USB-C to dual 9-pin header adapter
The Vszerda adapter converts a USB 3.1 Type-C host port into two USB 2.0 9-pin or 10-pin motherboard headers. It is designed for builders who need internal USB 2.0 connections from an external Type-C connector. The package includes the adapter, a cable and a small PCBA. It suits desktop systems where front-panel or internal USB 2.0 devices must be driven from a Type-C source.
Sustained 480 Mbps throughput with 500 mA per port
A USB 2.0 hub chipset inside the adapter limits each header to 480 Mbps, matching the USB 2.0 specification. The adapter supplies DC 5 V at 500 mA to each port continuously, so connected devices receive steady power during extended transfers. Because the link is bounded by USB 2.0 signalling, sustained loads do not exceed this rate and the hub does not negotiate higher speeds. Thermal behaviour is passive; the compact PCB has no active cooling and relies on chassis airflow.
Plug-in install with adhesive backing
The adapter plugs directly into a USB 3.1 Type-C port and the two 9-pin headers mate with standard motherboard connectors. Pre-applied glue on the back lets the PCBA stick to the motherboard or chassis, reducing cable strain in tight spaces. No drivers or extra power cables are required. Misalignment of the 9-pin or 10-pin header is the most common issue; pins must match the motherboard keying exactly or the connection will fail. The short tether cable limits routing flexibility in large cases.

Questions about this item
How much heat or power draw should I expect from the adapter when both 9-pin headers are running all day?
The adapter uses a USB 2.0 HUB chipset limited to 480Mbps and supplies DC 5v 500ma per port, so total draw stays at or below 1 A and heat remains minimal.
What must my motherboard already provide for this adapter to work?
You need a free USB 3.1 Type-C host port on the motherboard or front-panel header; the adapter plugs directly into that port and requires no extra power cable.
Will the two 9-pin headers work with older USB 2.0 front-panel cables I already have?
Yes, each header is a standard 9-pin USB 2.0 connector, so existing front-panel cables or 10-pin to 9-pin adapters will plug in and run at 480Mbps.
