So Corsair is one of our more popular brands for cables next to Seasonic. They made a change however with their Shift series first and now its extended to their SFX and SFX line of PSUs.
This change was to swap the traditional MiniFit Jr style connectors and terminals with MicroFit+ connectors and terminals. We initially offered just barewire kits for the Thor Zone NanoQ offering and we plugged in an arbitrary number to help offset the cost. The problem is that arbitrary number was well under the cost of even just the MicroFit+ terminals and connectors. Each terminal cost around 31 cents and the connectors range in cost from 72 cents to 2 dollars. So the increased price is just to cover a bulk of the material cost and not labor.
We do want to expand the Corsair Type 5 cables to their other models and even offer them as a sleeved option by using mini cables between the PSU and cables. However the current raw material price does make it cost prohibitive. We are looking into another solution for acquiring compatible terminals and connectors other than using the official molex ones. If we are able to do so. We will bring down the price a bit to help cover labor but these will always be a bit more of a premium line since they do have to all be hand crimped.
