This is great for anyone who needs more USB ports and that has two free headers on their motherboard. Even if you only have one plug you could still use this bracket and have 2 additional USB ports.

why dont computers have these pre-installed its the cheapest easiest way to add more usbs to a system without increasing the cosst of production. i used to have a few of these but the popularity ofd them makes them hard to come by or hold on to.

I used this along with a usb port expander to add more usb to a system that really needed it. Works great and very simple

Great way to add USB ports, I bought this and it works on my ASUS M4A78 Pro (Should work on other ASUS boards, which I plan to do). I actually bought a USB PCI card then I found this one, ASUS sells something similar but shipping from the USA is a no-no. You have a media card reader and front panel USB ports, now you can add back panel ports - and not have dangling wires in the front of your case. I plan to cut up my case and mount this w/o the PCI bracket, that should take care of the "wasted" pci/pci-e expansion slot.Comes in a bag, thats it. The cables are about 14" and are shielded except for about 1" from the usb header - which does allow it to be insert  into the motherboard easily. They are about as thick as any other USB cable.

this is exactly what I needed ... how many motherboard have you had that just don't come with these anymore... now I can use the max amount of usb ports that my motherbord has

Comment:
with 14" cables that are neatly zip-tied, and adding 4 new USBs to my computer, this is a great and CHEAP way to add USBs. Worked right out of the box with no problems. Cables are slightly stiff, but that might just be because I put sleeving on them

Comment:
this is a better buy than a pci card because you can plug a keyboard mouse into it and it'll work on boot-up and not have a keyboard not detected error

My Asus M2N-E supports 10 USB ports but came with 4 in the back. What in the heck... I installed both front USB ports on my case and I was left with 4 unusable ones until I got this bracket.Now I can use all 10 (I use 8 sheesh!)

Comment:
This is useful if you have 3 internal USB headers (1 for the front and 2 for the back). In the future this may not be needed as the trend seems to be to include more USB ports on the IO shield rather than having more internal USB headers.

Wanted more USB ports, on UBS ports on case. Used these to connect to the extra 2 USB headers on the mobo and works great. I matched the pinouts before connecting to the ASUS mobo and no pins need to me moved (which can be done with easy if need be) should work with any 9-pin USB header.

Comment:
Needed this to utilize an open usb header on my mobo, gives me a couple more ports (only had one header open) and the price is right too.

I wanted to use the extra 2 USB headers on my EVGA Mobo and this works great. I tried finding out if EVGA had any but they didn't. As far as I can tell this is a strai pin out and should work with any 9-pin USB header, even better, it takes 2 USB 9-pin headers for 4 more extrnal ports.
