FAQ
What devices are compatible with the Supermicro CBL-PWEX-1040 power cord?
The CBL-PWEX-1040 is compatible with graphics processing units, servers, and motherboards that require supplemental PCI-E power. It connects 8-pin female power sources to dual 6+2pin PCI-E male connectors, supporting GPUs and other PCI-E expansion cards that need additional power beyond standard motherboard provisions.
What is the length of this internal power cord?
This power cord measures 2 inches in length, making it ideal for short internal runs within computer chassis, server enclosures, or compact builds. The short length minimizes cable clutter and improves airflow while providing sufficient reach for typical PCI-E power connections.
What connector types does the CBL-PWEX-1040 feature?
The cord features three connectors: one 8-pin female connector on the first end and two 6+2pin PCI-E male connectors on the second end. The 6+2pin design provides flexibility for graphics cards that require either 6-pin or 8-pin PCI-E power inputs, allowing compatibility with various GPU models.
Is this power cord designed for internal or external use?
The CBL-PWEX-1040 is specifically designed for internal use within computer cases, server chassis, or other enclosed computing environments. It connects internal power supply units or motherboard headers to PCI-E devices, and is not intended for external power connections between separate devices.
What are the color specifications of this power cord?
The power cord features yellow and black coloration, which aids in visual identification during installation and maintenance. This color coding helps distinguish it from other internal cables and aligns with common industry standards for power cable identification.
Can this power cord support multiple PCI-E devices simultaneously?
Yes, the dual 6+2pin PCI-E male connectors allow the cord to power two separate PCI-E devices or provide dual power inputs to a single high-performance graphics card. This configuration supports devices that require multiple power connections for stable operation under heavy loads.
