I am looking for an Apple part number for what Apple calls the video card "booster cable". It is basically the alternate power cable for graphics cards that require more than the PCI-E bus supplies. PC graphics cards have the same requirement but Apple went and used a non-standard connector on the logic board. I need to see if I can order the cable. I would rather spend a few extra bucks that have to use a couple of Y adapters to hook up a 7900GTX.

The Service Manual for the Mac Pro references the booster cable quite a few times but never lists the P/N. It doesn't show up in the exploded diagrams either.

Can someone find this number for me?
