Solution
Yes the one you bought is fine, I use all the Silverstone extension cables in my computer, 24pin, 8pin EPS, 6&8 pin PCI-X cables and haven't had any problems at all.
maybe... typically the 4+4 is made for the cpu plug. those have special plug design which is not compatabile with a "normal" pci dedicated 8 pin plug. if your 8 pin extender is specifically for the cpu plug then you'll be fine. chances are it won't work if it's for a gpu.
