What this cable adds

The EN-Labs PCIU320P2AFBK converts a single motherboard 20-pin USB 3.0 header into two external Type A ports mounted on a full-profile PCI bracket. It is intended for builders who want front-panel or rear-panel USB 3.0 connections without running cables outside the case.

Installation notes

The bracket screws into a standard rear expansion slot and the 1.64 ft cable reaches the internal header. The 20-pin connector is keyed; forcing it the wrong way round is the most common error and can bend pins. No drivers are required because the motherboard handles the USB 3.0 signalling.

USB 3.0 practical limits

The link operates at up to 5 Gbps, so actual throughput depends on the attached devices and the motherboard controller. The 0.50 m cable length limits placement to the rear panel area; longer runs would need an active extender. Only two Type A ports are provided, so additional headers or a hub are necessary for more connections.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 20-pin header is delivering 5 Gbps after I install the bracket?

Connect a USB 3.0 flash drive to one of the Type A ports, run a benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark, and verify sequential read and write speeds approach 5 Gbps.

What comes in the box and what must I supply to add two rear USB 3.0 ports?

The package includes the 1.64 ft 20-pin to dual Type A cable and a full-profile PCI slot bracket; you must provide a motherboard with a 20-pin USB 3.0 header and a free full-height expansion slot.

Should I choose the 1.64 ft cable or a longer version for a full-tower case?

Only the 1.64 ft (0.50 m) length is offered, so measure the distance from your 20-pin header to the rear bracket before ordering.
