Key Features
This cable connects a newer 24-pin ATX (version 2. x) power supply to an older 20-pin ATX (version 1. x) motherboard power connector. This has a 24-pin male ATX 2. x connector and a 20-pin female ATX 1. x connector.
This has a 24-pin male ATX 2. x connector and a 20-pin female ATX 1. x connector
Note: It is important to remember that the gender of a connector is determined by the electrical connection itself not the housing casing or shell
In most cases the power source will use a female connector just like that found in a typical wall socket
Therefore the connector on the power supply cable will have female sockets and the connector on the motherboard will have male pins
