Genuine Dell OEM ribbon cable

This genuine Dell OEM ribbon cable connects the USB, HDMI and eSATA I/O circuit board to the motherboard in an Alienware M18x laptop. It carries the Dell part number 5FG2Y and matches the cable markings PAR10 IOB and LF-6574P. The part is supplied new and tested.

Single-cable I/O interconnect

The ribbon carries all signals for the USB, HDMI and eSATA ports through one flexible flat cable. Its length and pin count are fixed by the M18x chassis design, so it cannot be extended or adapted for other port layouts. No other interface or protocol is supported by this cable.

Verify M18x motherboard connector

Before ordering, confirm that your Alienware M18x uses the same I/O board connector and cable routing as the original design. The cable is specific to the M18x model and will not fit other Dell or Alienware laptops. Buyers needing a different port configuration or a longer reach cannot use this part.
