Black 8-pin CPU power extension cable with sleeved wires and connectors

Ruth's sister

Ruth's sister CPU 8-pin power extension cable

SKU CH-5QD2-ZAY93

Extends an 8-pin CPU power connection when the PSU cable cannot reach the motherboard socket

  • Extends CPU power reach when cables fall short
  • 8-pin motherboard connector only, not for graphics cards
  • Metal and TPA construction for durable daily use
  • Includes one extension cord, ready to install
  • Manual measurement tolerance of 0.1–0.3 cm

Purpose and fit

This new CPU power extension cable from Ruth's sister adds reach between a power supply and a motherboard 8-pin connector. It suits builders whose chassis layout leaves the stock cable too short to reach the socket. The integrated 8-pin design plugs directly into the motherboard header. It is not compatible with graphics card 8-pin connectors.

Connector compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the 8-pin motherboard power interface on one end and the matching 8-pin power supply interface on the other. The cable is explicitly restricted to motherboard use and must not be connected to a graphics card power input. Metal and TPA construction provides the electrical path and insulation.

Length headroom and limits

The extension solves the common problem of a power supply lead that cannot reach the motherboard socket in larger cases. It adds the extra run needed for tidy routing behind the motherboard tray or around bulky coolers. The cable does not increase the power delivery capability of the supply itself. Buyers who need a GPU power extension or a different pin count will need a separate product.

Questions about this item

What does the 8-pin CPU extension add to a build?

It lengthens the existing EPS power lead so the motherboard connector can be reached when the power-supply cable falls short in a large chassis.

Can this cable be used on a graphics-card 8-pin socket?

No, the product notes state it is only for the motherboard CPU power header and must not be connected to a graphics card.

What clearance is needed to fit the connector?

The connector uses a standard 8-pin EPS form factor; the only dimensional note is a possible manual-measurement tolerance of 0.1–0.3 cm.
