LITE POWER MEETS UNRIVALED PERFORMANCE

 

Antec’s HCG M power supplies are the perfect combination of power and efficiency. The HCG M features special 
heavy-duty High Current connectors and cabling that supply extreme levels of power, and superb efficiency thanks 
to 80 PLUS® Bronze certification and Active PFC. Highest-quality connectors, Japanese-brand capacitors, and a 
quiet 135 mm double ball bearing fan complete the package. The HCG-400M features High Current Cable 
Management and 10-pin modular connectors. If loads of power, High Current engineering and extreme efficiency 
are what you’re after, the HCG M is the PSU for you.

The connectors and power specifications of the HCG-400M PSU are all compatible with ATX12V v2.32 and EPS12V 
v2.92 specifications. The HCG-400M features Universal Input, which automatically senses when you connect the 
power supply to any AC power source between 100 - 240V without setting a voltage switch. This power supply also 
features Active Power Factor Correction (PFC), which improves the power factor value of the power supply by 
altering the input current wave shape, helping to power transmission across the grid.

ROTECTION

 

A variety of industrial-grade safety circuitry will help protect your computer: Over Current Protection (OCP), Over 
Voltage Protection (OVP), Under Voltage Protection (UVP), Short Circuit Protection (SCP), Over Power Protection 
(OPP) and Surge & Inrush Protection (SIP). Sometimes the PSU will “latch” into a protected state. You will need to 
power off the PSU and clear the fault before it will function again. There are no user-replaceable fuses in your 
HCG-400M.
