Fervit USB 2.0 Type-A to Motherboard 9/10-Pin Header Cable 20cm
Connects a USB 2.0 Type-A device to a motherboard 9/10-pin header with a 20 cm braided cable for 480 Mbps data and power
- Connects peripherals to a 9/10-pin motherboard header
- Delivers 480Mbps USB 2.0 data transfer speed
- 20cm length with tangle-free braided sleeve for durability
- Only pins 6–10 active — pins 1–5 have no connection
- Fits any USB 2.0 header on the mainboard
Purpose and audience
This 20 cm cable adds a single USB 2.0 Type-A port to a desktop by plugging into a motherboard 9-pin or 10-pin header. It suits builders who need an extra front-panel or internal connection for peripherals such as card readers, dongles or charging devices. The woven braid sleeve protects the conductors during routing and long-term use.
Compatibility check
Verify that your motherboard has a spare USB 2.0 header with the standard 9-pin or 10-pin layout before ordering. Only the Pin6 to Pin10 side of the header carries signals; Pin1 to Pin5 are not connected on this cable. The link operates at 480 Mbps and supplies both power and data, so the header must be a powered USB 2.0 type.
Build integration
The short 20 cm length keeps cable clutter low inside compact cases and reduces signal degradation. The male Type-A connector accepts any standard USB 2.0 peripheral, while the header plug fits directly onto the board without an adapter. The braided jacket resists snagging on other components and frees up space for airflow around the motherboard.

Questions about this item
What connectors does the Fervit USB 2.0 cable include and is anything else needed?
The cable has a male Type-A plug on one end and a 9/10-pin motherboard header on the other. No extra parts are required to connect a front-panel USB port.
Which header layout should I choose for my motherboard?
The plug fits both 9-pin and 10-pin USB 2.0 headers; only the Pin6-Pin10 side carries signals, so align that side with your board's keyed header.
What does the 480 Mbps rating mean for real-world file transfers?
It is the USB 2.0 theoretical maximum; actual speeds are lower due to protocol overhead and the connected device's performance.
