The USBINT5PINMF 18-inch internal USB (Universal Serial Bus) IDC Motherboard Header Extension Cable, extends the reach of an existing 5-pin USB (Universal Serial Bus) Motherboard Header Cable by 18 inches. The added length makes it easier to connect multi-function front panels or any device that relies on internal USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports, directly to a motherboard or expansion card that features a USB (Universal Serial Bus) IDC (Header) connection; this eliminates the need to stretch cables by ensuring the connection you need is within reach, which then removes strain on motherboard connections.
