Internal USB 3.0 header splitter

This ETopSell cable converts a single 19/20 pin USB 3.0 motherboard header into two female headers using a 1-to-2 Y splitter design. It supports 5 Gbps data rates and full-duplex signalling over a 5.9 inch flat ribbon cable. The adapter is intended for internal DIY builds that need extra front-panel USB 3.0 ports.

Motherboard header fit and clearance

Verify that your motherboard has a standard 19/20 pin USB 3.0 header and enough space around it for the double male connector. The supplier notes the motherboard-end connector can be loose on some boards because header dimensions vary slightly. This cable is explicitly not compatible with the Corsair iCUE 7000X case.

Adds a second front-panel USB 3.0 port

The splitter upgrades a single header so two front-panel USB 3.0 connectors can run simultaneously, which is useful for SLI configurations or builds with multiple front-panel ports. The jump is worth it when your board only provides one internal USB 3.0 header but the case or add-on bracket requires two. Builders needing more than two headers or a longer reach will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

What does the ETopSell USB 3.0 19/20 pin Y splitter cable include, and is any extra hardware needed?

The package contains the single splitter cable with a double 19/20 pin male plug for the motherboard and one 19/20 pin female header. No additional cables or adapters are required for installation.

How do I decide between the 19 pin and 20 pin versions of this internal USB 3.0 splitter?

This cable uses a combined 19/20 pin connector that fits both header layouts found on current motherboards, so there is no separate version to choose.

What does the 5 Gbps rating mean when the cable is installed inside a PC?

The 5 Gbps figure is the USB 3.0 maximum signalling rate; actual throughput depends on the motherboard controller, connected devices and system load, but the flat ribbon design helps maintain signal integrity for stable transfers.
