Question Let's play "identify the brand of modular PSU cable"!

[mikeymikec]

At some point I apparently made the rookie mistake of mixing up (probably) different brands of modular PSU cables, and there's this final set that I'm not sure which PSU they're from:



They all say 'Type3' at the PSU end of the cable, one in a slightly different font than the others. I'm having a chat with Be Quiet! over e-mail but they don't think these are theirs.

The other two likely brands are Seasonic (the Focus GX 650 and 750, both bought in the last ~2-3 years, according to Seasonic as being compatible with each other and they share the same labelling convention) and Corsair (a TX650M most likely but all of its cables seem to be very sensibly labelled 'Corsair TX/HX only').

I'm puzzled about which other brand these could be. It's a long time since I bought Antec PSUs (and I don't think any of those were modular).

Corsair does label some of its cables as Type 3.

Hum. So I didn't mix them up. Mystery solved, I guess! Thank you.

What would be nice is a standard pinout.

Don't see the need. Wait till one of the systems needs the cable added or proactively take the cables to a PSU and see if it'll plug into it (only, not supplying power to anything yet) and if so, compare voltage on the connector pins to what it should be, per pin.

Sure. That's much more convenient (and potentially safe for those late night or distracted for whatever reason) PC assemblies. I know I always prefer, and often even enjoy, spending extra time verifying things that should be able to be taken for granted. /s

For whatever reason, the power supply gods see it your way.

There is, of course, no real need. But, it would still be nice. Lol.

To each their own.
