Splitter for single 8-pin sources
This cable splits one 8-pin PCIe power connector into two 6+2-pin male plugs. It lets a graphics card that needs dual power inputs draw from a single port on the power supply. The 20 cm length suits compact builds where excess cable would block airflow.
18 AWG wire and 300 W limit
The 18 AWG copper conductors handle typical mid-range cards within the 300 W safety ceiling for a single 6-pin source. Running two high-draw GPUs or a single card that exceeds this limit risks overheating the wire and the source connector. Check your card’s total board power before connecting both branches.
Fixed length and connector gender
The 20 cm reach restricts routing options in larger chassis or when the power supply sits far from the graphics card. The male 6+2-pin ends plug directly into the card, so no extra adapters are needed, but the short pigtail cannot be extended without adding another junction. Builders needing longer runs should plan cable management accordingly.

Questions about this item
Will the 8-inch 18 AWG splitter reach a second GPU slot on an older motherboard?
The cable is 20 cm long, so measure from your PSU 8-pin port to the farthest graphics-card connector; if the gap exceeds 20 cm you will need a longer lead.
How can I confirm the 6+2-pin ends are delivering power to my card after installation?
Power on the system and verify the GPU fans spin and the board posts; if the card shows no life, reseat both 6+2-pin plugs and check the PSU 8-pin source connection.
Does the package include any extra 6-pin adapters or mounting ties?
Only the 8-pin female to dual 6+2-pin male splitter is supplied; no additional adapters or cable ties are included.
