Most likely not. Modular cables are not standardised at the psu end.

You should never mix cables even if they fit EVER.

Well then what are my dam options? I can't do anything with a 4-pin Molex Power Cable with 5 Adapters on it. I can't put my Side Panel on.

You could always ask if you could return the power supply and get another one or you could order the cables separately.

Blackbird, I believe your warning, but can you explain further.

I just built a system in a SG10B (SFF) case with an AX860i power supply. Silverstonetek recommends their short cable set for this small case to make cable management easier. Makes sense, so I bought it. When I compared them to the Corsair modular cables that came with the PSU, the pin outs were different. Yikes! I can only imagine what would happen if I plugged them in.

I went back to the Silverstonetek site and double-checked that they didn't provide any warning of that which you already seem to know- I wonder how you found out ;)  Perhaps their recommendation is only meant for their PSU models. But that is not even close to clear, and this seems like a disaster in the making. Is what I've found really the norm- we have matching connector plugs all over the place with different pin-outs? I wonder how many people have zapped their equipment because of this.

There needs to be a standard set for modular cables so they can be interchangeable. Till then you have to double check everything.

Standards of the companies will never match and then there is liability issues
