Dell OptiPlex ATX adapter cable
This 30 cm cable converts a standard ATX 24-pin connector into the proprietary 8-pin motherboard plug used on Dell OptiPlex 3020, 7020, 9020 and Precision T1700 systems. It uses 1007 18 AWG tinned copper wire rated for 1000 W loads. The assembly weighs 42 g and is built for new condition installation.
Builders reusing standard PSUs in listed Dells
The adapter suits anyone fitting an off-the-shelf power supply into the supported OptiPlex or Precision chassis where the motherboard expects an 8-pin main power header. It does not suit systems with a different pin count or non-standard 24-pin wiring, nor does it replace the separate CPU 4-pin connector that these boards also require.
ATX 24-pin must follow the standard pinout
The cable only works when the donor power supply follows the ATX 24-pin specification; proprietary or server pinouts will not function. Verify that the PSU 24-pin header matches the ATX standard before purchasing.

Questions about this item
Will the 18 AWG tinned copper wires or the connectors need replacement after extended use?
The cable uses 18 AWG tinned copper wire rated for 1000 W supplies and standard ATX 24-pin and Dell 8-pin connectors, so no scheduled replacement is required under normal operation.
What is the first limit reached when the adapter runs a 1000 W power supply continuously?
The 18 AWG conductors and ATX-standard pinout are specified for 1000 W, so the cable’s current rating is the limiting factor before connector temperature becomes an issue.
How much heat or noise does the 30 cm cable add when the system runs all day?
A passive 30 cm 18 AWG adapter generates no noise and negligible heat; any warmth comes from the power supply and motherboard components, not the cable itself.
