Extension cable for PSU (large case)

Hi All,

I'm a little confused around the differences between the 4+4 pin ATX/EPS and 8 pin EPS extension cables.

Some 4+4 pin extensions are marketed as EPS, whereas I've seen others which look to be identical to 4+4 EPS, marketed as ATX extensions.

Please could somebody inform me as to the difference between these and whether the Akasa (below) would be compatible with my setup?

I think the 8 pin variant can supply more power to the cpu over the 4 pin type, but they are essentially the same thing.
That cable linked will be fine or the one below.
