Internal power cable Akasa AK-CB052 0.1 m

The Akasa AK-CB052 is a 0.1 m internal power cable that converts a PSU 6-pin PCIe connector to an 8-pin PCIe 2.0 connector. It allows older power supplies with 6-pin PCIe outputs to connect to modern ATI and NVIDIA graphics cards that require an 8-pin PCIe power input, while helping to keep internal cabling tidy.

Advantages

This adapter provides a straightforward and reliable way to update PSU compatibility without replacing the power supply. It uses quality connectors and an 18 AWG cable to ensure stable power delivery to the graphics card. The short 0.1 m length minimizes excess cable inside the case for improved cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PSU 6-pin PCIe output to a GPU with an 8-pin PCIe input
• Upgrading compatibility for ATI and NVIDIA video cards that require an 8-pin connector
• Compact PC builds where short internal cables are preferred

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.1 m
• Connector 1: PCI-E (6-pin)
• Connector 2: PCI-E (8-pin, PCIe 2.0 standard)
• Cable gauge: 18 AWG
• Brand: Akasa, MPN: AK-CB052, EAN: 4710614529441

How to use

Power off the PC and unplug it from mains before installing the adapter. Plug the 6-pin end into the corresponding PCIe output from the power supply and connect the 8-pin end to the graphics card's power socket. Ensure connectors are fully seated and secure before powering on the system. Do not force connectors; align pins correctly to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Use this adapter only when the PSU can safely supply the GPU’s power requirements. Verify the graphics card’s power draw and the power supply’s capacity; if the card’s power demand exceeds the PSU’s capabilities, consider upgrading the power supply instead of relying on an adapter.
