The "Goodney" ATX 5V to LED Switcher PSU Cable 1 meter

For those people who are not so technically inclined then you can purchase one on this thread or from https://www.eyeboot.com

It was designed and created so that a simple 60A 5V LED switcher power supply (like the one in the picture below) could be used to power the Eyeboot 49 Port USB hub and thus the cable only uses the 5V pins on the ATX. The benefit of using this to power the hub is simply because Meanwell PSUs are so cheap and can supply in excess of 1 - 1.5 Amps of power to each port on the hub.

Eyeboot 49 Port USB Hub

The cable has been tested successfully with the Eyeboot 49 port hub so I know it can be used safely with that hub. However I have no idea how it will react with other 5V devices so be warned. I am not responsible if it melts your substandard hub that is not capable of taking such a large amount of power.


It uses pins 3,4,5,6,7,15,17,18,19,21,22,23 and 24 on the ATX head.
