Hey guys, just built my first pc and while plugin in the front panel cables (Meshify 2 Compact) i noticed the one for Power LED - was missing its plastic shielding (the part that has the labeling on it), it was just metal. Is this a fire hazard or any hazard at all? Thanks for any help, i couldnt find anything about this anyhwere!

Unlikely, its very low voltage, however it could short another part of the front IO and for example cause the computer to think you'd pushed reset. If it worries you just put some electrical tape around it or leave it unplugged.
