Unlock the hidden potential of your motherboard’s USB headers. This 6-foot extension cable features a 4-pin female header on one end and a panel-mountable USB-A connector on the other, allowing you to place a standard USB port exactly where you need it, even on the other side of your workbench or in a custom enclosure. It’s the perfect solution for adding accessible USB ports to arcade cabinets or 3D printer enclosures without running cables out the back of the PC.
Most panel-mount cables plug into an existing USB port, but this one connects directly to the source. By connecting directly to the 0.1" pitch header on your motherboard or development board, you free up your external USB ports for other devices.
It’s the simple, sturdy upgrade that extends the reach of one of the world's most popular serial connections.
*Unlike our other Panel Mount Cables, this USB to 4-pin Female Header Cable does not include any mounting hardware. These will need to be purchased separately.
6-foot Cable Length
While the 4-pin female header on this cable follows the standard USB colour code, motherboard pinouts can vary. Before plugging this cable into your board, always check your motherboard manual to verify that the voltage and ground pins match the cable:
Plugging the header in backward (swapping 5V and GND) can permanently damage your USB drive or motherboard.
