Phanteks Revolt - A New Way to Think About Cables

The Phanteks Revolt Series PSUs stand out from every other PSU – they don’t come with cables!

The concept of not including cables may sound crazy, but Phanteks has some very good reasons for doing this. Firstly, by doing this they can save on costs in materials, packaging, and transport. These savings are then passed on to you. Secondly, is that less waste will be created, as people won’t be sticking the excess cables into their “You never know when you’ll need it” box of spare parts, which later gets thrown out by a relative. We’ve all been there.

A Powerful PSU

The Phanteks Revolt PSUs have been developed alongside Seasonic, who are well known for producing exceptional power supplies. The Revolt offers outstanding power delivery, with models for 1000W, 1200W, and 1600W. Each model has been manufactured to perform flawlessly, with phenomenal build quality utilising premium grade materials.

Phanteks Revolt PSUs have been designed to match and even exceed the ATX 3.0 specification. This means that should a component cause a power spike in the system, the Phanteks Revolt won’t be damaged. In fact, these PSUs can handle spikes of up to 235% of its rated power delivery!

What’s more, Phanteks Revolt power supplies are highly efficient, all of which have an 80 PLUS rating. Both the 1000W and 1200W PSUs are rated as 80 PLUS Platinum, which means that they are 94% efficient when at half load. Meanwhile, the 1600W power supply is 80 PLUS Titanium rated, equating to 96% efficiency at half load!

Cableless for a Good Reason

No, Phanteks hasn’t gone crazy when coming up with the idea of a cableless PSU – they have some very good reasons. Just take a moment to think about when you last got a new power supply and took all those cables out the box. How many did you use? You probably didn’t use a few of them. That’s the main advantage of producing a PSU without cables, there’s no waste.

What’s more, by not including any cables, raw materials are saved, packing can be reduced, and more units can be shipped due to the decrease in weight. This means that it costs less to produce a Phanteks Revolt PSU without cables. As such, the price of a Phanteks Revolt PSU is lower than comparable PSUs that include cables.

Where to Get Some Cables

For those of you that don’t already have a custom set of cables ready to use with the Phanteks Revolt, there is an option available to you. Phanteks has produced several PSU cable kits, providing you with an easy option for ordering high quality cables. Additionally, Phanteks has partnered with CableMod, to provide a simple method for ordering a custom set of cables.

The Phanteks cables come in both a starter and complete kit, with both offering a native 12VHPWR PCIe GEN5 cable. Within the starter kit, you get the essentials for building a gaming PC, such as a 24-pin motherboard cable, several SATA cables, and a couple of 8-pin CPU cables. Meanwhile the complete set, as its name suggests, comes with everything you’d find packaged with a standard PSU.

The Phanteks Revolt cable kits have been produced to a premium quality, utilising heavy duty 16AWG copper wire, which is then individually sleeved in a woven fabric. These materials are highly flexible, making them exceptionally easy to route. What’s more, each cable features multiple aluminium combs, perfect for creating clean runs in your build.
