Silverstone SFX cable clearance

[yolostrats]

I would like to hear from owners of silverstone SFX PSUs who know or can test the minimum space (in millimetres/centimetres) needed where the cables come out.
The connectors themselves stick out a bit, i'm aware of that.

I'm estimating 4-5cm from the edge of the PSU enclosure.

Second question is there are cases with internal AC power cables in order to put the PC power plug somewhere else.
E.g. PSU is at the front, but with an internal cable, the connector is mounted on the back of the case where a PSU would normally be.
Essentially a AC extension with a plate I assume to attach to the case.

What is this called exactly and where can I buy them? What is the height of this right angle connector?
Can you get 'flatter' ones? I have a general use right angle cable and it measures just under 3cm.

In total, there is 7cm split between the AC extension right angle plug and PSU cables. The PSU in this design is mounted at the front of the case.

Thanks.

I measured my ST45SF-G, and the connectors themselves protrude ~5mm from the PSU housing. With the flat PP05-E 24-pin ATX cable installed, and bent as close to the unit as possible without forcing anything, they extended just over 2cm from the edge (was easily under 2.5cm).

The stock sleeved ST45SF-G cables are probably similar, but I'm not digging around to find them again. The flat flex PP05-E cables are the same style that ships with the new SX600-G.

Here is a picture of the larger High Power SFX-L with severely bent stock cables..

The NCASE M1 has exactly this setup..

The M1 is currently in its 3rd production run, and orders should open up sometime this month at NCASES.com

What is this called exactly and where can I buy them? What is the height of this right angle connector?
Can you get 'flatter' ones? I have a general use right angle cable and it measures just under 3cm.

The internal power cable that ships with the M1 is about the most low-profile I've seen. The height of the angled plug is ~2.7cm tall, and when inserted into my ST45SF-G, protrudes ~1.6cm from the edge of the PSU housing. The cable itself is roughly 45cm in length (was marked as 380mm on the box, when I ordered spares).

You can purchase either a right-angle or left-angle version of this cable direct from NCASE for $10 USD plus S&H..

So.. just what in the heck is it that you're trying to do?

Thanks heaps guys. I am designing my own SFF case/s mostly as a hobby. I've just completed one design which comes to 8L in size. I'm pretty happy to get 4L under the ncase.

If the cables only need 2.5cm then that leaves plenty of space for the AC plug on the other side so that's all good.

I could make this case smaller but this particular design will use a larger AXP200 cooler if I can actually find it for sale (i'm in AU).

I'm very interested in the A4 but i'd prefer having a standard PSU without bricks or difficult to find PSUs.

^^ Cool.. I'd be interested to see something like that
