USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 Internal Adapter Cable - 19pin to 9pin (CAB304)

This short internal adapter connects a USB 2.0 device or front panel cable with a 9-pin plug to a USB 3.0 header on the motherboard. The 19-pin female connector plugs onto the USB 3.0 header, and the 9-pin male end takes the 9-pin USB 2.0 plug. It is the fix when the USB 2.0 headers of a board are all taken or the board has none left, but a USB 3.0 header is free.

USB 2.0 on a USB 3.0 header

A USB 3.0 header also carries the USB 2.0 lines, and this adapter brings them out on a standard 9-pin USB 2.0 connector. Use it for case front panels with USB 2.0 ports, internal card readers, AIO coolers, fan and lighting controllers or other devices with a 9-pin USB plug.

Short and simple

The cable is short and black, with a label marked "USB3.0 TO USB2.0", so it adds little clutter next to the header.
