Cable management can be a mission. With Kolink’s new range of cables and adapters, it just got a whole lot heckin’ easier.
From braided cable extension kits to cable ties, we’re taking a closer look at a whole ruck of helpful products today. Kolink’s impressive new range is going to elevate your gaming PC cables from an unruly mess to a paragon of cable management. Don’t believe me? Well, you’ll just have to read on!
Kolink Core Adept Braided Cable Extension Kit
First on today’s list of Awesome Kolink Cables, we have the Kolink Core Adept Braided Cable Extension Kit. This is a collection of extension cables for your PSU and they come in sixteen vibrant and bright models, even a rainbow one! Typically, there are six cables included, consisting of:
- 1 x 20+4pin cable (300mm)
- 1 x 8pin cable (300mm)
- 1 x 4+4pin cable (300mm)
- 3 x 6+2pin cables (350mm)
More than just a beautiful addition to your gaming PC, these cables utilise a 16AWG wire gauge, making them suitable for high-wattage applications thanks to their high conductivity and heat resistance. Perfect for PCIe 5.0 PSUs and NVIDIA RTX 40 Series graphics cards.
The cables have been braided with PET plastic, ensuring a clean look and smooth bend. Plus, zero heatshrink! Each cable comes with three pre-installed combs, making them much easier to manage when bending into place. What’s more, there is a spare comb per cable, should you need it.
With the colour designs, the cables have been arranged symmetrically with black or white accents to complete the look. Have a gander and start picturing how they’d look in your gaming PC!

The Rainbow One
The eagle-eyed among you might have noticed a lack of rainbows in that beautiful collection of extension kits. Well one, it would make my formatting all weird, and two, the rainbow edition works a little differently.
It utilises all the same materials, number of cables, and is just as easy to integrate within your system. Simply, to get the rainbow colouring right, the cable set needed to be slightly different. Instead of the same colour on both sides of the cables, the top is ROYG whilst the bottom is BIV. This allows you to flip the cables and create the rainbow effect, however you need to configure your cables. As such, you can fully represent the ROGYBIV colours and implement a seamless rainbow.

Kolink Core Adept ARGB Connector Kit
This next product is a serious quality-of-life improvement. Meet the Kolink Core Adept ARGB Connector Kit. This handy-dandy kit is all about securely fasting connectors together and then neatly holding it in place with Velcro. There are six fasteners, which you wrap around two ARGB connectors to firmly hold them together. Then, you stick the self-adhesive Velcro strip to the back of your motherboard tray and anchor the fasteners in place. Quick. Simple. Easy. But such an ingenious addition to your gaming PC.

Kolink 3-Pin Corsair ARGB Adapter Cable
Next on our list of Awesome Kolink Cables, we have the Kolink 3-Pin Corsair ARGB Adapter Cable. This product is a little more niche, but is a real asset in the right situations. Corsair utilise a unique ARGB header on their products, which is fine until you want to add different brand lighting into your set-up. Enter this Kolink adapter cable.
This cable enables you to connect non-Corsair ARGB devices to their unique controllers. One end features the universal 3-pin 5V header whilst the other sports Corsair’s design. As a result, you can integrate more lighting into your gaming PC without having to change your whole ecosystem.

Both of these riser cables utilise copper core wiring, thanks to its excellent conductivity and reliable performance. Enjoy transfer rates up to 256G/bps. Sheathed in plastic, these are flat ribbon cables that malleable and easy to set in place.

Kolink ARGB 1-6 Splitter Cable
This next one is for the RGB lovers. If you’ve decked your gaming PC from ceiling fan to PSU shroud in RGB lighting, you might find yourself running short of motherboard headers. With the Kolink ARGB 1 – 6 Splitter Cable, you can connect up to six ARGB devices to one header. This cable features a singular 3-pin 5V header on the one end, which then splits out into six separate headers via a single junction connector block.
Going one better, the six connectors have removeable headers that be swapped for the available male and female versions. Such flexibility!
It should be noted, however, that this splitter doesn’t support the PWM function on fans. With some careful organisation, though, this shouldn’t be an issue.

This cable creates additional fan support when your motherboard’s supply has been filled, bypassing this component completely. Instead, your fans will be directly powered by the PSU via the Molex connector. Never let the number of headers dictate the amount of fans you install again!

Kolink Black Cable Ties
Our final item on the list of Awesome Kolink Cables is simple, yet oh-so-very useful. Also, technically not a cable, but they will really tie your gaming PC together. (I’ll wait for the groans to die down from that bad pun.)
The Kolink Black Cable Ties come in packs of 100, and are available in two sizes. The first is 2.5mm x 100mm, with a tensile strength of 8.1kg. These are great for on-the-go cable routing and tidying up strays. The second size available is 4.5mm x 200mm, with a tensile strength of 20kg. Being larger and stronger, these cable ties are perfect for anchoring multiple wires into place.
