Hello
Your question about PCIE 6+2 cables is understandable.
Using a 6+2 connector on the split cable is equivalent to having a separate dedicated 6+2 cable.

Whether employing a single 6+2 connector on the split cable matches using a dedicated single 6+2 cable depends on specifics. Clarify if you mean the pigtail/daisychain connector from a 6+2 pin, and provide details like your PSU model, age, and the GPU you're connecting to.

when discussing a cable with 2 6+2 pins at its end, the response is no. if your card requires 2 8 pins, you must use two distinct pci cables.
