Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the 9-Pin Motherboard Header Extension Cable do?

A: This cable consolidates your PC case's front-panel wires — Power SW, Reset SW, PLED (power indicator), and HDD LED (hard drive activity light) — into a single, clearly labeled 9-pin keyed connector. It slots directly onto your motherboard's front-panel header, making the connection process quick, organized, and error-free.

Q: Which motherboards is this cable compatible with?

A: This 9-pin extension cable is designed to work with the vast majority of standard ATX motherboards. The keyed connector follows the widely used ATX front-panel header layout, so it will fit most desktop PC motherboards from popular manufacturers.

Q: What length should I choose — 20 cm, 30 cm, or 50 cm?

A: The right length depends on your case size and where your motherboard's front-panel header is located relative to the case's front-panel wire leads. For mid-tower cases with standard routing, 20–30 cm is usually sufficient. For larger full-tower cases or builds with complex cable management routes, the 50 cm option provides extra flexibility.

Q: Is any special installation required?

A: No — this cable is completely plug-and-play. Simply align the labeled connector with your motherboard's 9-pin front-panel header (consult your motherboard manual for pin location), press it firmly into place, and route the flat cable neatly through your case. No tools or software needed.
