Description

StarTech USBPLATELP 2-Port USB A Female Low Profile Slot Plate Adapter

Overview

The StarTech USBPLATELP provides a clean, internal solution for adding two USB 2.0 Type-A female ports to a computer system. This low-profile slot plate adapter connects to an available 5-pin IDC motherboard header, allowing you to easily integrate additional USB connectivity for internal devices or front-panel expansions without occupying external chassis space. It's designed for PC and server builds where internal port access is required, such as for diagnostic tools, internal USB drives, or specific hardware modules. The USBPLATELP model is specifically designed for low-profile chassis, ensuring compatibility with compact system builds.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any motherboard featuring a 5-pin IDC USB 2.0 header. It is suitable for integration into standard PC and server motherboards, including those found in workstations, rackmount servers, and compact form-factor systems. The 480 Mbps data transfer rate aligns with USB 2.0 specifications, making it suitable for devices that do not require USB 3.0 or higher speeds.

Installation Notes

The adapter requires a free 5-pin IDC motherboard header. Ensure correct pin orientation before connecting to avoid damage. The operating temperature range is -20°C to 60°C ( -4°F to 140°F), and storage temperature is -10°C to 30°C (14°F to 86°F). Humidity should be maintained between 30%-75% RH.
