Hello everyone, I'm doing some box cleaning and I found a bunch of cables which I'll ask for your help for identification, if you don't mind 🙃

So, as the title says, how do you call this cable?


Thank you!

It's an adapter for the power to a graphics card.

Most modern cards need the combined power of the two input cables, while many power supply units for compatibility's sake still only offer the two small cables and not a single big one.

So this adapter now usually comes with every graphics card you buy, and sometimes PSUs too, and they end up lying around.

Yeah, this definitely ended up lying around, thanks for the info!
