Product Information

Full details

This kenable 000332 power extension cable is designed for PC builders and enthusiasts who need to extend the reach of their ATX 20-pin power supply connector. Its primary benefit is providing crucial extra length for larger PC cases, ensuring components can be connected without strain. A potential caveat is that it only extends a 20-pin connector, not the newer 24-pin standard, so ensure compatibility with your motherboard and PSU.

FAQs

Will this cable work with a 24-pin ATX motherboard power connector?

No, this cable is specifically designed for the older 20-pin ATX power connector. It will not fit or function with a 24-pin connector.

Can I use this to extend a graphics card power cable?

No, this cable is only for the main ATX 20-pin motherboard power connection. It is not compatible with PCIe or other GPU power connectors.

What is the exact length of this extension cable?

The cable length is 0.3 meters, which is approximately 30 centimeters or about 1 foot.

Is this cable suitable for all power supplies?

It is suitable for any power supply that has a standard 20-pin ATX output connector. It is not compatible with proprietary or non-standard connectors.

Does the yellow color serve a functional purpose?

The yellow color is primarily for aesthetic and identification purposes, making it easier to spot and manage within a PC build, especially in builds with other colored components.

What does 'RoHS Compliant' mean?

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance means the cable is manufactured using materials that do not contain specific hazardous substances above defined limits, contributing to environmental safety.

Troubleshooting

PC not powering on after installation

Double-check that both ends of the extension cable are fully and securely connected to the motherboard and the PSU cable. Ensure the correct 20-pin connector is used and not confused with other cable types.

Intermittent power or system instability

Ensure the cable is not damaged. Try connecting without the extension cable to see if the issue resolves. If it does, the extension cable may be faulty or a poor connection is being made.

Cable feels loose

Gently try to reseat the cable, ensuring it clicks into place. If it consistently feels loose, do not use the cable and consider a replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends existing ATX 20-pin power connections.
  • Useful for large PC cases with long cable routing needs.
  • Simple male-to-female plug-and-play functionality.
  • RoHS certified for material safety.
  • Distinct yellow color helps with cable management and identification.

Cons

  • Only compatible with 20-pin ATX connectors, not 24-pin.
  • Limited length extension (0.3m) may not be sufficient for all custom builds.
  • Adds an extra connection point, which can be a minor point of failure.
  • Not suitable for extending GPU power cables or other connector types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your PC is powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet.
  2. Disconnect the existing ATX 20-pin power cable from the motherboard.
  3. Connect the male end of the kenable extension cable to the motherboard's ATX 20-pin power port.
  4. Connect the female end of the kenable extension cable to the existing ATX 20-pin cable from your power supply.
  5. Securely push both connections until they click or feel firmly seated.
  6. Manage the cable for optimal airflow and aesthetics.

Compatibility:

  • This cable is specifically designed for ATX 20-pin (often referred to as ATX12V) power connectors. It is *not* compatible with 24-pin ATX connectors commonly found on modern motherboards, nor with EPS (CPU) power connectors or PCIe (GPU) power connectors.
  • Verify that both your power supply unit and your motherboard utilize a 20-pin ATX power input.

Care:

  • Keep the connectors clean and free of dust. Use compressed air if necessary.
  • Avoid excessive bending or kinking of the cable.
  • Ensure the cable is not obstructing airflow to critical components.
