Add an easy access USB 2.0 port to your computer with this header cable. The USB connector features screws to secure the port in place, preventing the port from becoming lose and interfering with connected devices.

The 36-inch cabling is a great length to connect to the motherboard. It enables users to place the port where it best suits their needs in the system case without worrying about constraints.

The cable features two female ports; a USB type A and a 5-pin header connector. The USB A connector runs hi-speeds of 480Mbps and is designed to be placed at the rear of a PC. The 5-pin female panel mount connector attaches to the motherboard, providing power and enabling data transfer.

This cable is a great solution for wanting additional USB ports to connect bootable thumb drives or authentication fobs.

A USB header on a motherboard is a group of pins ready for specific header connections. They provide the option for additional USB ports to be attached to a computer’s chassis.

Some desktops have as many as six USB ports already built in with room for attaching additional ports via a header cable. The number of headers depends on the motherboard in the computer. To find this out, check the motherboard documentation to find the location of the headers, then open the system to see how they are being used and if there are opportunities to connect additional header cables.
