Stay Powered Up with a 24-Pin Power Supply Extension Cable

Your power supply cable will send an electrical current to all your motherboard components. Use a 24-pin extension cable to provide your computer with the power it needs when the original one is not long enough.

Depending on the type, this cable sends electricity from the main supply to the motherboard. These extensions also sometimes reach from one or more components to a computer card slot.

They typically are designed for desktop towers. You might find some 24-pin ones that also fit laptops, but the ones in portable devices generally have 22 pins or fewer instead of 24. You can use some types for replacement in prebuilt models while there are others you can use for building your own machine. Additionally, select 24-pin extensions have at least one detachable 4-pin plug for backward compatibility with 20-pin ATX ports. Other internal electrical supply cables work with devices that have the following connector types:

• WTX connectors: You usually have the option of Type A and Type B WTX-to-WTX extensions. Type A and Type B PSU sockets and plugs are also available.
• Jumpers : This type is for OCZ and BFL modular PSUs that have a 24-pin power supply connection.
• EPS splitters: Y splitters are available, and they often have more than one connector type, such as 24-pin, 8-pin, or 4-pin.
• Semimodular and nonmodular cords: You can find the appropriate detachable extension cables for some of these types of power supplies.
• SFX and TFX connectors: Some power supplies provide spots for connecting these internal cables.

Many of them are made for 12-volt currents. They normally provide about 25-200 watts. If a lower voltage is needed for your device's processor, this often is achieved by plugging in modulators. The correct voltage required to run without causing an electrical overload varies. Look for the 24-pin, 8-pin, 5-pin, or another connector that corresponds with the capacity of your unit's power supply, CPU, and hard drive.

Whether building a machine from scratch or finding a replacement pin extension, you need to match the cable's connection ends. If a male-to-female connection is required, that is the only kind you can use. In some cases, an adapter like one required for converting from AC to DC current might also be needed. Use a prebuilt device model number or individual part number to find the right power cord for sending electricity to your motherboard and its components.

One way to maximize safety is to obtain cords made according to International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards. The IEC is a worldwide organization that regulates issues pertaining to energy usage and waste, design, development, performance, and more. Items covered by this safety organization usually include a variety of types of C13 and C14 cords that send electricity to your computer. The mating connector for the C13 socket is the C14 plug. This connector type, also known as the IEC cold connector, has 3 conductors, a rated current of 10 amperes, and a maximum temperature of 70 degrees Celcius.

Make sure your 24-pin power cables can connect safely with your power supply and motherboard. See the manufacturer site for details.
