USB 3.0 header adapter for PC builders
This EN-Labs cable converts a single motherboard 20-pin USB 3.0 header into two external Type-A ports. It suits system integrators and enthusiasts adding front-panel or rear-I/O connectivity to custom chassis. The 50 cm length fits standard ATX and micro-ATX layouts without excess slack. No driver installation is required on modern operating systems.
Passive design runs silent and cool
The adapter draws power directly from the motherboard header, adding negligible load to the 5 V rail. With no active components or fan, it produces zero audible noise and no measurable heat during sustained 5 Gbps transfers. The 18-inch blue cable uses standard gauge wiring rated for the USB 3.0 specification. Thermals remain identical to a native port.
PCI bracket secures both ports
A metal rear bracket is included so the two Type-A connectors can be mounted in a standard expansion-slot cutout. This provides strain relief and a clean, fixed position for frequent device swaps. The bracket uses standard screw spacing compatible with typical case rear panels. No additional screws or software utilities are supplied.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 20-pin header adapter cable with the PCI bracket?
Connect the 20-pin IDC header to the motherboard USB 3.0 connector, then secure the metal bracket to a rear expansion slot using a case screw. The 18 inch cable reaches most ATX boards.
What maintenance will the dual USB 3.0 Type A female ports need?
No scheduled maintenance is required. If a port becomes loose or damaged, the entire adapter cable must be replaced as the ports are not serviceable.
What limit appears first during sustained 5Gbps transfers?
The 50cm cable length and passive design mean signal integrity at 5Gbps is the first constraint under continuous high-throughput use.
