Reason for uniform spacing of molex 4-pin h/d power connectors?
I notice that the distance between the molex 4-pin hd power connectors
on a given line from the PSU seems to be uniform, and seems to be very similar even on different PSU's from different manuf's from different eras. Is there a specific reason for this?

Is there a specific reason for this? Industry standard, maybe? They're all color-coded the same and keyed alike, so it lessens the chance of blowing something up. -- SC Tom

Snip BTW - this is my favorite (unintentially) funny power supply advertisement.
