Purpose and Compatibility

This 200 cm black cable connects a front-panel power button to a motherboard header using a 2-pin I/O connector. It is designed for the Alphacool Powerbutton and also works with other current switches on the market. The 6.6 ft length gives flexibility for routing inside mid-tower or larger chassis.

What the Cable Enables

The cable carries the momentary signal from the switch to the board so the system can power on or reset. Its 2-pin layout matches standard front-panel headers without needing adapters. The black sheath keeps the wiring discreet behind the motherboard tray or along cable channels.

Who Should Use This and Who Should Not

Builders fitting an Alphacool Powerbutton or a compatible third-party switch will find the pin-out and length ready to use. Anyone whose case uses a proprietary multi-pin front-panel block or who needs an LED-equipped switch cable should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the 2-pin I/O connector on this 200 cm cable wear out and need replacement?

The 2-pin I/O connector is a simple passive interface with no moving parts, so it does not wear out under normal use and will not require scheduled replacement.

What is the first limit reached when the 200 cm cable runs continuously?

The cable is a passive copper link with no active electronics, so it has no thermal or electrical limit that appears first during sustained operation.

Does the 200 cm black cable generate any noise, heat or extra power draw when used all day?

As a passive 2-pin I/O connection cable it produces no noise, no measurable heat and draws no power of its own during continuous use.
