Information about length, quantity and type of connectors.

  • 20 + 4 pin (Motherboard): 1x 400 mm
  • Small 4 pin (FDD): 1x 800 mm
  • Big 4 pin (HDD): 2x 400 mm, 2x 600 mm
  • S-ATA: 1x 400 mm, 1x 600 mm
  • 4 + 4 pin 12V (Motherboard): 2x 400 mm

Interesting thing to note is that the manufacturer had thought about users with older motherboards with 20 pin connectors, so the additional 4 pin are removable. The situation is the same with 4 pin 12V connector, it can be used as standard 4 and 8 pin. Despite the lack of sleeving, the cables are well wrapped with cable holders. The length of the cables is sufficient for even bigger cases. A minus is the lack of 6/8 pin power connectors for PCIe graphic cards.
