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!

Dual 6 pin to 8 pin adaptor.

Generally used for high end video cards.

Older higher end video cards. Back in the day when a single 8 pin pcie cable wasn’t a given on your PSU so manufacturers just shipped that adapter.

Now we have the abomination that’s the 4x 8 pin to 12vhpwr and takes up 10 feet of space.
