Putting together a new system and looking for an Internal USB 3 header cable extension that has been sleeved. I hate how stiff the manufacturers make the USB 3 cables.
Something like Bitfenix's Alchemy cables but for the internal USB 3 header...
Internal USB 3 Header Cable
Re: Internal USB 3 Header Cable
Don't think one exists. The stiffness is due to the shielding in the cable.

Re: Internal USB 3 Header Cable
NZXT makes sleeved cable extensions and they don't offer them either from what I see - http://store.nzxt.com/premium-cable-sol ... =24&page=1
There are some sites out there that do make them though. Here is one that is 50cm long for $19.99 plus shipping from modDIY.com.

Re: Internal USB 3 Header Cable
but isn't the USB 3 cables shielded for a reason? Thought the RF off the cables screw with things.

Re: Internal USB 3 Header Cable
No idea, maybe so. I'll find out when I get around to ordering that cable. Just seems weird that the internal cable is so heavy duty but the external ones are lightweight (yes I know internal = 2 connections, even one of the cables for internal is heavy duty though).
