USB 3.0 Internal Right Angle?

bakersdozen22 · 21 Nov 2020 at 18:26

Hi guys,

Before I buy a suspect looking right angle connector on ebay, do you know of any reputable or common part used to solve this issue? I hate how the cable comes out of the hole in the case and winds round itself to plug into the motherboard.. it's an eyesore!

Thanks!

They are straight through connectors, will either work or not basic. Just make sure you get one that turns the right way.

Are you asking after something like the device on the left?

I got it from ebay and it works just fine.

I got mine from eBay as well, works just fine. Quartz is right on the money - they come in two versions depending on desired orientation

Seems reasonable, nothing special I guess? When it arrived I plugged my USB cable into it and then plugged it into the motherboard, haven't touched it since. Worth the £2.80 imo

I needed one of these, but like OP was sceptical. I'll give one a whirl then.

Loads on auction site

Is there one for all the case connections? I would like one for power switch, HDD light, reset button etc.

Is that ATX 24 pin elbow?

Yes, and it's the 'CoolerMaster ATX 24 Pin 90° Adapter With Capacitors' which I purchased from OCUK for £16.99.

does it work well? seen some cheapy ones on auction, they just look like straight metal leg connctors with no additional components. I suspect that is a bit dubious.

Yes it works well - it's in this very PC. And the cheaper ones work well too - I have one in my spare PC. Both make the innards look a lot neater and reduce the strain on the cable and the motherboard connector.

do you happen to know if there is one for all the switch connectors

There are for many, all a quick search away - competitor links aren't allowed - and OCUK sell SATA cables with 90 degree connectors.

i meant the power switches and reset button ones. i can see some extension cables but none that gives me an elbow that i can neatly tuck the cable out of the way.
