TeKit USB 3.0 20-Pin Header to Dual USB-A Female Cable 50cm Blue

SKU CH-YDTZ-VS249

Adds two panel-mount USB 3.0 Type-A ports to a 20-pin motherboard header with a 50 cm shielded copper cable

  • Connection typeUSB 3.0 Internal Motherboard Header 20pin to Dual USB 3.0 Fe
  • Cable length1.64 ft (0.5m)
  • Connector count3
  • Connector detailsUSB 3.0 Internal Motherboard Header 20pin to Dual USB 3.0 Fe
  • Connector genderFemale to Female
  • Conductor typeCopper Conductor
  • Adds two panel-mount USB 3.0 Type-A ports from a single 20-pin motherboard header
  • 50 cm blue cable reaches front-panel or drive-bay cut-outs with slack
  • Shielded copper conductors protect 3.0 signal integrity over the full length
  • Female-to-female design accepts standard USB-A plugs without gender changers
  • Screw-mount flanges secure each port against vibration and accidental unplugging

Front-panel USB 3.0 expansion

This cable converts a single 20-pin motherboard header into two panel-mount USB 3.0 Type-A ports, adding front or rear I/O without occupying a PCIe slot. The 50 cm length suits compact builds and rack-mount cases where the header sits close to the cut-out. Shielded copper conductors preserve signal integrity for boot drives, authentication tokens or high-speed peripherals.

Sustained transfer stability

Shielded copper conductors and a direct header-to-port layout keep USB 3.0 signalling clean during long file moves or continuous device enumeration. The fixed 50 cm run avoids the signal degradation that longer, unshielded extensions can introduce under heavy load. Both ports share the single header bandwidth, so simultaneous maximum-throughput transfers will divide the available 5 Gbps between them.

Replaces front-panel USB 2.0 headers

Builders upgrading cases that only offer legacy front-panel connectors gain native 5 Gbps ports without adding an internal hub card. The panel-mount screws provide a secure fit that loose bracket adapters cannot match. Not suited for systems lacking a spare 20-pin USB 3.0 header or for users who need more than two additional ports.

Questions about this item

Does the 20-pin header cable generate noticeable heat or draw extra power when left connected all day?

The cable is a passive copper conductor with shielding and no active electronics, so it adds no measurable heat or power draw during continuous use.

What must my motherboard already have for this 20-pin header to work?

Your motherboard needs an available internal USB 3.0 20-pin header; the cable plugs directly into that header and provides two panel-mount USB-A ports.

Will this 50 cm cable work reliably with older USB 2.0 devices I still use?

Yes, the USB 3.0 header and ports are backward compatible, so USB 2.0 drives or peripherals will function normally through the two female ports.
