Product Features
Technical Overview
This power extension cable features standard 24-pin ATX connectors on both ends, with precise pin alignment for secure mating with motherboard and power supply interfaces. The 8-inch length provides practical extension without creating excessive cable clutter, making it ideal for cases where the original power supply cables fall just short of optimal routing paths.
The cable meets ATX 2.01 specification requirements, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of desktop motherboards that use the standard 24-pin power connector. Each connection point maintains proper contact resistance and current carrying capacity to deliver stable +3.3V, +5V, and +12V rails as required by motherboard components.
Relevant factors for this section include Cord Length, Compatibility, Country of Origin, Environmentally Friendly. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

FAQ
What motherboards is this power extension cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with ATX 2.01 motherboards that use the standard 24-pin power connector. It maintains proper pin alignment and power delivery for motherboards following this specification, ensuring stable voltage across all power rails required by modern desktop computing components.
How long is the ATX24POWEXT extension cable?
The cable measures 8 inches in length, which equals 203.20 millimeters or approximately 20 centimeters. This provides practical extension for power supply cables that may fall short in certain PC case configurations or custom builds, offering enough reach for improved cable routing without creating excessive slack.
Does this cable come with any warranty coverage?
Yes, StarTech.com provides a lifetime limited warranty for this power extension cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the lifespan of the product, offering assurance of quality and durability for your PC building or upgrade projects.
What environmental certifications does this product have?
The cable meets EU RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) requirements, along with compliance for REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive). These certifications ensure the product is manufactured with restricted substance compliance and proper electronic waste management considerations.
Can I use this extension with non-ATX 2.01 motherboards?
This cable is specifically designed for ATX 2.01 motherboard compatibility. While it may physically connect to other 24-pin motherboard connectors, optimal performance and proper power delivery are guaranteed only with ATX 2.01 compliant motherboards. Always verify your motherboard's power connector specification before installation.
What is included in the package with this cable?
The product ships as a single unit containing just the 24-pin ATX power extension cable. No additional accessories, mounting hardware, or documentation are included beyond the cable itself, though product documentation is available through StarTech.com's support resources for reference if needed.
