Flex USB 3.0 header extension?

[tbyeah]

I can't find any on the Internet for the life of me

What I'm looking for is an extension cable for the internal usb 3.0 header. All that matters is, it's as slim, pliable, and flexible as possible.

I can't see one on OCUK but I found one by googling 'internal usb 3.0 extension cable'

 

[tbyeah]

None of them look too flexible tbh...

I don't think it's possible due to the nature of the wires.

 

[deano-5]

What case are you using?

 

[tbyeah]

CM Elite 130? Length isn't a concern, it's the flexibility. Planning a build and it can't stick out the board so far.

 

[deano-5]

You're extending the cases built in usbs?

 

[tbyeah]

No, just the internal header. So that instead of the stupid stiff connector sticking up out the board, I can bend the cable over (more easily).

 

[deano-5]

So ideally maybe a 90 degree adapter?

 

[tbyeah]

That would be good but couldn't find one either in the UK

 

[deano-5]

Maybe strip a small amount of the thick wire insulation?

 

[tbyeah]

I would have to practically destroy the connector though, as the wires sort of converge within the connector body before becoming two thick round wires

Honestly might just leave the damn thing unplugged

Looks suitable, there is a black sleeved one

 

[tbyeah]

Thanks for that, the USB3 cable in my case is so stiff and heavy it falls out of the board!
