psu power cable not included?

[casilladelucas]

im about to buy a psu seasonic 520w S12ii 80 plus bronze and reading some forums in my country, is said that sometimes for safety,legal or whatever, the power cable (the one going from the psu to the wall) is not included in the box,so they only give you the psu.my question is, can It be replaced with any power cable? or does it have to be in some way specific?

No, the power connector on every power supply is the same(for a specific voltage range of course - 110 V or 220 V). You can use the cable you are currently using(if any) for the new power supply, just make sure the power supply actually supports the power you are getting from the wall(that is, the voltage range is supported). According to Seasonic's website, the unit supports both voltage ranges, so you can use it anywhere in the world. Coming back to the question, you can use the same cable you are currently using, on any PSU.

I don't see why it wouldn't come with a power cord. Maybe if they ship it from the US to elsewhere they remove the power cord? A US power cord likely won't fit your wall outlet anyway.

But yes you can buy a power cable for it. Make sure the wire is a thick enough gauge however. I am using a sesonic G550 right now and it came with an 18AWG power cable so that should be plenty for your PSU.

okay,so I just swap out the old psu for the seasonic,and use the old cable to plug into the seasonic,right? they seller of where im getting the psu said to me that sometimes it comes with it,and sometimes it doesn't,and I freaked out like a mofo

Yes it will work. As for the wire supporting the current, almost all wires made for computer power supplies are thick enough to handle even 1000 watt(which I know isn't the unit of current) power supplies, so it really won't be a problem.
