Vszerda USB 20-pin to 2× USB 3.0 Type-A Male Cable 10 inch
Connects a 19-pin motherboard header to two USB 3.0 Type-A ports for front-panel expansion
- Adds two USB 3.0 ports via a 19-pin header
- Data transfer up to 5 Gbps with USB 3.0
- 10-inch cable fits tight chassis spaces
- Blue connectors for quick port identification
- Direct motherboard connection without using a PCI slot
Internal front-panel USB 3.0 adapter
This cable connects a motherboard 19-pin header to two USB 3.0 Type-A male plugs. It adds front-panel or accessory ports without occupying a PCI slot. Builders expanding a chassis with a multi-panel or card reader can use it directly.
Practical limits of the USB 3.0 interface
The link runs at the standard 5 Gbps signalling rate defined for USB 3.0. Real-world throughput will be lower due to protocol overhead and the host controller implementation. Cable length is fixed at 10 inch, so routing must stay within that reach.
Deciding specification — 19-pin header compatibility
The connector on the motherboard side is a 19-pin male header, not the 20-pin variant found on some older boards. Verify the header pin count before purchase; a mismatched header will prevent connection.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 10 inch length or a longer cable for my build?
The cable is 10 inch long; choose it if the motherboard header sits close to the front-panel cutout, otherwise measure the routing path and select a longer cable if the distance exceeds that length.
What does the 5 Gbps headline speed mean once the cable is installed?
The 5 Gbps figure is the USB 3.0 specification ceiling; real-world throughput will be lower and depends on the connected device, the motherboard controller and system load.
The cable uses a 19-pin header — what does that cap in practice?
The 19-pin header carries two USB 3.0 lanes, so the practical limit is two Type-A ports sharing the single 5 Gbps channel provided by the motherboard header.
