Add front-panel USB 3.0 ports

This adapter converts a motherboard 20-pin header into two Type-A male plugs, adding USB 3.0 ports without occupying a PCI slot. It is built for PC builders who want extra front-panel connectivity for card readers or multi-function panels. The 10-inch cable reaches most front-panel headers in standard chassis layouts. Data transfer runs at up to 5 Gbps under the USB 3.0 specification.

Check header and clearance

Verify that your motherboard provides a 19-pin or 20-pin USB 3.0 front-panel header before ordering. Ensure the 10-inch length can span the distance from that header to the intended mounting point without strain. Confirm the case front panel has two free Type-A cut-outs or a multi-panel bracket that accepts both male plugs. The blue connectors are keyed, so orientation is fixed during installation.

Two ports from one header

The Y-splitter design delivers two separate USB 3.0 Type-A male connectors from a single internal header, doubling the usable ports for external devices. Environmental-protection wiring is used for the 25 cm cable run. No additional drivers or software are required; the adapter is passive and compliant with the USB 3.0 specification.

Questions about this item

Does the 10 inch cable include both 20 pin and 19 pin motherboard headers or do I need a separate bracket?

The adapter provides a 19 pin male motherboard header that plugs directly into a 20 pin USB 3.0 header on the board; no extra bracket is required.

Should I choose the 10 inch length or a longer version for a full tower case?

The 10 inch / 25 cm length is the only size offered for this model; measure from your motherboard header to the front panel cutout to confirm reach.

Will the 5Gbps rating be achieved when two card readers are used at once?

The 5Gbps bandwidth is shared between the two Type A male ports, so simultaneous transfers divide the available throughput.
