XT30 Female Pigtail Power Cable – 1 Meter, 16 AWG | Bitaxe, Nerdaxe, Hammer miner Compatible
Heavy-Duty 12V DC XT30 Female Pigtail Cable (16 AWG, 1 Meter)
Eliminate voltage drops and unstable hash rates with our premium 16 AWG XT30 Female to Bare Wire Pigtail Cable. Custom-engineered for home Bitcoin miners, solo lottery rigs, and DIY 12V DC power distribution, this heavy-duty power lead provides a secure, low-resistance bridge between high-efficiency power supplies (like Mean Well LRS series) and your mining hardware.

Why Choose 16 AWG for Home Mining?
- Zero Throttle & Stable Hashrates: Thin stock wires cause voltage sag under heavy hash loads. Our 16 AWG UL2464 pure copper conductors minimize line resistance and thermal buildup, delivering true 12V power straight to your ASIC boards.
- Pre-Tinned PSU Leads: The bare wire ends are stripped (~5mm) and factory pre-tinned with solder, preventing frayed strands when securing into screw terminals or crimping fork/ring lugs.
- 1-Meter Rack-Friendly Slack: Standard 30cm or 50cm pigtails create tight bends and strain on ports. At 1 meter (39.4 inches), you get ideal reach for tidy cable management across rack rails, enclosures, and workbench setups.
- High-Retention XT30 Connector: Genuine tight-tolerance XT30 female jack resists vibration and thermal expansion, preventing high-resistance arcing and intermittent disconnects.
Verified Compatibility
⚡ Supported Mining Hardware

Pro Tip: For connection to Mean Well terminal blocks, you can clamp the pre-tinned leads directly under the terminal screws, or crimp your preferred M3.5/M4 spade or fork terminals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is 16 AWG heavy enough to power a Bitaxe or NerdQaxe?
A: Yes. Most home ASIC miners draw between 15W and 40W (approx. 1.25A to 3.3A at 12V). This 16 AWG cable is rated for continuous loads up to 10A (120W), providing a massive safety margin and virtually zero voltage drop over its 1-meter length.
Q: Which wire is positive and which is negative?
A: The cable uses standard DC color coding: Red wire is Positive (+ / V+) and Black wire is Negative (- / V- / GND). Always verify polarity with a multimeter before powering on your hardware.
Q: Does this include fork or ring terminals for the power supply?
A: No. The PSU side comes stripped and pre-tinned (~5mm) so you have the flexibility to clamp directly into screw terminals, use WAGO connectors, or crimp specific lugs matching your power distribution block.
