Vszerda USB 2.0 9-Pin Splitter 1-in-2 17.6 cm

SKU CH-1A0J-VN7D4

A USB 2.0 9-pin motherboard header splitter turns one internal connector into two gold-plated ports for devices such as NZXT coolers and LED controllers, supports 480 Mbit/s transfer rates.

  • Converts one USB 2.0 9-pin header into two for extra devices
  • Gold-plated 2.54 mm pitch connectors deliver up to 480 Mbit/s data rate
  • 6 cm braided cable is flexible and pull-resistant for tidy routing
  • Anti-misplug design ensures correct insertion every time
  • Works with Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, XP, Mac OS X, Linux and Chrome OS

What this splitter does

The Vszerda USB 2.0 9-Pin Splitter turns a single motherboard header into two 9-pin connectors so builders can run multiple internal USB devices such as NZXT water coolers LED lighting or graphics card displays from one port. It is aimed at PC assemblers and upgraders who need extra internal USB 2.0 connections without adding a controller card. The 17.6 cm braided cable reaches most header locations in standard chassis layouts.

Thermals noise and power

Passive wiring adds no active components so the adapter generates no heat and makes no noise beyond the devices attached to it. Power draw is limited to whatever the connected peripherals request within the USB 2.0 specification of 480 Mbit/s bandwidth. Gold-plated contacts and the anti-misinsertion keying keep resistance low and prevent bent pins during repeated mating cycles.

When the upgrade makes sense

The splitter replaces makeshift header sharing or the need for a PCIe USB add-in card when only one 9-pin header is free on the motherboard. It is worth fitting when two internal USB 2.0 devices must run simultaneously and the board lacks a second native header. Builders who need more than two additional ports or who require USB 3.0 speeds should look elsewhere because this cable only duplicates a single USB 2.0 channel.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 17.6 cm splitter on a motherboard USB 2.0 9-pin header and what is the common mistake?

Align the keyed 2.54 mm pitch plug with the header notch, press straight down until seated, then connect two devices; the common mistake is forcing the connector upside-down which bends pins.

What maintenance or replacement will the gold-plated 9-pin plugs and braided cable need over time?

The gold plating resists oxidation so no routine cleaning is required; inspect the braided sleeve for fraying after repeated unplugging and replace the splitter if any pin feels loose.

What limit appears first when both ports run at 480 Mbit/s simultaneously under sustained load?

The single motherboard USB 2.0 channel shares 480 Mbit/s bandwidth between the two ports, so combined throughput caps at that rate and latency rises when both devices are active.
