Decent molex cable?

I recently got a usb 3.0 hub for my computer to run my rift sensors and headset, as I didn't have too many 3.0 ports beforehand. The only way to power it is using a 6-pin to molex cable, and the cable that came with my PSU has like 3 unnecessary connectors at the end. I tried to look up cables that were just a 6 pin to molex with no others hanging out but all I could find were ketchup and mustard cables. Anyone know where I can find a decent looking 6 pin to molex cable? Thanks.

I think you would have better luck with a sata to molex adapter.

Your not going to many results due to the fact each PSU uses a different pinout.

 

You can have someone make one or you could just build it your self if you have the tools.
