Internal USB 2.0 Cable Wires

Hello, I'm replacing an internal usb 2.0 cable with a longer one to connect an Intel wifi/bluetooth card to the motherboard for the bluetooth function to work. The original usb cable has 5 wires on one row and 4 on the other. The new cable only has 4 wires in both rows. The new cable works fine. Is the extra wire necessary?

Only eight contacts are needed, ninth pin is not connected to anything. (or at most another ground)
