Genuine Dell OEM Ribbon Cable for Alienware 17 R2

This genuine Dell OEM ribbon cable connects the USB and audio I/O board to the motherboard inside compatible Alienware laptops. It is supplied new and matches the part shown in the product images. The component is designed specifically for Alienware 17 R2 and Alienware 17 R3 models. It restores the link between the motherboard and the side-panel ports.

Dell Part Numbers DC02C009G00 and AAP20_IO_CABLE

The cable carries Dell part number DC02C009G00 and alternate reference AAP20_IO_CABLE, which are the identifiers that confirm fitment. Only laptops listed as Alienware 17 R2 or Alienware 17 R3 are supported by this part number. Builders working on other Dell or Alienware chassis cannot use this cable. Verifying the part number on the original cable is essential before ordering.

Restores USB and Audio Port Connectivity on Two

The ribbon handles the data and signal paths for the USB and audio ports on the supported 17-inch models. It provides the required connections for both the R2 and R3 revisions without modification. The part does not extend compatibility to any other laptop series or form factor. If the original cable is damaged on a different model, a separate part will be needed.
