Quick Q: Antec use same modular cables on all PSUs?

[Down8]

I am thinking of upgrading my 500W SmartPower2, and, looking at other Antec's (NeoHE). Do they use the same modular cables across their range (6-pin PCIe-looking connex)? Just a small benefit of using another Antec, if I go that way. Any other brands 'standardize' on the PCIe-type modular connex?

I'm not sure if Antec uses the same cables across the board, if the connectors look the same, the pinout may be different. No standards for modular PSU exist yet.

You're safer just to re-wire everything. No risk in having incompatible bits.

The cables are not interchangible.

Not because Antec is evil, but because they've used three different OEM's for modular power supplies over the years.

Your PSU is built by CWT, while the NeoHE is Seasonic.

NeoPower (the original) may be the same because that unit is also a CWT.

Thanks for the help, guys.
