Cable Matters 2-Pack PCIe 8 Pin to Dual 8 Pin (6+2) Female to Male PCIe Power Adapter for GPUs - 9 Inches

Bottom line: The Cable Matters 2-Pack PCIe 8 Pin to Dual 8 Pin ($14.99 on Amazon as of 2026-10-06): Single 8-pin PSU feed splits into two 6+2-pin GPU connectors; main trade-off: 9-inch length is a pigtail, not a full PSU-to-GPU run.
