Goobay Power Supply Cable 8-Pin Male to Dual 6+2 Male PCIe 0.23m

The Goobay Power Supply Cable 8-Pin Male to Dual 6+2 Male PCIe 0.23m is a short adapter cable designed to route power from a PSU output to one or two PCI Express graphics card inputs. The cable features a single 8-pin male plug on one end and two independent 6+2-pin male PCIe connectors on the other end, enabling compatibility with modern GPUs that accept 6-pin, 8-pin or 6+2-pin PCIe power plugs. At 0.23 meters length, the cable is intended for internal PC installations where a compact, direct connection is required between the power supply and the graphics card.

Advantages

This adapter provides a compact solution to supply additional PCIe power without replacing the power supply or rerouting longer cable runs. The dual 6+2-pin outputs allow flexible connection to GPUs requiring single or multiple power inputs, and the molded connectors ensure consistent contact. Its short length reduces cable clutter inside the case and helps maintain tidy airflow paths around the graphics card.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PSU 8-pin PCIe output to one or two graphics card PCIe power inputs
• Compact PC builds where short internal cabling is needed
• Upgrading or assembling a system that requires a 6+2-pin PCIe connection

Key specifications

• Cable type: 8-pin male to dual 6+2-pin male (PCIe) adapter
• Length: 0.23 m
• Connector gender: male-to-male
• Signal type: DC power for PCI Express graphics cards
• Construction: molded plastic connectors with multi-conductor power cable

How to use

Power off the PC and unplug it from the mains before installation. Identify the 8-pin power output on the power supply and insert the adapter’s 8-pin male connector fully into the matching PSU socket. Route the cable to the graphics card and connect one or both 6+2-pin male PCIe connectors to the card’s power sockets as required, ensuring secure and correctly oriented seating. After connections are made, verify that no cables obstruct fans or airflow, then restore mains power and power on the system to check functionality.

Usage recommendations

Use this adapter only with compatible power supplies and graphics cards; avoid drawing more current than the PSU rail is rated for. Inspect connectors for damage before each use and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. Do not use the adapter as a permanent substitute for proper PSU cables if the original cables provided by the power supply manufacturer are available.
