SilverStone Technology thrives on challenges of rapid technological advancements and creating aesthetic standard for the industry. Their products are of high quality. Product lines include PC Chassis, PSU, Cooling Solution, Storage devices, etc.
SilverStone has released its highly flexible power supply cables under naming convention of PP06E. They are a set of cables compatible with the modular PSUs from SilverStone. These cables are an ideal solution for the SFF users who have to work with limited space. These cables are available in 4 configuration:
- PP06BE-MB35
- PP06BE-PC335
- PP06BE-PC235
- PP06BE-EPS35
Product | Price |
PP06BE-MB35 | USD 36.99 |
PP06BE-EPS35 | USD 13.99 |
PP06BE-PC335 | USD 25.99 |
PP06BE-PC235 | USD 25.99 |
Specifications
Packaging and Unboxing
Each cable or set of similar cables comes in a single pouch container with one side being transparent to show the cable and the other side showing the specifications and other data of the cable.
The above picture shows the backside of the packing container for the 24-pin ATX to 24-pin cable.
The above picture shows the specifications of the PCIe 8pin to PCIe 6+2 pin cables.
The above picture shows the specifications of the EPS/ATX 12V to PCIe 6+2 connector cables.

Closer Look
The salient features of the cables are:
- 08mm ultra-fine copper wire with great durability and excellent flexibility
- 16 AWG high current resistance wire
- Compatible with SilverStone modular power supplies
The above picture shows the set of these cables. These cables have silicon coating which makes them super flexible that can easily be bent to form any shape as per requirement. These cables feature 0.08mm ultra-fine copper wires rated at 16 AWG high current resistance. These cables have a length of 350mm which is more suited for SFF modular PSU for SFF build with space restriction. This length would not only reduce the cable clutter but also helps is routing the cables from the tight spaces in the required shape.
These cables feature 16AWG rating and are wrapped in silicon coating, with UL 94V-2 flammability standard connectors, capable of withstanding high current and high heat tolerance of up to 200°C on the cables and 105°C on the connectors.
SilverStone power supplies have three generations based on the connector designs. Following is the compatibility of PP06E cables with the PSU generations:
Model No | Compatibility |
SST-PP06BE-MB35 | All three generations |
SST-PP06BE-EPS35 | All three generations |
SST-PP06BE-PC235 | Second Generation only |
SST-PP06BE-PC335 | Third Generation only |

Conclusion
SilverStone PP06E is a set of PSU cables which are designed for their modular power supplies and are intended for SFF builds with space constraints. These cables are available in 4 configuration:
- PP06BE-MB35
- PP06BE-PC335
- PP06BE-PC235
- PP06BE-EPS35
Each of these cables has 350mm length. These cables are super flexible thanks to silicon that can easily be bent to form any shape as per requirement. These cables feature 0.08mm ultra-fine copper wires rated at 16 AWG high current resistance. These cables feature 16AWG rating and are wrapped in silicon coating, with UL 94V-2 flammability standard connectors, capable of withstanding high current and high heat tolerance of up to 200°C on the cables and 105°C on the connectors.
SilverStone has three generations of their PSUs based on the connector design. The PP06BE-MB35 and PP06BE-EPS35 are compatible with all three generations whereas the PP06BE-PC235 is compatible with second generation only and PP06BE-PC335 is compatible with third generation only.
These cables are rated at USD 36.99 for MB35, USD 13.99 for EPS35, and USD 25.99 for PC235/PC335. Don’t take these cables as extension cables since these are PSU cables designed for SilverStone modular PSUs. Unfortunately, we don’t have their PSU which is why we could not put these cables to use for testing. We found these cables to be very flexible with good build quality and recommend these for SFF user employing SilverStone PSU in the SFF build.
