LORDWORLD USB 3.0 19/20Pin Header to Dual 20Pin & Type-E Adapter Splitter 5Gbps SATA Power

SKU CH-N22N-JRP01

Splits a single motherboard USB 3.0 19/20-pin header into dual 20-pin and Type-E ports with SATA power for front-panel devices at 5 Gbps

  • 5 Gbps super-speed data transfer, ten times faster than USB 2.0
  • Converts a single 19/20-pin motherboard header into dual USB 3.0 20-pin and Type-E ports
  • Built-in SATA power connector supplies extra current for demanding front-panel devices
  • Compatible with most USB 3.0 20-pin and Type-E front panels, hubs and card readers
  • Plug-and-play installation lets you add two high-speed ports without opening the case

Front-panel USB 3.0 header splitter

This adapter converts a single motherboard USB 3.0 19/20-pin header into two outputs: one standard 20-pin header and one Type-E header. It is aimed at PC builders whose chassis front panel or accessory hub requires both connector styles from one internal port. The board includes a SATA power lead to supply the extra downstream ports. No drivers are needed; the device is passive and transparent to the operating system.

Thermals noise and power

The adapter draws its operating power from the included SATA connector rather than the motherboard header, keeping the host port within its rated current budget. No active cooling is present and the small PCB generates negligible heat inside a case. Because there are no moving parts, the unit adds zero acoustic noise to the build.

Upgrade context

The part replaces the need for a second motherboard header when a case provides both a legacy 20-pin front-panel cable and a newer Type-E cable. It is not suited for systems that lack a spare SATA power connector or for users who need more than two downstream USB 3.0 headers. Builders with only a single front-panel cable gain no benefit from the splitter.

Questions about this item

How do I install the LORDWORLD USB 3.0 19/20Pin Header adapter and which step do builders often get wrong?

Plug the single 19/20-pin connector into the motherboard USB 3.0 header, then attach the SATA power cable; the step often missed is connecting that SATA power so both output ports receive enough current for 5Gbps operation.

What maintenance or replacement will the LORDWORLD USB 3.0 19/20Pin Header adapter need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; if the SATA power lead or either 20-pin / Type-E port becomes loose or damaged, replace the whole adapter board.

What limit appears first on the LORDWORLD USB 3.0 19/20Pin Header adapter during sustained 5Gbps transfers?

The shared 5Gbps bandwidth from the single motherboard header is the first bottleneck; simultaneous heavy traffic on both output ports will throttle each link below peak speed.
