The StarTech.com USBPLATELP is a low-profile slot-plate adapter that adds two USB 2.0 Type-A ports to a compatible motherboard USB header, making it suitable for small-form-factor or thin-client PC builds that need rear USB connections.
Recommended For
- Small-form-factor or thin-client PC owners who have an available USB 2.0 motherboard header and want two accessible rear USB-A ports.
- PC builders or repair technicians who need to route an unused internal USB 2.0 header to the rear of a compact case for connecting USB peripherals.
- Users of older desktop PCs who need rear USB-A connections for basic USB 2.0 devices, such as a keyboard, mouse, or flash drive.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- In a small-form-factor or thin-client PC with limited rear connectivity, mount the bracket in a low-profile slot to make two motherboard USB ports accessible from the back of the case.
- When a compatible USB 2.0 motherboard header is free but the case or rear I/O lacks convenient ports, route that header to the back of the PC for two additional USB connections.
- For a desktop that needs rear connections for everyday USB peripherals such as a keyboard, mouse, or printer, use the bracket to provide standard USB-A sockets without adding a USB expansion card.
- During a PC build or retrofit, use an unused internal USB 2.0 header to add accessible rear ports; the result depends on having a compatible free header and an available low-profile case slot.
