Gembird CC-U3U2-01 Internal USB 2.0 to USB 3.0 Header Cable

The Gembird CC-U3U2-01 is a cheap, simple adapter cable that lets you use USB 3.0 devices through the older USB 2.0 pin header on your motherboard. It's a great deal if you want to add a connection without replacing the board.

Put a spare header to work

• 9-pin USB 2.0 to 19-pin USB 3.0: links the two internal header types with a single cable.
• Uses the USB 2.0 header on your motherboard: connect USB 3.0 devices without needing a USB 3.0 header.
• Data transfer up to 480 Mb/s: the speed of the USB 2.0 standard, which is enough for everyday peripherals and file transfers.
• Internal cable: stays inside the PC case, so nothing extra clutters your desk.

Choose it if your PC case has front USB 3.0 ports but your motherboard only has a USB 2.0 header. It's a practical, low-cost fix for older desktop builds and upgrades.
