Accessory cables

Wye Power Splitter

For pricing and availability, please click here or order at the top of the page

Our Ultra-Quiet PSUs come with varying numbers of hard drive ("4 pin") connectors, depending on which model you choose (check the PSU page for exact specifications). If you have more drives or devices than available PSU connectors, please order this "Wye" Power Cable Splitter for each additional connector required. The cable will "split" power from an existing connector, and give two free connectors instead of one.

Fan Extension ZM-EC1

For pricing and availability, please click here or order at the top of the page

Depending on the position of your motherboard's 3-pin fan header(s) and the mounting position of your case fan(s), you may find that the fan cable is not long enough. This simple extension gives approximately an extra 75 cm (30 inches) of length for any 3-pin fan.

ATX Power Extension

For pricing and availability, please click here or order at the top of the page

For PCs housed in a full-height tower case, or any other PC where the motherboard is a large distance (over around 25cm) away from the PSU, please order an ATX extension cable (pictured below). This gives an additional 40cm of length to the motherboard power cable coming from the PSU. As an alternative use for the product, you can use it to reduce wear and tear on your motherboard if you regularly plug and unplug the ATX cable, or at your own risk you can even use the cable to connect two PSUs in parallel!

AT to ATX Power Conversion

For pricing and availability, please click here or order at the top of the page

For PCs which have an older-style AT motherboard, please order an AT to ATX power conversion cable (shown below) with your Ultra-Quiet PSU. This cable will allow you to use the Ultra-Quiet ATX supplies with your AT motherboard. The cable is approximately 18cm in length and connects to your AT motherboard at one end, and the ATX motherboard connector coming from the PSU at the other. You will be able to continue using your Ultra-Quiet PSU if you upgrade your motherboard to ATX at some point in the future, simply by removing the conversion cable.

If you're not sure whether your motherboard is AT or ATX, simply examine the connector which plugs into the motherboard from the PSU. If it is a single block connector, with two rows of 10 pins, (like the connector on the left in the picture above), then it is ATX. If it is two "half-connectors", each with 6 pins plugged in next to each other with black wires in the centre, (like the connectors on the right), you have an AT motherboard.

However, before ordering an Ultra-Quiet ATX PSU for your AT machine, please check the physical dimensions of your existing AT PSU to ensure it is the same size as the Ultra-Quiet PSUs (dimensions are shown on the specification table on the PSU page). Some older AT PSU designs vary in size and an ATX PSU may not physically fit inside your PC case.

Fan Multi-Connector ZM-MC1

For pricing and availability, please click here or order at the top of the page

This clever cable solves two problems in one. At its simplest level, the cable allows you to connect multiple 3-pin fans (or Fan Mates) to one 4-pin connector from the PSU. This is useful where you wish to install one or more 3-pin fans but there are no available 3-pin fan header sockets available on the motherboard.

In addition, it gives you a choice of two operating speeds for your fan(s), by allowing you to run your 12 volt fan(s) at 5 volts if desired. This has the effect of slightly reducing the speed of the fan, and significantly reducing the noise. Although the airflow will be lessened, this rarely has a large effect on case temperature.

You can see from the above diagram that two outputs are provided at 12 volts, and two outputs at 5 volts. Therefore you can have up to two fans running at normal speed (black sockets), and/or up to two fans running at a lower speed (white sockets). Either type of output can be used in combination with a Fan Mate to give an even greater degree of control over fan speed.

As well as the benefit of low noise, running your fan(s) from the black sockets will increase the life of the fan, and reduce dust buildup. The cable comes attractively retail boxed with instructions. Note: This product does not allow you to connect a 4-pin fan into a 3-pin motherboard fan header socket; direct connection to a 4-pin PSU lead remains the only option for 4-pin fans.

Round IDE Cable

For pricing and availability, please click here or order at the top of the page

Following on from the round floppy cable, this IDE version offers the same benefits - excellent airflow, great looks and interference suppression. The cable allows connection of up to two drives on the same IDE channel. The cable is compatible with our SilentDrive enclosure although you may need to pull back the clear plastic strain relief to allow the cable to exit the SilentDrive cap, or enlarge the cap cable exit hole with a sharp knife. Please note that for best performance, hard drives and CD/DVD/CDRW drives are best kept on separate IDE channels therefore two cables may be desirable.

All of our IDE cables are UMDA 133 compatible.

Round Floppy Cable

For pricing and availability, please click here or order at the top of the page

If you are aiming for maximum quietness in your PC, you will no doubt be aware that airflow is an important consideration. This silver-braided round floppy cable not only looks great, but takes up less room in your case and therefore allows the air to more freely circulate. The cable has silver braid along its entire length in order to reduce EMI (electro magnetic interference), and is coated with a flexible clear plastic outer sheath for ease of handling.

20 to 24 pin Xeon Conversion Cable

For pricing and availability, please click here or order at the top of the page

This cable converts a 20-pin ATX motherboard connector to a 24-pin connector required by most Xeon and dual processor motheroards. You can also use this cable to convert your old 20-pin ATX power supply so it is compatible with the new socket 775 motherboards (LGA775). This avoids the need to purchase a Xeon (EPS12V) compatible power supply. You may also like to consider using this product in conjunction with the 4 pin to EPS12V (8 pin) Conversion Cable (not needed for socket 775 motherboards).

4 pin to EPS12V (8 pin) Conversion Cable

For pricing and availability, please click here or order at the top of the page

This cable converts two 4-pin drive connectors from a power supply to one 8-pin EPS12V connector required by most Xeon and dual processor motheroards, without losing any 4-pin drive connectors. This avoids the need to purchase a Xeon (EPS12V) compatible power supply. You may also like to consider using this product in conjunction with the 20 to 24 pin Xeon Conversion Cable.
