USB 3.0 front panel splitter

This chenyang adapter converts a single motherboard 19/20-pin USB 3.0 header into two standard USB Type-A female ports. The 20 cm cable brings front-panel connectivity to cases where the header is far from the front I/O cutout. Copper conductors support the full 5 Gb/s USB 3.0 signalling rate. The tangle-free jacket keeps routing tidy inside the chassis.

Builders adding front USB 3.0 ports

Suitable for system integrators and DIY builders whose motherboard provides only one 20-pin header but whose case has two front-panel USB 3.0 ports. Not suited for installations that require screw-mount retention on the header side. Not suited for builds needing longer reach than 20 cm between header and front panel. Not suited for converting newer 19-pin Type-E keyed headers without verifying pin compatibility first.

19/20-pin header to dual Type-A

The decisive specification is the single 19/20-pin male header that splits to two USB 3.0 Type-A female connectors. This pin count and gender arrangement must match the motherboard header and the case front-panel cables exactly. If the board uses a different header keying or the case cables terminate in a different connector, the adapter will not fit.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a 19/20-pin USB 3.0 header to plug this splitter in?

Yes, the male end is a 19/20-pin USB 3.0 header that connects directly to the motherboard header.

Will this work with an older motherboard that only has a 10-pin USB 2.0 front-panel header?

No, the 19/20-pin male connector is keyed for USB 3.0 headers and will not fit a 10-pin USB 2.0 header.

How can I verify the splitter is running at USB 3.0 speed after I connect it?

Plug a USB 3.0 flash drive into one female port and check that the transfer rate reaches the 5 Gbps rating.
