This USB port (Mini-B type) panel extension makes the USB port accessible directly on the panel, rather than needing to open the enclosure to reach the controller or indicator's built-in USB connector. With a 30cm extension, it provides a mini-B type USB socket to fix on the panel, complete with a rubber-cap protector to keep dust and moisture out when not in use.
