Clarification on S-gnd

Hello, 

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I had a question about the S-gnd pin on a usb 2.0 header. Do I need to connect it to something? If so what, I'm trying to design a front I/O panel with usb and need advice.

Had to google but only mention i could find this quick was this:
 


Black: GND / Voltage - / Ground
Black: S-GND / Over Current

The S-GND wire is fatter and can be easily recognized.

The shiedings of the 2 cables are shorted (connected) internally and converged into one S-GND wire. The connection of S-GND wire to the header pin is optional.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!

So I don't need to connect the S-GND to the header.

If that site is correct, then yes you don't have to.

 

Also i know USB2 is jsut 2 power wires and 2 signal wires. 4 in total. To make it work...
