The page says primary cables are 16-20 AWG and APH Networks says 18 AWG, so gauges are stored only for the 12V-2x6 cable.6Reviewaphnetworks.com/reports/fractal-design-ion-3-gold-1000w/2Read 15 October 2026Page 2: 16 AWG wires on the 12V-2x6 bundle only, everything else 18 AWG. The 12V-2x6 header is 16-pin 600W. Only the 12V-2x6 gauge is stored because KitGuru gives a 16-20 AWG range for the other cables. The APH list of SATA cables disagrees with the maker, so the maker table is used.
