Lian Li PW8-1W-CPU ribbon cable 2x8-PIN Male/Female 0.26m

The Lian Li PW8-1W-CPU ribbon cable is a 2x8-PIN male-to-female extension designed for CPU power delivery in PC builds. Constructed from silicone and thermoplastic elastomer, this 0.26 m cable provides flexible routing and reliable connection between power supply and motherboard EPS headers. It is part of Lian Li’s Strimer Wireless-compatible family, sharing design considerations for neat cable management and compatibility with wireless lighting controllers when used alongside Strimer Wireless products.

Advantages

This 2x8-PIN ribbon cable combines a compact length with flexible, durable materials for easy installation in modern PC cases. The silicone and thermoplastic elastomer construction improves bendability and resistance to wear, while the male-to-female configuration enables straightforward extension of existing CPU power leads. The cable is compatible with standard EPS/CPU power connectors and supports tidy routing in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Extending CPU/EPS 8+8-pin power connections in desktop PCs
• Tidy cable routing in compact or high-airflow PC cases
• System builds that require short ribbon-style CPU power extensions (0.26 m length)

How to use

Power off the system and disconnect from mains before installation. Plug the male end of the PW8-1W-CPU into the PSU CPU/EPS output and connect the female end to the motherboard’s 8+8-pin CPU power header. Ensure connectors are fully seated and oriented correctly; avoid forcing the plug if resistance is felt. Route the ribbon along available cable channels or tie-down points to minimize interference with airflow and components.

Recommendations

Do not bend the cable sharply at the connector; maintain gentle curves to preserve conductor integrity. Verify that the combined cable length suits your case layout (0.26 m). If used with Strimer Wireless lighting products or L-Wireless controllers, follow the respective product manuals for correct placement and wireless setup.
