Segotep Confirms Titanload 16 pin 14A EX Cable Launch This Month Canceling 12A Version for a More Reliable RTX 50 Series Solution
A more robust and safer 16 pin GPU power solution is about to enter the Chinese market as Segotep finalizes its Titanload 16 pin product strategy. The company has officially confirmed that only the upgraded 14A EX version of its Titanload cable will move forward, marking the end of its previously announced 12A model. Segotep shared the update through its FAQ and product communication channels, following initial announcements last week and additional details highlighted on Bilibili.
The Titanload cable series was introduced to address ongoing 16 pin connector failures that have plagued many high end RTX 50 series GPUs. These failures have resulted in widespread reports of melted connectors and damaged graphics cards, prompting third party manufacturers to develop safer alternatives. Segotep’s initial offering included both a standard 9.2A Intel ATX 3.1 compliant model and two enhanced Titanload versions. The company positioned Titanload as a far more reliable option due to improved contact stability and superior thermal behavior.
In its most recent update, Segotep announced the complete cancellation of the 12A version, stating that the 14A EX model will become its primary and recommended product moving forward. Internal testing suggests that the 14A EX can reduce the 16 pin connector failure rate to as low as 1.2 percent a significant improvement over typical industry rates.
Segotep has also confirmed that the official release window for the Titanload 14A EX cable begins this month in China, with wider availability expected by January 2026. According to the company’s FAQ, the cable will be fully compatible with all GPUs and PSUs utilizing the standard 12V 2x6 interface and compliant with PCIe 5.0 specifications. No physical modifications will be required, offering a plug and play upgrade path for users of RTX 5090 RTX 5080 and other next generation GPUs.
The manufacturer clarified that it has no plans to introduce ninety degree or right angle versions of the connector. The 14A EX requires more force to plug in and remove due to its thicker contact surface and tighter structural design, and Segotep believes angled variants would complicate reliability. The Titanload cable will feature an integrated cable comb for cleaner cable management and will be sold as a standalone accessory rather than being packaged with graphics cards.
Testing graphs previously shared by Segotep illustrate the thermal advantage provided by the Titanload connector design. Thicker pins and increased contact area significantly reduce heat buildup, directly addressing the root cause of 16 pin melting incidents. While the solution is currently limited to the Chinese market, early adopters hope to see similar innovations reach global markets as industry demand for safer high power GPU connectors continues to rise.
The price for the Titanload 14A EX has not yet been announced, but for users running cutting edge GPUs where power stability and safety are paramount, this upgraded connector may become an essential safeguard in high end PC builds.
Do you think manufacturers should adopt safer third party 16 pin solutions like Titanload globally? Would you replace your GPU cable with a more durable 14A EX option?
