StarTech USBPLATE 2 PORT USB A SLOT PLATE ADAPTER
Overview
The StarTech USBPLATE adapter provides a straightforward method to add two USB 2.0 Type-A ports to a desktop computer or server. This is particularly useful for systems that lack sufficient front-panel USB ports or require specific internal connections for peripherals. The adapter connects to an internal 5-pin motherboard header, effectively extending USB connectivity to an accessible slot plate. This model, USBPLATE, is designed for deployments where simple, reliable USB expansion is needed without complex driver installations.
Compatibility
This adapter is compatible with any motherboard featuring a standard 5-pin USB 2.0 header. It supports USB 2.0 data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps, providing connectivity for devices such as external hard drives, flash drives, webcams, and other USB peripherals. It is designed for use within a standard PC or server chassis, utilizing an available expansion slot for the external port placement.
Installation Notes
Installation involves connecting the 5-pin IDC connector from the adapter to the corresponding USB header on the motherboard. The adapter then mounts to an available expansion slot bracket on the computer case. Ensure the motherboard header is correctly oriented to avoid damage. The cable length is 11.2 inches (28.6 cm), providing sufficient reach within most standard ATX or smaller form factor cases.
