Overview
The ASUS ROG Equalizer is a 12V-2x6 PCIe power cable designed for high-power graphics cards. It uses a reinforced cable structure to help balance current delivery across the connector pins and reduce localized thermal stress during demanding GPU workloads.
12V-2x6 PCIe Power Connection
The ROG Equalizer features one PCI-E 16-pin 12V-2x6 connector and has a 750mm cable length. ASUS specifies the cable for use with compatible power supplies and graphics cards using a native 12V-2x6 connection.
Enhanced Current Handling
ASUS rates the ROG Equalizer at up to 17A per wire, compared with 9.2A for standard 12V-2x6 cables. It is recommended for systems operating under a total power limit of 600W.
ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1
The cable complies with ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 power specifications. It is designed for current-generation high-performance graphics cards and compatible ATX 3.1 power supplies with a native 12V-2x6 output.
Cable Management
The ROG Equalizer uses a pliable embossed cable design and includes three cable combs for routing and organization. ASUS recommends maintaining at least 4cm of clearance between the graphics card power connector and chassis side panel to allow the cable to form a natural curve.
