What this cable does
The ZLKSKER 8 Pin CPU Power Extension Cable extends the ATX 12V connection between a power supply and a motherboard CPU socket. It uses an 8 inch length of 1007 18AWG tin-plated copper wire rated for 80°C and 300V. The male connector splits into two 4-pin plugs to fit either 4-pin or 8-pin motherboard headers. A safety lock on the plug prevents accidental disconnection during handling.
What to verify before ordering
Confirm your motherboard uses a standard 4-pin or 8-pin CPU power socket and that your power supply provides an 8-pin EPS output. The female end of this cable cannot be separated, so it must match the PSU connector exactly. Ensure the 8 inch reach covers the routing path inside your case without tension on the wires. Installation must be performed with the system fully powered off.
Behaviour under sustained load
The tin-plated copper conductors resist corrosion and oxidation, preserving conductivity over long periods at the rated 80°C temperature. PVC sheathing meets the UL VW-1 flame resistance test for added safety during continuous operation. The 18AWG cross-section of 0.81mm² supports the current demands of typical CPU power delivery without excessive voltage drop across the 20 cm length.

Questions about this item
Does the 8 inch extension include both the male and female connectors or do I need a separate 8 pin cable?
The cable has an 8 pin (4+4) male on one end and an 8 pin female on the other so it plugs directly between the PSU and motherboard with nothing else required.
When should I split the 8 pin male into two 4 pin plugs instead of using the full 8 pin?
Split the male connector when your motherboard only provides a 4 pin CPU power socket; the female end stays as an 8 pin socket and cannot be separated.
What current can the 18AWG tin plated copper conductors safely carry in a typical PC build?
18AWG tin plated copper with 0.81 mm² cross section is rated for 300 V and 80 °C, which covers standard ATX 12 V CPU power delivery.
