Where can I find braided PCIe cables (Not extension cables)

Syther101 · 6 Oct 2012 at 23:29

Is it possible to buy actual braided PCIe cables? Not extension cables?. I can only seem to find cables that will require me to keep the current one's I have which I don't want to do as I'm going to try and get my cable management fully braided.

Thanks in advance

Edit: Title fail. Where*

Nearly all those types of cables will be ones that fit onto the end of your existing cables, this is because PSU manufacturers use different shape connectors on the actual PSU bodies so a cable manufacturer cant possibly be expected to make braided cables for every possible PSU on the market.

Corsair are the only ones I know of that have made kits for some of their PSU's.

You could try braiding the cables yourself?

Ah yeah I thought as much :/. Damm, regretting getting a Cooler Master PSU XD.
Will just have it looking partly tidy then.

And yeah might give it a go when I have more time on my hands seeing as I'm bound to mess it up a few times. And I would have to get a heat gun and stuff for the heatshrink etc.

Thanks for the info anyway, thought I was going crazy not being able to find them with it being such a simple thing

For me my PSU has direct PCIe to PCIe cables. Not sure if this is the case for all PSUs.

But yeah liked said above due to their being many variations manufactures won't make them specificity for any one PSU so I'll either have to make them my self or put up with abit of mess.

cut the cables, re crimp them, get the extensions, done.

or braid the cables yourself (you will be able to get higher quality braiding then)

also look on a popular auction style website as Dave0w has suggested, they have thousands of different type of braided cable...
