Custom Cables

So I have a Powerspec 850 modular power supply, and I'm looking at custom cables. Most kits have a compatibility list, but none of them list powerspec models. is there a more mainstream brand I can compare apples to apples with to ensure compatibility?

Alternatively if anyone has had success with any aftermarket custom cables (not extensions) that work with https://www.microcenter.com/product/611997/850_Watt_80_Plus_Gold_ATX_Fully_Modular_Power_Supply I would be happy to know which ones.

Hello @joeymcjoeysalot


The best cable that will work with the PowerSpec power supplies are the extension cables.  You would still use the default PowerSpec cables, but rather than plugging them into the motherboard, you plug them into an extender and the extender will plug into the motherboard.  


The issue is that the part of the cable that plugs into the Power Supply is proprietary and you need specific cables for them and PowerSpec isn't as popular of a brand for CableMod and similar companies making full on modular cables.
