Adapter cable Akasa AK-CBPW22-15 — 8-pin EPS to 4-pin ATX, 15 cm

AKASA 8-pin to 8+4-pin power adapter cable. Use this internal cable to supply an ATX motherboard from an 8-pin PSU connector by converting an 8-pin EPS/ATX power plug into an 8+4-pin motherboard power plug. The cable is 15 cm long including connectors and is intended for routing inside PC cases where a 4-pin CPU or legacy ATX power input is required but only an 8-pin PSU output is available.

Advantages

The adapter provides a simple, compact solution to convert one 8-pin PSU connector into an 8+4-pin motherboard connector, increasing connection flexibility and compatibility with older or compact motherboards. With a 15 cm length, it supports neat internal cable routing without adding unnecessary bulk.

Suitable for

• Connecting an 8-pin PSU/EPS output to motherboards requiring 8+4-pin power
• Upgrading or reusing older motherboards that need a 4-pin CPU power input
• Small or compact PC builds where cable routing requires a short adapter

How to use

Power off the PC and disconnect it from mains.

Reconnect mains and power on the system only after verifying all connections are properly seated.

Recommendations

Use this adapter only when the PSU provides the required current and voltage for the motherboard. Do not force connectors; ensure pins align correctly. If the motherboard or PSU documentation specifies not to use adapters, follow the manufacturer's guidance.
