Extensions done, ready for the next two builds I have planned. Pins 2 and 3 jumped to ensure data continuity. Now just waiting for my 4p black ribbon wire to arrive from Amazon and then I can start soldering up some custom length ARGB strips that will be able to plug directly in to the hubs. I prefer to solder them vs splicing into the wiring that comes pre-attached as I have learned over the years that it's best to have a direct contact and avoid splicing as every splice is a potential point of failure. Plus it keeps everything nice and clean in appearance. DevBiker, thanks again for your writeup on diy extensions and your tip on jumping the correct pins.

Thanks DevBiker, much appreciated. I had picked up the lighting node pro (3 pin connection) that comes with an RGB hub that can be connected which is 4 pin. Also with some fans I recently bought for a build I'm getting ready to start had a 6 port 4 pin RGB hub included that just goes to SATA and a USB 2.0 header. What got me started on this is I have far more ports than I have Corsair strips and have plenty of room for my fans with room to spare for add ons. So going through my inventory of ARGB strips I keep on hand for other projects got me to looking into utilizing some of the leftover ports to add some flair to the fresh build. I appreciate the clarification on jumping the pins. Figured I'd rather ask than ruin any of my controllers inadvertently. When you say not jumping them would be bad, would that be frying the controller bad or just termination of data sync at the last port used? Thanks again and enjoy your weekend!

Hello all, this is my first post on the forums. New member but longtime lurker and avid Corsair user with a bit of a background in engineering. In reading the linked post, which is fantastic btw and gave me the necessary information to order the correct parts so I can make my own adapters and extension cables, I was quite impressed with the thoroughness of DevBiker who I assume has dismantled some of the Corsair iCue devices (in the name of science, of course) Thanks for an excellent description DevBiker, well written for sure. I am however, needing a slight bit of clarification on one matter however, when making an adapter cable that goes from the 4 pin Corsair (plugged into commander core pro) to a 3 pin ARGB where pin 3 is left empty, if I'm reading correctly by jumping pins 2 and 3 at the Corsair locking molex plug I can achieve data synchronization for the following commander core pro outputs? Thanks in advance for the clarification.
