Front-panel USB 3.0 hub for 5.25-inch bay

This cable kit adds a four-port USB 3.0 hub to a standard 5.25-inch front drive bay. It connects to the motherboard via a 20-pin internal header and uses a GL3520 chipset to manage traffic. The assembly suits desktop builders who want convenient front access to multiple USB peripherals without occupying rear ports.

Check motherboard header and bay space

Verify that your motherboard provides a spare 20-pin USB 3.0 header before ordering. The hub requires a free 5.25-inch bay, so confirm your chassis has one available and that no other device already occupies the slot. No additional software drivers are needed for the USB 3.0, 2.0 or 1.1 modes listed.

Passive operation within USB power limits

The hub draws power directly from the motherboard header and delivers up to 900 mA per port under the USB 3.0 specification. With no onboard fan or active cooling, thermal output stays low during typical file-transfer workloads. Acoustic noise is effectively zero because the unit contains no moving parts.

Questions about this item

Does the BUCIER 20Pin cable kit include the 5.25 inch front-panel hub, or must I buy the bay device separately?

The cable connects a motherboard 20Pin header to a 5.25 inch USB 3.0 hub with four ports that mounts in a CD-ROM bay; the hub itself is not included.

Which version should I choose if my motherboard has a 20Pin USB 3.0 header and I need four front ports?

This single model uses a GL3520 chipset to deliver four USB 3.0 ports from one 20Pin header, so no other version or capacity option exists.

What does the 5 Gbps Super-Speed rating mean when the hub is installed in my PC?

Each of the four ports can transfer up to 5 Gbps and supply 900 mA, while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps and USB 1.1 at 1.5 Mbps.
