InLine Internal USB 2.0 Extension Cable 2x 5-Pin Male to Female 10-Pin IDC 0.05m

The InLine Internal USB 2.0 Extension Cable 2x 5-Pin Male to Female 10-Pin IDC 0.05m is designed to extend internal motherboard USB connections within a PC case. This cable helps bridge short distances when motherboard headers and internal components are positioned far apart or are difficult to reach. Featuring a compact length of 5 cm, it allows for neat cable management in tight computer builds without adding excessive slack or clutter inside the chassis.

Advantages

This internal extension cable facilitates easier plugging of internal devices in restricted spaces within the computer case. It utilizes a direct and compatible connection with a 1:1 pin configuration, ensuring that signal mapping between the motherboard and the connected component remains unchanged and correct. The straightforward design prevents mix-ups during assembly and enables quick, tool-free installation without requiring complex cable rerouting. Its very short length keeps the interior organized and ensures that airflow is not obstructed by unnecessary cable loops.

Suitable for

• Extending internal motherboard USB 2.0 headers
• Connecting internal system components in compact PC builds
• Bridging short distances between hard-to-reach connectors
• Tidy cable management in custom desktop computers

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for bridging long distances inside large server chassis due to its strict 0.05 m length limit. It is also not suitable for external USB device connections, as it is exclusively built with internal 10-pin IDC headers for motherboard-level use.

Key specifications

• USB 2.0 standard supporting data transfer rates up to 480 Mbit/s
• 2x 5-pin male to female 10-pin IDC connectors
• 1:1 pin assignment
• Cable length: 0.05 m (5 cm)
• Multicolour design

How to use

To use the cable, power down and unplug your computer system, then open the side panel to access the internal components. Locate the internal USB 2.0 header on your motherboard or the existing cable that requires extension. Plug the female end of the InLine extension cable into the motherboard header or male connector, ensuring proper orientation according to the pin layout. Connect the other end of your internal device or component to the male connector of the extension cable. Verify that the 1:1 connection is secure and aligned correctly before closing the PC case and restoring power.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your motherboard features standard internal 10-pin IDC USB 2.0 headers
• Check the distance between your components to ensure the 0.05 m length is sufficient
• Confirm that your internal devices use a 5-pin or 10-pin USB connection standard

Usage recommendations

Always disconnect the power supply and discharge static electricity before working inside your computer case to prevent damage to sensitive motherboard components. Ensure that connectors are aligned properly with the pin layout to avoid bent pins or incorrect signal transmission.
