Aftermarket connectors.

[TryHardPajamas]

I am looking at supplies for doing some custom cables and in the process of doing so I have found some aftermarket connectors that are colored to match the sleeve, but they have wings that I think are unnecessary. I was wondering why are the wings there, are they for extensions. Also, who sells some good connectors that aren't black, don't have wings, and are not transparent.

A lot to ask for, but I appreciate it.

Here is a link with a connector with wings on the side. http://sleeve-modding.com/image/cache/data/CONNECTOR/CKX5559_12P_CKX5557_12R%20red_set-1000x666.jpg

 

here is another example of an extender with wings. http://www.moddiy.com/products/24%252dPin-Motherboard-Power-Male-Connector-%252d-Transparent-White.html

the wings are connectors. I would leave them be. they are too noticeable

The wings aren't needed. The hook on the top is what keeps the connectors together.

The wings are used in extensions to give some extra security to the connection

They aren't really needed and you shouldn't worry about them

If it bothers you, you can always cut them
