black plastic housing matches typical PC interior aesthetics
  • Simple plug-and-play installation requires no tools or configuration

What this adapter does

This Unique-Bargains cable splits a single 8-pin PCI-Express connector from the power supply into two 6+2-pin connectors. It is intended for graphics cards that require dual 8-pin power inputs. The adapter is not compatible with motherboard power headers.

Thermals, noise and power draw

The adapter uses plastic and electrical parts with a net weight of 69g. It adds no active cooling and produces no audible noise. Power delivery is limited by the source 8-pin connector and the power supply's rated output.

Behaviour under sustained load

The cable maintains a passive connection between the power supply and the graphics card during continuous operation. It does not regulate voltage or current. Reliability depends on the quality of the source connector and the total power draw staying within the single 8-pin specification.

Questions about this item

How do I install the PCIe 8 Pin to Dual 6+2 Pin Adapter Cable and what step is often missed?

Connect the single 8-pin plug to the power supply PCIe cable, then attach each 6+2-pin branch to the graphics card; the step often missed is fully seating both 6+2-pin connectors so the latch clicks on each one.

What maintenance or replacement will this adapter cable need over time?

No routine maintenance is required; inspect the black plastic housings and wire insulation periodically and replace the cable if you see cracking, discoloration or melted spots.

What is the first limit that appears when the adapter runs under sustained load?

The 69 g cable assembly is rated for standard PCIe 8-pin current limits; sustained loads at or near that rating will cause connector temperature to become the limiting factor before the wire gauge does.
