1/2X500 FLASHSHIELD CSST PIPE

What it actually is

• FSP-8-500 is NOT a retail single SKU
• It is an internal / OEM shorthand for the FSP PS8-500 family
• This family includes multiple variants like:
  • PS8-500ATX-BB (Bronze PS/2 500W)
  • PS8-500FATX-GB (Gold Flex/industrial variant)

Key platform specs (typical PS8-500 family)

• Power: 500W
• Input: 100–240V AC
• Form factor:
  • PS2 (full ATX) or FlexATX depending on sub-variant
• Efficiency:
  • ~82% (Bronze) to ~87% (Gold) depending on model
• Protections:
  • OVP / OCP / SCP / OPP
• Typical rails:
  • +12V multi-rail design (≈17A x2 on many PS2 versions)

Important clarification

• “FSP-8-500” = platform identifier, not a unique part number

• Exact:

  • connectors (PCIe count)
  • efficiency rating
  • chassis fit (PS2 vs FlexATX)

  all depend on the suffix model (BB / GB / ZE / etc.)

Bottom line

• ✔ It’s a standard FSP 500W OEM PSU family
• ✔ Reliable industrial-grade platform (used in many prebuilt/workstation systems)
• ⚠ Not a single exact SKU—needs suffix to fully specify the unit
