What are the metal tabs that are coming out of these usb connectors?
For these USB 3 cables - the ones that go from the motherboard 19 pin connector to the front IO of the chassis - I found some online that have these small metal tabs on them. What are they? Also many of the listings for these cables contain something about 'fixed feet' - what does that mean? For example, 19Pin/20Pin Female Header to Dual USB 3.0 Front Panel Desktop Motherboard Mount Cable Cord with Fixed Feet 60CM USB3.0 data cable front chassis panel cable 20 Pin to A female 19 Pin to Type-C with fixed pin card board DIY modified chassis
