Description

StarTech USBINT5PIN Internal USB IDC Motherboard Header Cable

Overview

The StarTech USBINT5PIN is an 18-inch internal USB IDC (In-line Direct Connector) cable designed to connect legacy or specialized internal components requiring a 5-pin USB motherboard header. This cable is essential for integrating devices like front-panel USB ports, specific add-in cards, or certain surveillance system components that utilize this older header standard, ensuring reliable data transfer within your system. The USBINT5PIN model provides the necessary link for systems where motherboard headers are limited or occupied.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any motherboard featuring a standard 5-pin USB IDC header. It is commonly used for connecting front-panel USB ports on PC cases, internal USB hubs, or specific add-in cards that require a direct motherboard connection. For surveillance systems, it can be used to connect internal USB devices to dedicated motherboard headers on NVRs or specialized industrial PCs.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C (4°F to 140°F). Storage temperature should be maintained between -10°C to 30°C (14°F to 86°F) with humidity between 30%-75% RH. The 24 AWG wire gauge ensures sufficient current handling for standard USB devices. Ensure the motherboard header is clean and free of debris before connecting the IDC connectors. The 18-inch length provides flexibility for routing within most PC chassis or enclosures.
