Included Cables
The main 24pin ATX cable features the standard 24pin connector configuration and is the only core cable that is not completely black. If you have an older system with a 20pin ATX port, you should probably be looking at upgrading some of those parts before moving to the Hybrid 1050W but cheap adaptors are readily available thanks to the web.
There are two sets of 12v CPU power connectors and both use the 4+4 configuration for better compatibility. Unlike the main 24pin connector you can install each 4+4 plug separately. Looking at overall cable lengths the 24pin measures in at about 25.5" and the 4+4pin cables measure in at around 28 inches long.
The Silent Pro Hybrid 1050W supports four GPUs in a single system either in SLI or Crossfire configurations. To accomplish this Cooler Master has included four ~27 inch PCI Express power cables in a 6+2pin configuration. This flexibility allows for each cable to support cards with dual power connectors using both 6pin or 8pin leads.Two of the cables feature single 6+2 pin leads to accommodate cards with a higher power draw such as the GTX 590 and HD 6990.
A single floppy drive cable is provided with two +12V Molex leads and measures 21inches to the first device with 29 inches total. I am sure there are still devices out in the wild that require this plug.

The final cables are your standard SATA and Molex power connections. Each cable features four plugs per end and measure in at around 21 inches to the first device and about 33 inches end to end.
