Product Information

Full details

The Akasa FLEXA P8 is designed for PC builders and enthusiasts who need to extend their CPU power reach within larger or uniquely laid-out computer chassis. This 40cm extension cable provides the extra length necessary to route power cables behind motherboard trays for a cleaner build, though users should ensure their specific power supply unit supports standard 8-pin or 4+4 pin EPS12V configurations before installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this for my graphics card (PCIe)?

No. This cable is designed for the CPU (EPS12V) power port. Using it for a PCIe graphics card can cause damage due to different pin configurations.

Does this cable support 4-pin motherboards?

Yes, the 4+4 pin connector can be split to fit a 4-pin motherboard header.

Is the cable shielded?

The cable features a protective braided mesh sleeve, which provides durability and helps with cable organization.

How long is the extension?

The cable is 40cm long.

Will this cause voltage drop?

When used correctly in standard PC builds, the impact on voltage is negligible. Ensure your power supply is of sufficient quality for your components.

Troubleshooting

System will not boot after installation

Verify that the 8-pin connector is fully seated on both the PSU extension end and the motherboard socket.

Connectors are difficult to plug in

Ensure you are using the correct orientation. The 4+4 split side must be aligned correctly with the motherboard socket notches.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flexible 4+4 pin connector supports various motherboard layouts
  • 40cm length is ideal for cable management in large cases
  • Braided sleeving provides a clean, professional aesthetic
  • Simple plug-and-play installation

Cons

  • Adds extra cable bulk that must be managed behind the motherboard tray
  • Not intended for non-standard power supply pinouts
  • Length may be excessive for smaller Mini-ITX builds

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward: connect the female end of the FLEXA P8 to your power supply's existing 8-pin or 4+4 pin CPU cable, and connect the male end to the corresponding port on your motherboard. Always ensure the clips are fully engaged for a secure electrical connection.

  • Compatibility: Compatible with any ATX12V 8-pin or 4+4 pin EPS12V power source.
  • Care: Avoid sharp bends near the connector pins to prevent fraying. If you need to bundle the excess cable, use cable ties or velcro straps to keep the interior airflow clear of obstructions.
