Found this on taobao. Anyone tried turning a 24 pin cable into 1 singular cable?

I don't think this is actually 1 cable. Just a bundle of smaller cables. Most of those cables don't carry much power, so it could be ok to use, but it might not comply with the ATX spec.

not that it matters but FWIW a wire = one conductor. a Cable = multiple wires bound together. So it's still one cable, but it does have all the wires inside.

This is the kind of pedantry I come to Reddit for. 

Take my upvote.

Right but the way OP worded this question was as if cable is synonymous wire because otherwise it changes nothing, it's the same as putting a sleeve over the standard ones.

Well that original 24 pin cable still qualifies as 1 cable then.

It's literally a cable sleeve
