Having a Power supply with a modular cabling design is a terrific way to build an organized and clean looking system. It is worth noting that the Commander II series power supplies are not fully modular. Other than the main 20+4 power lead there are three other cables hard wired to the unit. A Dual end PCI-E, a 8-Pin CPU and a 4+4 CPU lead are also hard wired to the unit. We would have rather not seen any PCI-E leads and just one of the 8-pin CPU leads hard wired. The 4×4 CPU lead would be the obvious choice for being hard wired as it accommodates a wider range of motherboards.

There are a total of six modular cable slots built in to the unit, two PCI-E and four peripheral connections. Starting with the four peripheral connection cables, you get two molex cables that are comprised of a floppy type connector and four 4-pin molex connectors.  There are also two SATA connection cables which have four SATA power connectors per cable giving the user the option to power up to eight SATA devices.  Finally in addition to the hard wired PCI-E cable you get two more in the accessory package. All of the PCI-E connections are of the 6+2 design and have two connectors per cable.

Attaching an of the cables to the power supply could not be easier, just align the locking tab and push it in until you hear the “click”…….. Done!
