A well-constructed 8-pin cable, such as our PSU cables with pigtail connectors, should be well capable of providing more than 300W of power. In the world of temporary power, a pigtail is typically a short power cord with a connector on one end, and either a bare wire or another type of termination on the other. The extra 2 pins are two wires simply acting as "sense" wires that notify the GPU of the capability to draw 150W. It ensures a secure connection by combining wires with a wire connector, like a twist-on connector or a wire nut, and then linking them to the intended. The American Wire Gauge (AWG) system is a standardized method for measuring wire diameter, where smaller numbers indicate thicker wires. The AWG system works logarithmically – each 3-gauge. The key to choosing the right pigtail connector is to match it to your needs. A connector that is too small or too large can result in a weak or loose connection.
