Delock 82976 Low-profile Slot Bracket: IDC 20-pin Male to 2 x USB 3.0 Type-A Female, 0.4 Meter, Blue

The Delock 82976 is a low-profile slot bracket that adds two external USB ports to a desktop computer. It connects to an internal motherboard header to provide two ports at the rear of the PC case. The bracket uses an internal 20-pin connector to interface directly with the motherboard’s USB 3.0 header. It supports data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbit/s, allowing external hard drives and flash storage to operate at their full rated speed. This configuration provides two additional Type-A connections without requiring a PCIe slot.

The low-profile design is suitable for compact PC cases. The two female USB 3.0 Type-A ports are mounted horizontally on the metal bracket. The total weight of the assembly, including the shielded cable and bracket, is 100 g. Ensure your motherboard has an available 20-pin USB 3.0 header before installation. No external power supply is needed, as the ports draw power directly from the motherboard. The blue internal cable indicates the USB 3.0 standard.

• 0.4 m integrated cable for connecting motherboard headers to rear slots.
• Male 20-pin IDC internal connector for standard 19-pin or 20-pin motherboard sockets.
• Two female Type-A ports for connecting two USB peripherals to the rear of the system.
• USB 3.0 support, backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 hardware.
• Direct-to-header connection; no PCIe controller required, reducing system overhead.
• Driver-free operation; functions as a passive pass-through cable recognised by the operating system.
