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: 1x ATX 24-pin 610 mm, 2x ATX12V/EPS12V 4+4-pin 650 mm, 2x 8-pin PCIe 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, 2x 3 SATA cable (3x with RM850x, 4x with RM1000x SHIFT) 700 mm and 1x 4 PATA cable 750 mm.6Measurementcybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/2873Read 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 655 mm (600W) 16-24AWG, 4 SATA cables with 12 plugs in total (505 mm + 105 mm x 2) 18AWG and 1 Molex cable with 4 plugs (405 mm + 105 mm x 3) 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. Corsair's lengths are stored, not the report's.7Reviewhwbusters.com/psus/corsair-rm1000x-shift-atx-v3-1-psu-reviewRead 15 October 2026Page 2: the modular panel has twelve sockets including one native 12V-2x6 header, and all cables are debossed PVC.

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.
