Power adapter cable Akasa Dual SATA to 8‑Pin CPU (AK-CBPW33-15) 15 cm

Akasa AK-CBPW33-15 is a 15 cm power adapter cable that converts two SATA power connectors into a single 8‑pin CPU power plug. The cable provides a compact and flexible solution for supplying EPS/CPU 8‑pin power input on motherboards or CPU power modules when a dedicated EPS cable is unavailable or when working in constrained layouts. Its short length and flexible sleeving help keep cable routing tidy in small form-factor systems and during incremental upgrades.

Advantages

The adapter accepts two separate SATA power lines and combines their rails to provide the required power and pinout for an 8‑pin CPU connector while keeping the overall connector footprint minimal. Its 15 cm length reduces excess cable slack, improving airflow and internal neatness. The design maintains a standard pin configuration for compatibility with most motherboards that require an 8‑pin EPS/CPU input.

Suitable for

• Small form-factor and compact PC builds where space is limited
• Systems missing a native EPS/CPU 8‑pin cable from the power supply
• Upgrades where additional CPU power input is required without replacing the PSU
• Temporary or testbench setups requiring quick connection to an 8‑pin CPU power input

Key specifications

• Cable type: dual SATA power to single 8‑pin CPU (EPS) power adapter
• Length: 15 cm
• Connector configuration: two SATA power male inputs combined to one 8‑pin CPU female output
• Conductor arrangement: multiple power rails combined to meet CPU power requirements
• Flexibility: short, flexible cable suitable for tight cable routing

How to use

Connect both SATA power plugs to available SATA power sockets from the power supply, ensuring secure seating of each connector. Attach the 8‑pin CPU plug to the motherboard EPS/CPU power header, orienting the connector to match the header shape and latch. Verify that the power supply can safely provide the combined current through SATA lines before use. After installation, power on the system and confirm stable boot and CPU power delivery.

Recommendations

Use this adapter only when the power supply can provide sufficient current across the combined SATA lines; avoid using it as a permanent replacement for a dedicated EPS cable if the power requirements of the CPU are high. Prefer short-duration or low-to-moderate load scenarios and ensure proper airflow and connector seating to prevent overheating.
