Cybenetics and Hardware Busters measure 450 mm for the SATA and Molex cables and 155 mm for the SATA spacing. The maker figures are stored. The 12V-2x6 to dual PCIe cable and the native 12V-2x6 cable use the same 12V-2x6 socket, so they are alternatives. Gauges come from the Cybenetics report.5Measurementcybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/3167Read 15 October 2026Cables and Connectors table: ATX 20+4 pin 600 mm 16AWG, 2 x 4+4 pin EPS12V 700 mm 16AWG, 3 x 6+2 pin PCIe 550 mm 16AWG, the 2x 6+2 pin PCIe cable 550 mm 18AWG, 12+4 pin PCIe 600 mm (600W) 16-24AWG, 2 SATA cables with 8 plugs in total 450 mm + 155 mm x 3 18AWG and 1 Molex cable with 4 plugs 450 mm + 150 mm x 3 18AWG. The 16-24AWG range of the 12V-2x6 cable includes the sideband wires, so 16AWG is stored as the power wire gauge. The report lists the dual PCIe cable as 2 cables with 2 connectors, while Lian Li and Hardware Busters count 1 cable with 2 plugs. The maker count is stored.6Reviewhwbusters.com/psus/lian-li-sx1000p-1000w-atx-v3-1-psu-reviewRead 15 October 2026Page 2: the modular panel has a dedicated 12V-2x6 socket, five CPU and PCIe sockets, four peripheral sockets and the split 18+10-pin motherboard pair. The bundle has three single PCIe 6+2-pin cables and one cable from the 12V-2x6 socket to two 6+2-pin plugs. That cable and the native 12V-2x6 cable are alternatives, so the five legacy PCIe plugs and the native cable cannot all be used together.
