Blue 0.5 m USB 3.0 20-pin header extension cable with two male and two female connectors and panel-mount screws

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 0.5 m USB 3.0 20-pin front panel header 2 male to 2 female extension cable

SKU CH-V8C9-RFYV0

Extends two motherboard USB 3.0 20-pin headers to front-panel ports with panel-mount screws for secure installation

  • Dual 20-pin headers expand front-panel USB ports
  • 5 Gbps USB 3.0 bandwidth speeds peripheral transfers
  • Panel-mount screws secure cable inside the case
  • 5 m length keeps internal routing tidy
  • Fits standard motherboard USB 3.0 20-pin headers

Dual-Port Front Panel Extension

This 0.5 m USB 3.0 cable extends a motherboard 20-pin header to two female ports, adding dual front-panel connectivity. It supports 5 Gbps data transfer for compatible peripherals and includes panel-mount screws for a fixed installation. The short length keeps internal wiring tidy in compact chassis.

Builders Needing Extra Front Ports

Suits PC builders adding or relocating USB 3.0 front-panel ports where the stock header cable is too short or missing. Not suited for external device connections, longer internal runs, or systems lacking a standard 20-pin USB 3.0 front-panel header on the motherboard.

0.5 m Internal Routing Length

The half-metre length dictates whether the cable reaches from your motherboard header to the front-panel cutout without strain. Measure the internal path in your case; if the distance exceeds this limit, the cable will not fit the build.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 0.5 m cable or a longer one for my case?

The 0.5 m length suits tight internal routing and front-panel header connections; choose a longer cable only if your motherboard header sits far from the front-panel cutout.

Will the 5 Gbps rating hold up when I plug in external SSDs?

The cable carries the full USB 3.0 5 Gbps bandwidth, so external SSDs and other high-speed peripherals run at their rated transfer speeds.

Does the 20-pin header work with every motherboard?

It fits the standard USB 3.0 20-pin front-panel header found on most desktop motherboards; verify your board has that exact header before installing.
