# JST VH - Motor Power

Motor Power connections on the Control Hub ([REV-31-1595](https://www.revrobotics.com/rev-31-1595/))  use the JST VH style connector.  This connector is keyed and locking with a small latch, seen below, which must be depressed to release the cable.

REV Robotics recommends, in most cases, that teams use pre-made cables because crimp quality is better when made using industrial tooling. These cables can be purchased directly from the [REV Robotics website](/duo-control/control-system-overview/cables-and-connectors/jst-vh-motor-power.md#premade-jst-vh-cables-and-accessories) or through other online vendors.
