Do all output cables need to remain attached?

The original output wire assembly should generally remain attached whenever practical.

Can different connector types be included?

Yes. Different power supplies may use different connector configurations depending on the equipment they originally supported.

Does cable length affect the purchasing category?

No. Cable length alone does not determine the purchasing category.

Can used power supplies still qualify?

Yes. Normal signs of previous installation generally do not affect category identification.

Should loose wires be presented together with power supplies?

Whenever practical, loose electrical wiring should be separated from complete power supplies with attached cable assemblies.

Can damaged housing still qualify?

Possibly. Minor physical damage does not automatically change the purchasing category if the original wire assembly remains attached.

Are external power adapters included?

No. External AC adapters and power bricks belong to different purchasing categories.

Can ATX and server power supplies be mixed together?

Yes. Different power supply models may be presented together, provided they remain complete units with attached factory output wiring.

How does Ohata identify this purchasing category?

Ohata generally confirms this purchasing category by reviewing whether the power supply retains its factory-installed output wire assembly, together with the housing configuration, cable attachment, overall assembly completeness, and physical condition before completing the purchasing evaluation.

Key Buying Introduction

1. Power supplies convert electricity from an AC wall outlet into the DC power required by computers and other electronic equipment. This category applies to power supplies that still retain their original factory output wire assembly.

2. The original output wires should remain attached to the power supply housing. These cables are part of the original assembly and help identify the unit as a complete power supply rather than a partially dismantled component.

3. Customers generally do not need to remove the output wires before bringing the power supply to Ohata. Simply present the unit in its current assembled condition for purchasing evaluation.

4. Whenever practical, power supplies with attached factory wiring should be sorted separately from power supplies without wires, loose electrical cables, computer components, and other electronic scrap. Proper sorting helps simplify inspection and supports accurate purchasing category identification.

5. The final purchasing evaluation is generally based on the presence of the original wire assembly, overall completeness, physical condition, quantity presented, and current electronic scrap market conditions. Purchasing prices and buying conditions may change without prior notice.

Buying Details of Conditions

What is Power Supply with wire?

This purchasing category is intended for power supplies that still retain their original factory-installed output wires.

The attached cable assembly is the primary characteristic used to distinguish this category from power supplies where the wiring has already been removed.

Original Cable Routing Should Remain Intact

The output wires do not need to be perfectly organized.

However, whenever practical, the factory cable assembly should remain attached in its original routing rather than being partially removed or separated from the housing.

The overall cable assembly helps maintain product identification.

Cable Types May Vary

Different power supplies may contain different output cable configurations depending on their intended application.

Examples include:

24-pin motherboard connectors
CPU power connectors
SATA power connectors
PCI Express connectors
Peripheral (Molex) connectors
Industrial DC output cables

The connector style itself does not determine the purchasing category.

Housing and Wiring Are Evaluated Together

The housing and output wiring are considered one integrated assembly for purchasing identification.

The cable assembly is evaluated as part of the complete power supply rather than as separate recyclable wire.

Previous Use Does Not Affect Category Identification

Recovered power supplies may show:

Dust accumulation
Surface scratches
Label wear
Minor oxidation
Bent mounting flanges
Normal signs of installation

These conditions generally do not change the purchasing category when the original wire assembly remains attached.

Separate Loose Wire From Attached Wire Assemblies

Loose electrical wire, removed cable bundles, extension cords, or unrelated wiring should preferably be sorted separately from complete power supplies.

Presenting attached cable assemblies together helps simplify inspection.

How Ohata Identifies This Category

During inspection, Ohata may review:

Factory wire assembly
Housing configuration
Output cable attachment
Overall assembly completeness
Physical condition
Mixed electronic materials

The purchasing category is confirmed according to the actual power supply assembly presented for inspection.
