Cable Matters 104080x2 8 Pin EPS CPU Extension Cable 10 Inches 2-Pack

8-Pin EPS CPU Extension Pair

This two-pack of 8-pin EPS male-to-female extension cables adds 10 inches of reach between a power supply and a motherboard CPU power header. They suit builders working in larger cases or custom layouts where the stock PSU leads fall short. Each cable carries the 12 V EPS power required by modern desktop processors. The braided sleeve protects the conductors and helps airflow inside the chassis.

Length and Routing Constraints

A 10-inch extension bridges moderate gaps but cannot span full-tower widths or dual-chassis layouts without additional length. The fixed male-to-female orientation means the PSU cable must reach the extension's male end, so total run is PSU lead plus 10 inches. Builders needing longer runs or right-angle connectors must source different parts. The braided construction adds stiffness that can limit tight bends behind motherboard trays.

8-Pin EPS Connector Compatibility

These cables only fit motherboards and power supplies that use the standard 8-pin EPS/ATX12V keying. They will not mate with 4+4-pin split headers unless the board accepts the full 8-pin block, nor with 6-pin PCIe or 12VHPWR connectors. Verify the motherboard manual specifies an 8-pin EPS socket before purchase. The pair provides one spare for dual-CPU boards or future rebuilds.
