Two-Port USB 2.0 Slot-Plate Adapter

This low-profile bracket adds two external USB 2.0 Type-A ports to a small-form-factor PC. It connects to a motherboard header using two IDC-5 female connectors that accept both 4-pin and 5-pin internal USB headers. The assembly ships new and includes 11.25 inches of cable length for routing inside compact chassis.

Sustained Data Transfer at 480 Mbps

The adapter supports high-speed USB 2.0 signalling up to 480 Mbps across both ports simultaneously. Because the wiring is passive and unshielded beyond the factory cable, throughput remains stable only when the motherboard header supplies clean 5 V power and the total attached device draw stays within the header’s rated current limit.

Simple Header Installation With Common Pitfalls

Installation requires aligning the IDC-5 plugs to the motherboard’s USB header pin-out; reversing the connector or offsetting by one row will prevent device enumeration. The low-profile bracket fits standard expansion slots, but cable stiffness can strain the header if the motherboard layout forces a sharp bend near the rear I/O panel.

Questions about this item

Does the 11.25" cable add noticeable heat or noise inside a case running continuously?

The adapter is a passive cable with no active electronics, so it produces no heat or noise of its own.

What motherboard header must I already have free to connect the two IDC-5 plugs?

You need one or two standard 4- or 5-pin internal USB 2.0 headers on the motherboard.

Will the two USB 2.0 Type-A ports work reliably with older USB 1.1 peripherals I still use?

Yes, the ports are backward compatible and will run legacy devices at their native 1.1 speeds.
