Custom cable wire for DIY builders
The Darkside DS-0656 is a pre-sleeved ATX and PCI-E wire with female terminals on both ends. It removes the need to sleeve or crimp individual conductors when assembling custom power cables. The graphite metallic finish suits colour-coordinated builds. It is sold as a single 45 cm length for modular cable projects.
Replaces bulk sleeving and loose pins
This wire replaces the raw sleeving, loose terminals and hand-crimping steps normally required for custom ATX cables. The jump is worth it when a builder wants consistent pin placement and uniform colour without investing in crimp tools or learning termination technique. It also saves time when re-pinning existing modular cables for a new colour scheme.
Simple push-in installation with removal tool
Each end pushes into standard ATX connector housings until the terminal latches. A Billy Brown extraction tool is recommended if a wire is seated in the wrong position, as the retention tabs are difficult to release by hand. No soldering or heat-shrink is required, but builders must verify pin-out compatibility with their specific power supply before seating the terminals.

Questions about this item
What length and connector type does this 45 cm wire use for ATX and PCI-E builds?
The DS-0656 is a 17.5 inch (45 cm) female-to-female pre-sleeved wire with standard ATX pins crimped on both ends, ready for ATX and PCI-E connector housings.
Which tool is recommended if I insert a pin into the wrong position on the connector?
A Billy Brown Tool is recommended to release and remove an incorrectly seated ATX pin from the connector housing without damaging the crimp or sleeve.
Will the graphite metallic sleeving fray or need re-sleeving after repeated routing?
The wire arrives pre-sleeved in graphite metallic; the sleeving is fixed over the crimped pins, so it does not require re-sleeving unless the sleeve itself is physically cut or abraded during installation.
