CableMod has launched "revamped" 12V-2x6 angled power connector adapters, featuring an all-new design that will hopefully eradicate existing issues.

CableMod's New  "V1.1" Angled Connectors Comes With The More Reliable 12V-2×6 Standard

We are familiar with the 12HWPR connector fiasco and how it took the GPU industry by storm. CableMod did come to the rescue at that time, but they themselves fell victim to problems such as cable melting and many more issues related to adapters wiggling and not retaining enough power connection with the GPUs. This tarnished the company's reputation to an extent, and with the new cable adaptors, CableMod once again tries to rebuild the trust of its customers & hopefully get rid of the issues once and for all.

The main highlights include:

The newest v1.1 revision includes improved terminals and the new CEM 5.1 female connector.

Slim Profile

Our 12VHPWR 180 Degree Angled Adapter only protrudes 15.4mm from your graphics card, which means increased space and more clearance between your GPU and your side panel. This enables the installation of super-wide cards in a more narrow chassis.

Zero Bending

Our angled adapters utilize a reinforced PCB design to achieve an angled connection. No wire bending ensures full contact with all cable terminals, and zero risk of thermal issues through excessive wire and terminal stress from tight bending radii.

Multi-Layered Cooling Solution

To ensure peak performance, our angled adapters use a 2oz copper PCB with applied copper foil to aid heat dissipation. Combined with a thermal pad and a quality aluminum shell, this multi-layered design helps keep things cool, even under continuous loads.

Two Variants

The CableMod 12VHPWR 180 Degree Angled Adapter comes in two variants, making sure there’s a solution for graphics cards no matter which 12VHPWR power port orientation they have. For those who prefer a more traditional cable layout, a 90 90-degree angled Adapter, which routes the cable below the graphics card, is also available.

In an extensive coverage, we highlighted that CableMod adapters were "burning" because of the lack of adequate tightness between the GPU connector and the angled adaptor itself, which led to disruptions within the power delivery. With the revised "12VHPWR V1.1", CableMod has improved the "tightness" on the male connector and has also removed the "wigelness" with the PCB and angled adaptor, which will hopefully eliminate the possibility of encountering any problem.

Besides changes within the physical structure, CableMod's new adapters now come with the CEM 5.1 standard or the more widely known "12V-2×6" connector. We have covered it extensively, but to sum it up, the connector can come with some "checks", starting with adequate connectivity. The "sense pins", which are used to monitor voltage, can figure out whether the connector is inserted properly, and if not, it can also restrict the PD output. The connector was able to deliver 600W of power without being completely connected, which shows the immense potential it holds.

CableMod's V1.1 adapters would be a suitable choice if you are in the market for "angled connectors". With the new CEM 5.1 standard, coupled with improvements made to ensure the best connectivity, they are a no-brainer. We recommend waiting for official reviews before purchasing one to ensure complete satisfaction with the product.
