Need help finding couple cables.

[Airbrushkid]

I'm looking for a PCI-Express 8 Pin female to 2 x 8 Pin (6+2) males. And PCI-Express 6 Pin female to 2 x 8 Pin (6+2) males. All I found was in China and you had to buy a 100 of each. Can anyone help with locating these?


Thank You.

Thank you. The first one they seem to say that the 8 pin is a male and I need a female. But the picture shows female.

The pins inside the body of the connector determine the gender. So it is indeed a male 8-pin to two female 6+2 pin splitter.

That's confusing. The plug it self is female. To take and attach it to my power cable which is a male that go's inside the female plug. Always thought the male plug it self went inside the female?

That's because the body of the connector doesn't determine the connector's gender. If you looked at the pins themselves, you'd see the "female" body has male pins that fit inside the "male" body's female pins. The plastic bits are just there to protect and align the actual components of the connector (i.e. the pins).

Wow thank you.

Almost sounds like the perfect premise for a gender bender manga.
