The datasheet gives no cable counts, lengths or gauge. Those come from the Cybenetics report and the Hardware Busters review. The Features list calls the 12+4 pin connector a dual color 12V-2x6 connector.2Measurementcybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/3121Read 15 October 2026Cables and Connectors table: ATX 20+4 pin 600 mm, 4+4 pin EPS 650 mm, 8 pin EPS 650 mm, 6+2 pin PCIe 600 mm plus 150 mm with 2 plugs, 2 x 6+2 pin PCIe 600 mm, 12+4 pin PCIe (600W) 600 mm, 2 SATA cables of 500 mm plus 2 x 150 mm with 6 plugs in total 18AWG and 1 Molex cable of 500 mm plus 2 x 150 mm with 3 plugs 18AWG. The report counts two 4+4 pin EPS cables, but MSI's datasheet and Hardware Busters list one 4+4 pin and one 8 pin cable, so 2 EPS plugs are stored. Wire gauge for the ATX, EPS and PCIe cables differs between the report (18-22AWG and 18AWG) and the Hardware Busters table (16-22AWG and 16AWG), so none is stored for them. The 16-24AWG range of the 12V-2x6 cable includes the sideband wires.3Reviewhwbusters.com/psus/msi-mag-a1000pls-pcie5-atx-v3-1-psu-reviewRead 15 October 2026Cables page: same lengths as the Cybenetics report. It counts one 4+4 pin and one 8-pin EPS cable and 3 PCIe cables with 4 plugs in total. The modular panel has eleven sockets including one native 12V-2x6 header. The review prints 16-22AWG for ATX and 16AWG for EPS and PCIe wires.
