Have ordered almost half a ton of these cables, they are great and of very good quality.

Do want these, just ordered some cheap ebay ones. but these, oh so pretty!
be careful with ebay - often times stuff on there is made with 18awg wire, or even thinner than that wire. The reason started making thse custom cables was because an EPS8pin -> PCIe 6pin (with corrected polarity and wiring) caught fire within 2 minutes of experiencing ~150w load. after the fire was out, it was obvious the wiring was thin, likely 20awg, and the 18awg markings on the wire were false.
the 16awg and 18awg wiring i use for these cables is high quality, and weighs a lot. Each 24" lead is about 62g in weight due to the thick 16awg core
I can confirm what you experienced. I've got two spools of "16AWG" wires with all the correct markings on them, but when I measured them, they were closer to 18 AWG.
Despite telling the seller that this is an important safety matter, he kept saying that it was only the external diameter, and it doesn't change the effective quality of the wire.
And I was measuring the diameter of the copper, not the PVC insulation, but let's assume it was a language barrier.
The wires on the cables I've got from you last year are even slightly better than 16AWG, very nice stuff for the price.

Bought 4 of these and they are delivered. Nice quality cables! Thanks!

lots of cables left!
Hi klondike I will take you up on 4 cables special sent to the US. PM me the details on how to pay. Thanks

new batch in stock! including a new item!
24" 16awg PCIe-to-PCIe cable: great for bridging between PCIe sockets or using on compatible modular power supplies (such as the EVGA and some corsairs). Price is marginally more than the 24" PCIe leads (about $0.10/cable more)

They will also work great with my upcoming designs that will use PCI-E plugs instead of screw terminals for easier and faster deployment.
curious - any of the PSUs your boards work with run quietly? Most server supplies are only acceptable for datacenter use at anything over 40% load so over time ive tried to move to cheap secondhand 1200W+ gold supplies
The common slot 1200w DPS 1200 FBA are nice for home mining. The fan isn't too loud, at least for me.
The second option is to use the DPS2000 BB with 6 quiet fans.
But with the exception of the ones I'm using as space heaters, my miners are now in a separate part of the house, so I use the DL580G3 and DPS 2000 BB ones with "jumbo jet" fans.

adapter boards work well also, depends if you prefer a $40+ board or doing it yourself with a little bit of wire and a soldering gun (takes about 30min if you are inexperienced)
Yeah definitely depends on how you value your time and how many you need or if you want to be able to resell the supply and if you already own the soldering equipment you would need to do that.
Thank you for you help!
I probably would be capable of soldering
, the only problem with this I do not see "output diagram", or not sure how to call it, in other words what output is what (0, -5V, +12V etc).I will check what I can find /do, and will check this ready solution too.
Thanks again!

Plenty of cables still in stock- these are perfect for running sp20 units, which can demand over 250w per pcie cable
Hello Klondike_bar,
I sent you PM - with no response from you.
I need 16 AWG cable with 6-pin PCI connectors on each side.
How much will it be?
sorry, thought i got back to you already. I dont have any of those in stock, but am getting a pile of them in my next batch (should be in my hands just before christmas)
they will be slightly more expensive, about $0.20/cable more for most order quantities
Thank you for reply, will come back after Christmas
I also have a question - I have 2 HP ProLiant DL ML G6 G7 PSU 1200W - their outs are a blade? (not sure how to call this, similar to how cards are plugged in a motherboard in a computer)
- is there a way to "convert" them to feed miners? I.e. somehow make PCI outs?
Thanks again!
What model number is the PSU? Minersource.net sells a version of the Gigampz breakout board for the HP DPS-1200FBA which sounds like what you are talking about.

often the blade has PS_on or similar sensing connectors (like the green wire on an ATX supply), generaly you need to solder a jumper witre between the pins, and then solder or otherwise bond the cables i sell to the connector blade

UPDATE REGARDING COMPATIBILITY WITH IBM POWEREDGE 2100W PSU:
Ive recently picked up one of these beast supplies, and been able to use my cables with it by simply adding some quick-disconnect fittings to my cables. This allows 8 cables on a single 2100W supply, or effectively 250w/PCIe (which is well within operating range for these 16awg wires).
only issue is that the connectors on the supply have a slight taper, and the quick disconnects can pull off if not careful. This is easily fixed with the application of some JB weld or similar metal epoxy. I'll have pictures up soon - the final product (including a layer of liquid electrical tape) looks clean and professional, and the method for jumpring the PSU to turn on is simply connecting 3 pins (5min solder job). Its possible to convert this ~$30 used PSU into a 2000W+ beast for only $30 in materials and maybe 30min of your time (less if you are doing a few simultaneously)

time for pics!
note that the pins for always-on are not yet shorted, but its easy to do.
