Front Panel I/O Extension Kit

This Darkside kit provides green braided male-to-female cables that extend the front-panel headers on a motherboard. The set includes leads for HDD LED, power LED positive and negative, reset switch and power switch. Each cable measures 30 cm in length.

Builders extending front-panel reach

The kit suits anyone rerouting front-panel connectors to a new chassis or tidying cables behind a motherboard tray. It does not help builders who need longer runs than 30 cm or who require USB audio or fan-header extensions.

30 cm cable length

Every lead in the kit is 30 cm long, so the distance between the motherboard header and the front-panel PCB must fall within that reach. Measure the routing path before purchase to confirm the length is adequate.

Questions about this item

My case front panel uses standard 2-pin headers — will the 30 cm extensions reach my motherboard?

The 30 cm length is designed to bridge the gap between a standard case front-panel header block and the motherboard front-panel connector area.

Do the green braided cables interfere with older SATA or eSATA data cables routed nearby?

The sleeved front-panel extensions carry only low-current signal wires, so they can run alongside SATA or eSATA cables without interference.

How can I verify each LED and switch extension is seated correctly after installation?

Power on the system — the HDD LED should flicker during drive activity, the power LED should stay lit, and both the power and reset switches must respond when pressed.
