A Device-Side USB Connection at the Panel
USB 3.0 Type B Panel Mount Cable for Enclosure Integration
Bring a compatible device-side USB connection to an accessible position on your enclosure. BC-DAB001 connects a USB 3.0 Standard-B female panel socket to a Standard-B male plug, giving equipment builders a practical way to route the internal connection without leaving the device port buried inside the housing.
The listed 0.5 m assembly is a starting point for compact installations. Share the panel opening, fixing-hole spacing, and internal cable route so we can review the connector arrangement before you make or modify the enclosure.

This is a passive panel extension, not a hub or signal repeater. It does not add a new host port or convert USB protocols. The internal male plug requires a compatible USB 3.0 Standard-B receptacle; it will not fit a USB 2.0-only Standard-B socket. For that smaller interface, see our USB 2.0 Type-B panel-mount cable.
Bring the Connection Within Easy Reach
An enclosure should not make a routine USB connection difficult to reach. A fixed Type-B socket provides a defined connection point outside the housing, while the short internal lead connects to the compatible device.
Choose the connector arrangement around the space you actually have. A straight internal plug may suit an open cable path; an angled option can help route the lead around nearby parts. Neither choice should force a tight bend against the molded housing.
Send a marked-up photo or panel drawing with your inquiry. We can review the proposed mounting pattern, cable exit, and required length together so the sample fits your build, not just looks similar.
Request the drawing for the exact housing and orientation under consideration. Share your enclosure constraints with the inquiry so the proposed mounting arrangement can be reviewed before sample approval or panel production.
Confirm the included hardware in the quotation. Panel material, thickness, and access can change the appropriate fixing arrangement, so please do not assume that one screw set suits every enclosure.
Yes, ask for a sample quotation with your preferred length and connector arrangement. Sample availability, cost, and freight are confirmed for the requested configuration. Use the sample to check both mechanical fit and operation in your equipment.
Keep the approved drawing revision, sample reference, length, and housing orientation with your purchasing record. Include these details on repeat inquiries, especially if your project uses more than one mounting pattern or cable route.
Design the Panel Connection Before Cutting the Enclosure
A panel cable is a small part of the build, but its dimensions affect the enclosure, internal layout, and service procedure. Agreeing on those details early can save a second round of metalwork or a cable that only fits with the cover removed.
Start with the mounting drawing
Do not treat every Type-B panel housing as mechanically identical. The product gallery includes different mounting arrangements; select one drawing for your order rather than combining dimensions from several images. Confirm the cutout, fixing-hole centers, screw specification, and usable panel thickness. A connector photo helps identify the family but is not a substitute for a production drawing.
Plan the inside and outside together
Allow space for the external mating plug as well as the internal molded housing and cable bend. Check whether the cable route crosses a fan, hinge, or removable assembly. If an angled version is needed, mark the exit direction on a view of the installed port. Words such as up or left can be ambiguous when two people view the connector from opposite sides.
Budget for the complete USB link
The external cable and this internal extension work as one connection. Additional length and mating interfaces affect the signal path; the 5 Gbps interface designation is not a guarantee for any combination of cables. Evaluate the complete host-to-device arrangement with the chosen lengths and peripherals. A suitable USB 3.0 A-to-B cable can form the external connection from a compatible USB-A host.
Separate mounting from environmental protection
Fixing a socket to a panel does not automatically make the assembly waterproof, vibration-qualified or suitable for medical use. Tell us about exposure, operating conditions and documentation requirements. Include any sealing, material, or qualification requirements in the agreed specification rather than inferring them from the panel-mount format.
Check a sample in the finished housing
Test insertion access, fastener fit, and the internal route with the cover closed. Run the functions your equipment actually uses, then check disconnection and reconnection. For routine maintenance, decide how you’ll access the internal plug and fixing screws; replacing the complete assembly may require opening the enclosure.
Send your panel drawing, host and device models, target length, and order quantity. We can review the practical details and quote an assembly for evaluation before a production order.
