Restore Port Connectivity with a Genuine Asus I/O FFC Cable

What Is an Asus I/O FFC Cable?

The Asus I/O FFC cable is a flat ribbon cable that connects your laptop’s I/O board—containing USB, HDMI, audio, or USB‑C ports—to the motherboard. It transmits data and power signals to external peripherals and ensures that devices plugged into your laptop function reliably. A damaged or disconnected cable can lead to unresponsive ports, audio dropouts, or charging issues.

5. Supports secure, high-speed data transfer.
