What are individually sleeved cables for?

They give the inside of a PC a clean, colour-matched look by covering the power cables — the 24-pin ATX, CPU and PCIe runs — in braided or flat sleeving. They're an aesthetic upgrade for builds with a glass side panel, replacing or extending the plain black cables that ship with a power supply.

Are sleeved cables compatible with any power supply?

Sleeved extensions are, because they plug onto your existing cables using standard connectors. Full replacement cables are not — modular PSUs wire their connectors differently by brand and range, so a replacement set must be confirmed for your exact PSU model. When in doubt, use extensions.

Can I damage my PC using the wrong PSU cable?

Yes, with replacement cables. A modular connector that fits physically may be wired differently on the PSU side, and using a mismatched replacement cable can short or damage components. This is why extensions — which use the standard device-side connectors — are the safe option if you can't confirm your PSU's pinout.

Do I need cable combs?

Combs aren't essential but they're what makes sleeved cables look crisp, holding the wires flat and evenly spaced like a ribbon. They matter most on the wide 24-pin cable that shows through a glass panel. Many kits include them; otherwise they're an inexpensive add-on.

What cables does a typical build need?

Usually three: a 24-pin ATX cable for the motherboard, an 8-pin (4+4) EPS cable for the CPU, and one or more 6+2-pin PCIe cables for the graphics card. Some recent high-end GPUs use a 12VHPWR / 12V-2x6 connector instead, so check your card before buying.

What length of sleeved cable should I buy?

Enough to route behind the motherboard tray and reach each connector without pulling tight, but not so long that the slack bunches up. Larger cases need longer runs. Map the path from the PSU to each connector first, then pick a length that sits flat with a little room to spare.

Are sleeved cables available with warranty in South Africa?

Yes. Evetech stocks sleeved cables and extension kits with local warranty and nationwide delivery, so you can buy locally rather than importing. Check this page for current colours and stock.

Sleeved PSU Cables & Extensions 🔌

Individually sleeved cables replace or extend your power supply's stock cables to give the inside of your build a clean, colour-matched finish. They cover the main power runs — the 24-pin ATX, the 8-pin (4+4) EPS for the CPU, and the 6+2-pin PCIe for the GPU — in flat or braided sleeving that routes neatly behind a glass panel. The look is the point: tidy, colour-coordinated power feeds instead of a tangle of black wires.

There are two ways to do it. Replacement cables swap your PSU's cables entirely and need to match your exact PSU model, because modular connectors are wired differently between brands and even between a maker's own ranges — fitting the wrong one can damage hardware. Extensions are safer and simpler: they plug onto your existing cables, add the sleeved look from the connector outward, and work with any PSU, usually with combs to keep the wires flat.

Evetech stocks sleeved cables and extension kits with local warranty and nationwide delivery. If you're unsure about modular pinouts, extensions are the no-risk route to a custom-coloured build; choose replacement cables only when they're confirmed for your specific power supply.

How to Choose Sleeved Cables

The two questions that decide everything: are you extending or replacing, and which connectors do you actually need? Extensions are universal and beginner-safe; replacements must match your PSU model exactly. After that it's colour, length and whether you want cable combs for that flat, parallel look. The guide below walks through it.

Extensions plug onto your existing PSU cables and work with any power supply — the safe, simple choice for the sleeved look. Replacement cables swap your PSU's cables entirely for a cleaner result with no doubled-up connectors, but they must match your exact PSU model. If you're not certain of your PSU's pinout, choose extensions.

Modular power supplies use different PSU-side pinouts between brands and sometimes between a single brand's ranges. A connector that physically fits is not proof it's wired the same way — using a replacement cable meant for another PSU can short components. Only fit replacement cables confirmed for your specific PSU model; extensions sidestep this because they use the standard device-side connectors.

Most builds need three: the 24-pin ATX motherboard cable, the 8-pin (4+4) EPS cable for the CPU, and one or more 6+2-pin PCIe cables for the GPU. Newer high-end cards may use a 12VHPWR / 12V-2x6 connector instead — check your GPU. Buy a set that covers what your board, CPU and graphics card actually require.

Sleeved cables and extensions come in set lengths; pick enough to route behind the motherboard tray and up to each connector without strain, but not so much that excess bunches up. Larger cases need longer runs. Plan the path from the PSU shroud to each connector before choosing a length so the cables sit flat.

Combs are small clips that hold the individual wires parallel and evenly spaced, which is what gives sleeved cables their crisp, ribbon-like look. Many kits include them; otherwise they're a cheap add-on. They make the biggest visual difference on the wide 24-pin cable that's most visible through a glass panel.
