Do modular PSUs come with cables?
Many modular PSUs do include a set of cables, although some recent models opt to release without them. With these particular PSUs, customers can order a set of customised cables from companies such as CableMod, which match the power rating of the PSU and are the perfect length for your case.
Are modular PSU cables universal?
Modular PSU cables are not universal; this applies in two ways. The first is that not all components use the same pin layout, for example you can’t use a MOLEX cable to power a motherboard.
Secondly, not all cables are designed to work with all power supplies. One set of cables that comes with a PSU may use a different gauge of wire, which could theoretically be a safety hazard in your computer.
