Product Information
Full details
The Akasa USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 Internal Adapter Cable (AK-CBUB19-10BK) is designed for system builders and PC enthusiasts who need to connect modern front-panel cables or internal devices to older motherboard headers. This 10cm cable provides a seamless bridge between a 19-pin USB 3.0 connector and a 9-pin USB 2.0 motherboard header, ensuring your hardware remains functional during system upgrades or case swaps. While it offers essential compatibility, keep in mind that the connection will be limited to USB 2.0 data transfer speeds once adapted.

FAQs
Will this adapter allow me to reach USB 3.0 speeds?
No, because the signal is being converted to a 9-pin USB 2.0 header, the performance will be limited to the maximum speed of USB 2.0.
Can I use this for external devices?
No, this cable is specifically designed for internal motherboard header connections.
What is the total length of the cable?
The cable is 100mm (10cm) long.
Is this compatible with all motherboards?
It is compatible with any motherboard that features a standard internal 9-pin USB 2.0 header.
Does this require any software drivers?
No, this is a hardware-only adapter and functions transparently to your operating system.
Troubleshooting
Device connected through the adapter is not recognized
Ensure the 9-pin female connector is oriented correctly on the motherboard pins, as improper alignment can prevent data signal.
USB port has power but data transfer fails
Verify that your motherboard BIOS has internal USB ports enabled and check for any bent pins on the motherboard header.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Simple plug-and-play installation
- Helps reuse components in older motherboards
- Compact 10cm length avoids messy cable routing
- High-quality build typical of Akasa products
Cons
- Data transfer speeds are capped at USB 2.0 rates
- Not intended for high-bandwidth USB 3.0 requirements
- Limited to internal headers only
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply plug the 19-pin male connector into your device cable and attach the 9-pin female end to the available USB 2.0 header on your motherboard. Always ensure the system is completely powered down and the power supply is switched off before manipulating internal connections to avoid short circuits. Because this cable is short, avoid pulling tightly during installation; if the distance between your device and the motherboard header is greater than 10cm, ensure you do not put tension on the pins as this could lead to connector damage over time.
