The first spacing value is stored as the length to the first plug. Tech Specs: SATA connector 8, PATA connector 1. Wire gauges come from the Cybenetics report. Cybenetics lists 510 mm, 515 mm and 590 mm for some of the same cables, which are not stored. The 12V-2x6 gauge is a 16-24AWG range that includes sideband wires, so the 16AWG power wire gauge is stored.2Owner's manualcorsair.com/us/en/explorer/diy-builder/power-supply-units/corsair-cxm-2025Read 16 October 2026Included Cables: 1x fixed ATX 24-pin, 1x fixed dual ATX12V/EPS12V (8-pin / 4+4-pin), 1x fixed dual 8-pin PCIe, 1x modular dual 8-pin PCIe, 1x modular 450W / 600W 12V-2x6 (CX650M 450W), 1x modular SATA (3 SATA), 1x fixed SATA (3 SATA), 1x modular 2 SATA / 1 PATA.

All lengths have a tolerance of 10 mm. PATA plugs are the 4-pin Molex plugs. The 12V-2x6 to 2x 8-pin cable is stored as a PCIe 8-pin cable with 2 plugs. It and the 12V-2x6 cable both plug into the native 12V-2x6 socket of the PSU, as Hardware Busters says the modular panel has one native 12V-2x6 header. The Cybenetics report and Hardware Busters list the 2x 8-pin cable as 2 cables with 2 connectors, which does not match Corsair's listing. Gauges come from the Cybenetics report.2Owner's manualcorsair.com/us/en/explorer/diy-builder/power-supply-units/corsair-rmx-shift-series-2nd-generationRead 15 October 2026Included cables for the RM850x, with the SATA count stated for the 850W: 1x ATX 24-pin 610 mm, 2x EPS 4+4-pin 650 mm, 2x PCIe 8-pin 650 mm, 1x 90-degree 12V-2x6 to 2x 8-pin PCIe 650 mm, 1x 90-degree 12V-2x6 to 600W 12V-2x6 650 mm, 3x SATA, 1x PATA.5Measurementcybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/2879Read 15 October 2026Cables and Connectors table: ATX 24 pin 610 mm 16-20AWG, 2 x 4+4 pin ATX12V 650 mm 18AWG, 2 x 6+2 pin PCIe 650 mm 18AWG, 2 x 2x 6+2 pin PCIe 650 mm 18AWG, 12+2 pin PCIe 650 mm (600W) 16-24AWG, 3 SATA cables with 9 plugs in total 18AWG and 1 Molex cable with 4 plugs 18AWG, no in-cable capacitors. The 16-24AWG range of the 12V-2x6 cable includes the sideband wires, so no gauge is stored for it. The 18AWG gauge of the PCIe cables is stored for the 2x 8-pin cable too.6Reviewhwbusters.com/psus/corsair-rm850x-shift-atx-v3-1-psu-reviewRead 15 October 2026Cables page: the modular panel has eleven sockets including one native 12V-2x6 header, and all cables are debossed PVC.
