Front-panel adapter for USB 3.0 headers

This adapter cable connects a front-panel USB 3.0 19 or 20-pin male header to a motherboard USB 2.0 9 or 10-pin female header. It is intended for builders who need to use newer front-panel ports on boards that only provide the older internal connector.

Speed limited to USB 2.0 rates

The link operates at 480 Mbps, so any USB 3.0 device plugged into the front panel will run at USB 2.0 throughput. This provides enough bandwidth for keyboards, mice, optical drives or floppy-drive panels, but it cannot deliver the higher speeds a native USB 3.0 header would supply.

No USB 3.0 header required

The cable bridges the pin-count difference between the 19 or 20-pin front-panel connector and the 9 or 10-pin motherboard header. It does not add USB 3.0 signalling to a board that lacks the corresponding header, so systems needing full SuperSpeed performance must use a native USB 3.0 motherboard connection.
