Corsair has developed a specialized 12V-2x6 cable featuring a switch hub with six individual switches to test current flow across each 12V pin. During a demonstration by Professional Review, the cable was used with a GeForce RTX 5080 to test power delivery.
The testing utilized Corsair's PinProtect technology, which debuted in 2026 with the RM1200e PSU. While the RTX 5080 maintained a 250W load in FurMark with several pins disabled, the system triggered a shutdown once five of the six pins were disconnected.
This internal tool showcases PinProtect+ capabilities found in the HX1000i SHIFT Crystal, offering iCUE integration and real-time monitoring. Although the switch-equipped cable is for in-house testing only, it validates safety thresholds for high-end GPUs.
