ASUS Unveils ROG Equalizer 12V-2x6 Cable to Improve GPU Power Reliability
Quick Report
ASUS has introduced the ROG Equalizer, a new ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliant 12V-2x6 cable designed to improve power stability for high-draw GPUs. The company says the cable aims to spread load more evenly across conductors, reducing localized hotspots that can appear when current is unevenly distributed.
ASUS rates the cable at up to 17 A per wire versus a typical 9.2 A figure cited for standard 12V-2x6 cables, and claims temperatures can stay around 73C in stress scenarios where some wires are not fully loaded. The 750 mm braided cable is expected to ship with upcoming ROG Thor III and ROG Strix Platinum power supplies, while standalone pricing has not yet been announced.
