Power adapter cable CORSAIR CP-8920371 12V 2x6 PCIe 5.1 Male to 12V 2x6 PCIe 5.1 Female

CORSAIR CP-8920371 is a 12V power adapter cable that converts a 2x6-pin PCIe 5.1 male connector to a 2x6-pin PCIe 5.1 female connector. It is intended for PC power distribution and component compatibility, allowing connection of devices that require a 12V 2x6 PCIe 5.1 plug when only a matching male inlet or alternate cable routing is available. The adapter supports the physical and electrical interface defined by the PCIe 5.1 2x6 connector form factor and is suitable for use inside desktop computer systems and custom builds where connector orientation or harness compatibility is an issue.

Advantages

The adapter provides a direct, single-cable solution to change connector gender while preserving the 12V supply and pin arrangement of a 2x6 PCIe 5.1 interface. Its compact inline form enables straightforward rerouting or extension of existing power leads without requiring replacement of the entire harness. The cable is manufactured to CORSAIR quality standards for PC components and is intended to maintain a reliable electrical connection between compatible power sources and devices.

Suitable for

• Custom PC builds that require changing connector gender or orientation
• Routing power in tight cases where a short inline adapter simplifies cable management
• Replacing or adapting incompatible PCIe 2x6 power leads without modifying original components

Key specifications

• Type: 12V adapter cable, 2x6-pin PCIe 5.1 male to 2x6-pin PCIe 5.1 female
• Voltage: 12V supply interface
• Connector standard: PCIe 5.1 2x6 pin form factor
• Application: internal PC power distribution for compatible devices
• Form factor: inline cable adapter for desktop systems

How to use

Connect the male 2x6 PCIe 5.1 end of the adapter into the appropriate female power outlet on the power supply or existing harness. Then attach the female 2x6 PCIe 5.1 end to the device or cable that requires a 12V 2x6 PCIe 5.1 plug. Ensure connectors are fully seated and oriented according to the keyed shapes to avoid incorrect insertion. Power down and unplug the system before installing or removing the adapter, and verify that the connected device is compatible with a 12V 2x6 PCIe 5.1 supply.

Recommendations

Only use this adapter for devices and power supplies that specify compatibility with a 12V 2x6 PCIe 5.1 connector. Avoid forcing connectors; confirm pin alignment and secure seating. Do not use the adapter externally in wet or exposed environments. If in doubt about power delivery capacity or compatibility with high-current devices, consult the device or power supply documentation or contact technical support.
