StarTech USBMBADAPT2 2-Port USB Motherboard Header Adapter
Overview
The StarTech USBMBADAPT2 allows you to add two standard USB 2.0 Type-A ports to a motherboard's internal 10-pin IDC header. This adapter is critical for systems where internal USB ports are needed for devices like card readers, front-panel USB hubs, or specific surveillance hardware that requires a direct motherboard connection, especially in custom builds or when existing headers are occupied. The USBMBADAPT2 provides a straightforward solution for expanding internal USB connectivity without requiring an external bracket.
Compatibility
This adapter is designed to connect to a standard 10-pin (IDC) motherboard header, commonly found on most ATX, Micro-ATX, and ITX motherboards. It provides two 4-pin USB 2.0 Type-A connectors, supporting data transfer rates up to 480Mbps. It is compatible with any operating system that supports USB 2.0 devices, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Installation Notes
The adapter operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F). Storage temperature range is 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F). It requires a non-condensing humidity environment between 10% and 90% RH. The compact dimensions (1.5 in x 1.3 in x 0.8 in) and low weight (0.3 oz) ensure easy integration without adding significant bulk to the motherboard assembly.
