Help making for Alternative USB connection for LK202-24-USB

Hi everyone. Hope Henry or any other knowledgeable person can help me here.

I want to make (rather have a shop make) a cable to connect the LK202-24-USB alternative usb header to my motherboards usb header. I'm not even sure how to discribe what I need to someone or what the cable would be called.

I'm using an Asus A7V266-E w/ VIA KT266A Chipset
There are 2 USB headers I believe:

1 USB Power
- USBP2-
- USBP2+
- GND
5 NC

AND

6 USB Power
- USBP3-
- USBP3+
- GND
10 <blank>


According to the Manual for the LK202-24-USB

the pins are:

1 +5v
2 D-
3 D+
4 Not Used
5 Ground

What exactly do I need to tell the person making the cable? Or what do I need to connect - aka, which pings from my mobo to which on the LK202

I assume its pin 1 on mobo to pin 1 on LK202, pin2 to pin2, etc?

Or is it more like USB Power to +5v, USBP2- to D-, USBP2+ to D+, NC to Not Used, and GND to Ground?

Also, do the specific connectors and wires themselves matter (aka, will I need to tell the cable maker to use a specific type of connector or wire?) or does it only matter which pin ends up connected with which pin?

Thanks for any help guys!
