All lengths have a tolerance of 10 mm. PATA plugs are the 4-pin Molex plugs. The listing and the quick start guide say 12VHPWR, but the Overview calls the GPU cable a PCIe 5.1 12V-2x6 cable and the Corsair 12V-2x6 explainer lists it as a 12V-2x6 cable. The maker names it both ways, so it is stored as 16-pin PCIe. The page does not rate the cable.

The cable runs from two 8-pin Micro-Fit sockets on the PSU to a 12+4 pin plug, as the SF1000 gallery image and the Hardware Busters review show. It is a cable of its own, not an adapter on another cable.

The 16-24AWG range of the 12V-2x6 cable includes the sideband wires, so no gauge is stored for it. The ATX gauge is not stored because the Hardware Busters copy prints 16-20AWG and 310 mm. The 600W rating is printed next to the 12-pin cable. Corsair's 400 mm cable length is stored.8Reviewhwbusters.com/psus/corsair-sf1000-atx-v3-1-psu-reviewRead 15 October 2026Cables page: the review sample had 3 PCIe 6+2 cables, while Corsair's list and the Cybenetics report have 4.
