The two non-essential (V- and V+) wires can be removed and the remaining (data) wires soldered to the adapter, resulting in perfect functionality and an appearance that is as close to immaculate as it is possible to get. The Molex part number for this cable is: 0151340403 If you are upgrading to a BCM94360CD or similar WiFi/BT card on your cMP, a perfect cable (black wires, 12" long with the appropriate PicoBlade connector) can be obtained from Digi-Key (Part # WM15259-ND) for about $3.61 as of this writing. I wanted a BlueTooth data cable that would fit perfectly and look as perfect as possible.Īfter an absurd amount of research (which, in the end, involved obtaining and comparing the design drawings for several connectors), I was able to determine that the BlueTooth header on the backplanes of classic 4,1 and 5,1 Mac Pros is a Molex PicoBlade 4-circuit, 1.25mm pitch header. And cables on the internet are often inadequately described, lacking in length and rainbow-colored. MaxMan69 (and others) - Unfortunately, there is a maze of conflicting opinions about the backplane's header and the housing most suitable (the incorrect JST GH is most often named).

(Still need to remove the gold keys in the connectors)īluetooth does not work, did I hook this up wrong? (Wi-Fi works) Next I removed the unnecessary 2 cables from the 4-pin cable, and spliced it to the power cable included with the adapter card. I put the Apple Card in the adapter, attached the two stock antenna cables to the card, then connected the extension cable to the bluetooth antenna cable. Mini-PCIe to BCM94360CD Adapter Version 3.0 (the version that has a two pin plug for USB power)Īpple BCM94360CD Card (AC Wi-Fi + BT 4.0)Ĥ-Pin male to male plug (the same plug used in the Bluetooth power cable) The only thing not working as expected is Bluetooth. If you are interested in what all took place you can see my prior post.Īs of now, I have done everything but OpenCore.
