Use a PCI-express power cable from a different brand of power supply?

Is there an industry standard for the PCI-express pin-outs on modular (or semi-modular) power supplies, like the Corsair CX750M?

 

I’d like to use the single PCI-Express 8 x 6 cable from an OCZ Mod-X-Stream Pro to power my nVidia GTX650 PCI-e video card, which only requires a single 6-pin PCI-e connection, rather than the monster multi-connector 8 x 6+2 PCI-e cable that came with my CX750M.

Does Corsair offer a simple single PCI-e 8 x 6 cable that will fit the CX750M for those of us who only run one PCI-e video card? The PCI-e cable that came with the CX750M is massive overkill for a single PCI-e video card setup and a real pain to route. Outside of the main ATX power cable, it's easily the largest cable in my system. Ridiculous!

I want to thank Yellowbeard and jonnyguru for the quick replies and good advice. I found a brand new Corsair CP-8920111 cable online for $5.26 USD, shipped, and ordered it. Well worth that amount to get rid of that monster PCI-e cable that came with the CX750M!

 

Thanks again.
