The plate can be mounted on the rear panel of a computer case, adding two USB A female ports for simple connection to USB peripheral devices.

I failed to count female pins as I wanted to order female 9 pin connector. These are 5 pin horizontal and unusable.

Mein Mainboard hat auf der Rückblende nativ keine reinen USB-2.0-Ports vorhanden, alles nur USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbit/s), Gen 2 (10 Gbit/s) und Gen 2x2 (20 Gbit/s). Da aber so manches USB-2.0-Gerät Probleme an den neueren USB-Revisionen haben können (bei mir froren regelmäßig die Tastatur und Maus ein), mussten native USB-2.0-Ports auf die Rückseite her.Da ich noch intern einen freien USB-2.0-Header für zwei Anschlüsse frei hatte, fiel mir die Wahl auf dieses Slotblech, da bei mir dort noch Platz ist und Startech eine bewährte Marke ist.Wie von Startech gewohnt ist die Verarbeitung sauber und die USB-Anschlüsse mehr als solide ausgeführt. Die Installation war sehr einfach und schnell erledigt. Daran hängen jetzt meine Maus und Tastatur und bislang gab es keine Freezes.Zur Polarität: Standard ist das rote Kabel links am Pfostenstecker des Mainboards anzuschließen. Im Zweifel besser das Handbuch des Mainboards zu Rate ziehen.

Used in restoring vintage boxes/systems-expanding available USB slots. StarTech is really good stuff. I keep it stocked in my "parts dep't."

Fa debitamente il suo lavoro. La qualità è buona e se si volesse fare un pochino di modding (come dipingere la staffa), si smonta senza problemi e si rimonta.In alcuni casi, i cavi potrebbero risultare un po' corti.

It does what it's supposed to do. 5 stars for me.

My motherboard had more onboard USB ports than the case had built in. I ended up using this to give me more USB ports from the back of the case. 1 2 3 easy install and voila more USB ports. Very mice

Worked perfectly to make those pesky internal USB headers usable as external ports.

Fantastic 2port USB 2.0 back plate for the NZXT S340 case. I needed this to install Windows appropriately due to this particular case only having USB 3.0 ports and no optical drive ports. Plugged this into my motherboard and I had Windows installed in just moments. Works great!

quick and easy to install. Added a 7 port USB PC Board to drive some ports on the front of the case. This item let me utilize the last two ports on the board.

This is a perfectly satisfactory and simple piece of kit, which does exactly what it is supposed to do (Provide a USB socket on the back of a computer, by connecting to the USB connectors on the motherboard).One thing that threw me initially though was that its two connectors each had five pin-sockets, not four, the fifth being an additional earth connector. (with a black wire). This does not matter, and actually turns out to be quite helpful. The USB connectors on the motherboard often in my experience go in pairs, one with a row of 5 pins and the other with a row of 4. The end of the rows where a pin in one row has a blank space opposite it in the other is the earth end, so it it much easier to be sure that the connection you are making is the right way round.

Motherboards like my Biostar have multiple USB 2.0 connections (usually 2 USB ports for the front panel and an unused USB connection with 2 more ports just sitting there.) Here's an easy way to add a couple USB 2.0 ports to the back panel without using a mobo card slot.

UPDATE: I bought another one of these in August, 2011. It came (correctly) pinned as:Pin1-RedPin2-WhitePin3-GreenPin4-BlackPin5-BlackI guess the first one was just a one-in-a-zillion dud. I threw the first one away.ORIGINAL REVIEW: Ok. Your computer motherboard has an unused 2x5 male-pinned header that serves up two USB ports. [Those are usually there in case you happen to have internal devices that expect to be powered, controlled and/or configured as USB devices.]And your normal-height computer case has an unused slot in the back.Who can't use more external USB ports, right? So plop down the $8 + s/h get this thing.The wires are short. I measured them at exactly 7.5" from base of the USB port to the very end of the wire header. Since the USB Ports actually sit an inch or more above the mobo, in practical terms, you're not going to get much more than 5 inches of reach. If you need an 12" extension cable, look at item cab-167 vended at FrozenCPU. Even the wire color is a match.There WAS a catch. The female end of this gizmo that plugs into the motherboard was mis-pinned. Swap the pins into the correct location and you're good-2-go.On the motherboard, the CORRECT pinout for a single USB internal header is:Pin1, Red, +5v (Power)Pin2, White, USB- (Data)Pin3, Green, USB+ (Data)Pin4, Black, GroundPin5, Void (OR an optional, heavier-gauge black wire for SGND, Signal Ground)I rec'd this gizmo pinned asPin1-RedPin2-VOIDPin3-WhitePin4-GreenPin5-BlackI had to carefully move the female pins around to correct this.Use the smallest jeweler's (or eyeglass repair) flat-tip screwdriver you can find. Gently and ever-so-slightly lift the small restraining flap in the plastic terminator--the end to lift is found at the lower edge of the little open square that reveals a part of the pin. The pin should slide/drop right out. Then slide the pin into the correct slot. The pin will click in place behind the restraining flap. Don't bust the flap off or ... well, you know.While this fix is simple enough, you can be sure that thousands of customers created immense amounts of costs and work for the manufacturer and vendors when they simply returned these things after finding the USB ports didn't work.As such, you can also be sure that somewhere, in some distant part of the world, the worker who built tens of thousands of these incorrectly -- a worker whose only job description was "insert Pin1 as red, Pin2 as white, ..." -- has now returned to a career in agriculture.
