The Antec High Current Pro Platinum 1300W ships in a large box highlighting most of the main selling points. Ideal for a retail store environment.
Inside the box is a thin user manual, along with screws for mounting and some cable ties.
Full marks for packaging – Antec are using thick foam to protect everything inside. The modular cables are all protected inside a soft felt bag (top left). The Antec High Current Pro Platinum power supply is also protected inside a felt bag (top right).
The quality of the cables is very high, although they are quite ‘rigid' and may take a little effort to bend and route in some cases. We like how Antec have attached labels to some of the cables to help guide the user during the install phase.
| Cable | Connectors |
| ATX 20+4 pin | x1 (560mm) |
| 6+2 pin PCIe | x4 (550mm) |
| 6+2 Pin PCIe | x6 (550mm + 145mm) |
| 4+4 pin EPS12V/ATX12V | x2 (645mm) |
| SATA | x9 (550mm + 150mm) |
| MOLEX / FDD | x3 (550mm + 150mm) /x1 (+150mm) |
| MOLEX | x3 (550mm + 150mm) |
| OC LINK CABLE | x1 (550mm) |
No shortage of PCIe connectors – with ten included in the bundle. There are also two EPS connectors and all of these can be used simultaneously if needed. I was quite surprised however to see only 9 SATA connectors available – I would have expected at least 12 with such a powerful unit.
