Modular PSU cables and connectors specs

[ArcanumSteamwork]

Hello I am trying to build an ITX PC with a Cooler Master V750 PSU. The cables are really long and I want to make shorter ones. From other threads like this I know that modular connectors are proprietary but here I have found connectors that seem to be really the same (I have checked the matches with the original cables between square and round pins).
Now my question is about the wires I should use to make new cables; on some of the original cables I can see these writings but I don't know which are the important parts (product code, model....) and that is what I am asking you to clarify:

RL AWM E343829 2468 18AWG 80°C 300V VW-1 CHENAN-L

RL AWM E343829 2468 22AWG 80°C 300V VW-1 CHENAN-L

well 22 Gauge is pretty thin. way to thin for these applications. with 18 AWG you can run 16 amps per wire which I think is a much safer idea. Just be careful working with a PSU, having been shocked by one before I assure you it is at best no fun and at worse possibly life threatening.

AWG (american Wire Gauge) is how thick the conductor of the wire is and thus how much current it can carry. the 300V means that you can safely have a voltage potential of up to 300V and the insulation will keep someone from getting shocked. (no problem here these cables will never carry more than 12V.) the 80C means that the insulation is rated at up to 80C (also not an issue unless you intend to rout it right in between the CPU and heat sink...) the rest I am not to certain about but I have a feeling it is brand specific.

you can actually buy the wires already sleeved and terminated for you

yeah but what fun is that?

lol some people dont enjoy doing it just saying if they want less work its possible to avoid it

Thank you, apparently the only problem are the connectors then, every 18gauge wire will work in the same way, there are no specific requirements for them.

I think I will sleeve the wire by myself using some shrink tubes because I have to cut the wire of the exact length I need and apply the terminal on my own.

Can you tell me the name/model of these (https://www.moddiy.com/products/ATX-%7B47%7D-PCI-%7B47%7D-EPS-Connector-Pins-%28Female%29.html) pins? I tried to find it online but I found only the Dupont type that doesn't have the lateral wings

 

[mcnumpty23]

they are ATX / PCI / EPS Connector Pins (Female)

better picture here when you zoom shows the 2 tabs or lateral wings as you called them
