Internal Front Panel USB Connector

[pvictor]

I have a Lian-Li PC601 case with front panel USB (fabulous case, BTW). However, the cable from the USB ends in ten (10) (count them) single wire female plugs instead of one (1) 2x5 plug matching the USB header on the MB. This makes connecting the USB to the motherboard a real pain.

Does there exist a 'gender changer' connector with a plug on bottom (to attach to the MB) and pins on the top (to handle the single wires from the case front)? Either a connector or a short 10 wire female-male extension cable would work.

If so, what is a source?

I have looked in electronic parts stores here in Minnesota and on the web without success.

Thanks

Here's what I do, I install the wires in the correct position, then wrap them very tightly in tape! That way, it will go on and come off in one piece after that.

Another option is to pull the pins from each of the 10 1-pin headers, then remount all of the pins in a single two-row 10-pin header. http://www.action2k.com/molex.htm#Bls

The pins will dismount rather easily using one prong of a fine-tipped tweezer or a large-headed needle (if necessary).
