USB 2.0 9-Pin 1-to-2 Splitter Cable – Motherboard Adapter
USB 2.0 9-Pin 1-to-2 Splitter Extension Cable for PC Motherboard
Expand your motherboard's USB 2.0 header capacity with this compact Y-shaped 9-pin splitter cable. Designed for PC builders and upgraders, this adapter converts one internal USB 2.0 9-pin header into two, giving you the extra connectivity you need without any case modifications.
⚠ Important Note: The two split interfaces cannot transmit data simultaneously. One port handles full USB 2.0 data transfer, while the second port provides 5V power for charging devices (e.g., smartphones) only — it cannot transfer data concurrently.
Made in Mainland China.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can both USB 2.0 ports on this splitter transfer data at the same time?
A: No — the two output ports cannot transmit data simultaneously. One port provides full USB 2.0 data transfer functionality, while the second port supplies 5V power for charging devices such as smartphones. If simultaneous data transfer is needed, a dedicated USB hub with its own power source is recommended.
Q: Will this USB 9-pin splitter cable fit my motherboard?
A: This cable is designed for standard USB 2.0 internal 9-pin headers found on the vast majority of ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards. The anti-mismatch blocking-hole design ensures it can only be connected in the correct orientation, making installation straightforward.
Q: How long is the USB 9-pin splitter cable?
A: The cable has a branch wire length of approximately 13 cm, with a total Y-shaped overall length of approximately 17 cm — compact enough to route neatly inside most PC cases.
Q: Is this cable safe for repeated use?
A: Yes. The connector features a re-adhesive reinforced molding design that mimics integrated construction, making it durable enough for multiple plug and unplug cycles over the product's lifetime.
