SMUGDESK 16AWG PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR 16Pin Male to Dual 8Pin Female Power Splitter Cord 0.3m

SKU CH-E0XZ-GZZ0G

PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR 16-pin male to dual 8-pin female splitter powers RTX 40 and 50 series cards with 16AWG copper and braided sleeving

  • Thick 16AWG copper core handles high RTX 40/50 power demands
  • PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR 16Pin male splits to dual 8Pin female connectors
  • Braided sleeving protects against abrasion and improves case airflow
  • Short 0.3m length removes cable clutter for cleaner builds
  • Detachable 2Pin tabs on each 8Pin fit both 6Pin and 8Pin PSU cables

Purpose & Audience

This PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR splitter cable connects a single 16-pin GPU connector to two 8-pin PCIe power cables from a modular power supply. It is built for DIY builders and upgrader installing RTX 40 or 50 series graphics cards that draw high peak power through the 12+4 interface.

Upgrade Context

The cord replaces a single 12VHPWR cable or an older adapter when your PSU only offers dual 8-pin PCIe outputs. The jump is worth it when moving to a flagship GPU that requires the 16-pin connection and your power supply lacks a native 12VHPWR lead.

Compatibility Checklist

Verify your power supply provides two independent 8-pin PCIe cables rated for the GPU’s peak draw. Confirm the graphics card uses the 12+4 16-pin socket and that .3 metre reach suits your chassis routing. Ensure the removable 2-pin tabs match your PSU’s 6+2 pin configuration.

Questions about this item

What length and connector type does the cable use to reach the PSU?

The cord measures 0.3 m and ends in two detachable 8(6+2)Pin PCIe female connectors that plug into modular power-supply cables.

How do I attach the 16-pin side to the graphics card without bending pins?

Align the 12+4 16Pin male plug with the GPU socket, press straight in until the latch clicks, and avoid angling the connector during insertion.

When should I inspect or replace the sleeved splitter cord?

Check the braided sleeving and connector pins whenever you rebuild or upgrade the system; replace the cable if the sleeving frays or any pin shows discolouration or looseness.
