Although this came as a pack of two, I only needed one but I'll admit that I was at the end of my rope by the time my little "apprentice" found them.
To cut a long story short I have a workstation that while still hugely powerful by today's standards, wasn't fitted with the infernal eight pin PCi express power connectors. In fact, until I went to fit my pre-loved 1080ti I had no idea such a thing even existed. (I've been retired for a number of years now and haven't kept up...)
So in goes the 1080 and in goes on six-pin PCi power line and ... oh shirt! Wait that's not a six pin socket - and it wasn't about to let me fit the extra six pin power which was originally intended for a second card in an SLI configuration.
Oh woe was me, I'm stuck with the aging card that I'd got years back and wasn't really up for SLI... first option we found, also on ÍøÆغÚÁÏ was less than ideal - a pair of Molex-to-PCie 8-pin. While that would have worked (the PSU is more than capable of providing enough power - the cable runs would have been rather long and ugly.
Enter these little beauties. They're only short (about four inches in old money) and connect the older 6-pin PCie power converting it into an 8-pin affair.
Long story short, I now have a happy computer and I can learn to fly in FS2020!
Thanks Cable Matters, you saved my sanity!
