ADVANCED HYBRID CABLE MANAGEMENT

The CP-1000 uses Advanced Hybrid Cable Management. Cables that are important or mandatory are permanently connected to the PSU for the highest quality power delivery. There are modular jacks on the back of the PSU to add additional cables as needed. Using only the cables you need will reduce clutter and improve airflow inside your case. For the list of connected and optional cables, see Table 2.

MODULAR CABLE JACKS

There are two black jacks and two red jacks on the back of your CP-1000 PSU. These jacks are for the optional cables that come with your power supply. The black connectors are used for Molex or SATA cables. Because of the high power requirements of modern graphics cards, the red cables are set up to handle their needs. If you are not using the red connectors for PCI-Express connectors, then you can use them for additional Molex or SATA cables as needed.

CP-1000 specifications

The Antec CP-1000 is a cutting-edge power supply unit designed for high-performance computing systems, tailored specifically for gamers and professionals alike. With a sleek and robust design, the CP-1000 is built to deliver reliable and efficient power while ensuring exceptional thermal management.

One of the standout features of the CP-1000 is its impressive wattage capacity of 1000 watts, providing ample power for even the most demanding hardware setups. This translates into the ability to support multi-GPU configurations and high-end components without breaking a sweat. The power supply is equipped with a range of connectors, including multiple PCI-E, SATA, and Molex cables, making it versatile enough to accommodate various builds.

The CP-1000 integrates advanced technologies designed to enhance efficiency. With an 80 PLUS Gold certification, it operates at a minimum efficiency of 90% at typical loads. This not only contributes to lower electricity bills but also minimizes heat generation, promoting a more stable operating environment. The unit utilizes active PFC (Power Factor Correction), which optimizes the flow of power, boosting efficiency further.

In terms of safety, the Antec CP-1000 incorporates various protection mechanisms such as over voltage protection, under voltage protection, short circuit protection, and over power protection. These features ensure that your components remain safe even in the event of unexpected surges or fluctuations, providing peace of mind for users who rely heavily on their systems.

Thermal management is also a key consideration in the design of the CP-1000. It features a quiet 135mm fan that provides excellent airflow while minimizing noise levels. The fan is designed to spin only when necessary, thanks to a temperature-controlled design that adapts to the load on the power supply. This means that while the unit is working to deliver power, it does so silently, allowing gamers and professionals to focus on their tasks without distraction.

The unit's modular design enhances cable management, allowing users to connect only the cables needed for their specific setup. This not only improves airflow within the case but also contributes to a cleaner and more organized build.

In summary, the Antec CP-1000 is a powerhouse in the realm of power supply units, combining efficiency, reliability, and advanced technologies. Whether for gaming or professional use, it stands out as an optimal choice for anyone seeking a high-performance, safe, and efficient power solution for their computing needs.
