Packaging and Accessories
The box of the SF750 is simple yet informative. On the front face (as well as on the sides) we see the photo of the unit and at the back we find all the main electrical specifications, features, and diagrams of the efficiency levels, as well as the fan noise profile. A list of included cables can also be found at the bottom of the box.
Inside the box we have two sections: one for the PSU itself and the second one for the included cables and other accessories.
Besides the modular cables Corsair includes an AC cable, three Velcro ties, plenty of regular zip ties, a brief manual, a bracket allowing to mount the PSU in a traditional ATX mounting niche, and enough screws to both install the PSU in a case and use the ATX frame. The list of all included cables and their lengths is provided in the table below.
Cables

PATA | 3 | 100 mm + 115 mm + 115 mm | 1 |
When evaluating the supplied cabling for a PSU we need to take into account the PSU's total wattage as well as what cases it might end up in. As this is an SFX unit, it will most likely end up in a small chassis, making the seemingly short cables very appropriate. However, in a standard ATX or even microATX chassis the cable lengths would almost certainly be lacking for the 24 pin and EPS cables, not to mention any sort of cable management. So while Corsair does include a mounting frame to secure the SF750 in the mounting holes of a regular ATX PSU, it should only be seen as an option to mount the PSU in a smaller form factor case that can house regular ATX size units.
In terms of available connectors for a small form factor PC, the SF750 has plenty of connectivity. That includes use cases for a classical gaming PC with the latest generation of GPUs, workstations or (given that a total of eight SATA power connectors are available) a storage server. The cable lengths are fully appropriate for a small form factor PC. However, with the large and growing number of SFF PC cases, make sure to spend some time to investigate whether the cable lengths will be sufficient for your use case.
In terms of the sleeving the cables have very good quality individual nylon sleeving. However—perhaps partially due to the sleeving and partially due to the shorter than usual length of the cables—they feel fairly stiff and may require some additional effort when managing the cables for an actual build.
The cables have no inline capacitors for ripple/noise suppression.
