USB 2.0 to USB 3.0 Internal Adapter Cable (9pin to 19pin) (CAB137)

This short internal adapter lets you connect a case front panel with USB 3.0 ports to a motherboard that only has a USB 2.0 header free. The 9-pin female connector plugs onto the USB 2.0 header of the motherboard, and the 19-pin male connector takes the USB 3.0 plug of the front panel cable, so the front ports work again, at USB 2.0 speed.

USB 3.0 front panel on a USB 2.0 header

Older motherboards, and many boards whose USB 3.0 headers are already in use, still have free 9-pin USB 2.0 headers. This adapter makes the USB 3.0 front panel cable of a new case fit such a header.

Short and simple

The cable is short and black. The 19-pin end is a shrouded connector like the header of a motherboard, so the front panel plug fits on it the same way.
