USB 3.0 20-pin header adapter

This adapter converts a USB 3.0 20-pin motherboard header into a USB 2.0 8-pin male connector. It enables a USB 2.0 device to plug into a newer header. The cable measures four inches in length and is coloured black. Data transfers run at 480 megabits per second.

For legacy front-panel ports

Builders with a modern motherboard that only provides USB 3.0 headers can use this to run an older front-panel USB 2.0 connector. It does not upgrade the device to USB 3.0 speeds. Anyone needing full USB 3.0 throughput from a native 20-pin device should look elsewhere.

Fits tight header spacing

The short four-inch tail keeps routing tidy inside compact cases and leaves adjacent headers accessible. No extra power connection is required beyond the header itself. It simply bridges the pin-out difference so the existing USB 2.0 port functions immediately.
