USB 2.0 9-Pin Male to USB 3.0 20-Pin Female Low Profile (10cm) USB Cable (CAB387)

This 10 cm 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 low profile 20-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 helps when the USB 2.0 headers of a board are all taken, 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.

Low profile connector

The 20-pin connector is a slim low profile type, so it fits next to tall parts and under graphics cards where a bulky standard USB 3.0 plug would not. The round black cable is 10 cm long.
