TGOOD 9pin USB Header Male 1 to 2 Female Extension Splitter Cable Connector Adapter (Male 1 to 2 Female)

Works well

It is 2020. Motherboard manufacturers should include this part by default. Over the last two decades I have built well over 500 PC rigs. I have utilized hundreds of M-ATX, E-ATX, ATX, (etc) cases from numerous vendors and very rarely does the case possess a single USB connection to the motherboard, most come with 2 or 3. I recently built a gaming rig for a giveaway on my Twitch stream. I utilized the Thermaltake P3 wall mountable case. This case came with *TWO* USB headers to connect to the motherboard. Again, most motherboards possess a single USB header for front panel IO. I did not want to send this to some lucky winner with only 2 out of 4 USB ports working on the front of the Thermaltake case. The included photos are the rig upon assembly and right before shipping. I purchased this 9pin USB Header Male 1 to 2 Female Extension Splitter Cable Connector Adapter to solve my problem. This adapter simply splits the header into two and allows you to connect all of your case's front panel USB headers. This does not require any driver installs to work. You plug it in and it is quickly recognized by your OS. It comes with double sided tape on the back of the adapter so you can install it inside your case and place it in a safe location. I appreciate the price on this item and the overall usefulness. I would recommend this to anyone building a PC rig.

I bought a PCI WiFi card for my desktop that included Bluetooth, but in order to use BT you have to connect the card to an internal USB header. Since my Lenovo M93 had no free internal USB headers I had the choice to disconnect my front panel USB ports or not use the BT function of the card. Enter option 3. The TGOOD 9 pin USB splitter worked perfectly. letting me connect the BT functionality on the card and giving me back my 2 front USB 2 ports. To install it I used the method another review suggested. I shut down the PC and connected the splitter board and booted up and let it be detected. After it finished installing I shut down again and connected the front USB port cable and booted. Then I shut down and connected the BT cable to the WiFi card and booted back up and everything worked. I can now use my front USB ports for charging and data transfer and my BT works great. IMPORTANT: This paragraph is what I did, if you try this without understanding it you may fry your computer. Lenovo, and several other manufacturers, use 11 pin USB headers and this is clearly listed as a 9 pin splitter, it works fine for me on my 11 pin USB header. Lenovo uses these 2 pins for GPIO detect and I just omitted connecting the pins altogether. They are for presence detection and it turned they were unnecessary in my configuration but in some cases not having them connected can cause the USB ports to disable themselves after the system boots. Jumpering the 2 pins can resolve that. If none of this makes sense, don't fry your computer listening to me, but for people wondering if this will work on an 11 pin header, it works great in my case. The included pictures show what is described above in case it is not clear, use at your own risk and enjoy! I definitely recommend this TGOOD USB 2.0 splitter.

Very handy device for adding additional usb port. works well. Took off a star because the adhesive was a bit flimpsy

A lot of people on this listing are saying this product doesn't work, but that might have more to do with the things they're hooking up to this splitter rather than the splitter itself, because mine worked just fine. I used this to split my board's USB 2.0 Header between my front panel ports and my wifi card. The wifi card requires a USB 2.0 header because of the bluetooth capabilities. I shoved the splitter down near my PSU and weaved the cables through the back. Works fine for me! The front panels are completely working as well as the bluetooth on the wifi card. Great, inexpensive product.

Bought this because I needed an extra header for a wifi/bluetooth card. My motherboard only had two headers and one was taken up by the CPU cooler, the other the front USB. I would follow advice from other reviewers - don't share your CPU cooler header if at all possible. Install was simple - I followed the steps posted by others. Install the adapter to motherboard but don't put anything on the adapter, then restart, wait for windows to load, then shut down and install your two USB headers on the adapter and restart again. Others have said that the power is too low for bluetooth. I have not encountered that yet - I tested with several pairs of earbuds/headphones and an XBox controller and had no issues. Remains to be seen if power issues will pop up after time - I have only had this installed for a few days. It's fragile so be careful where you drop it or shove it. I have room underneath the PSU shroud so I just tucked it in there. For the ten bucks I paid, it more than does the job. Recommended.

Worked as expected

I've spent many hours trying to make this thing work but to no avail. I bought this to split the motherboard's USB 2.0 header to enable NZXT's Hue LED lights within the H510i case along with a WiFi/Bluetooth PCIe extension card (from Asus). TLDR: If you're trying to split your USB header for simply a power connection this might work but the data connection is highly unreliable. Overall, save your money and time, don't bother with this device. I plugged in everything right and booted up and it actually worked fine but once my computer goes to sleep and wakes up again, Windows makes the chime to inform that a USB device got unplugged. Now, it's possible to go into device manager within Windows or use a program called 'UsbTreeView' to disable and enable this USB Hub and that allows the devices to be recognized again. I also disabled 'USB selective suspend' within Windows' power management options and went into Device Manager to select each of the USB devices as well as the USB Hub and turn off their individual power management option by unticking 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to to save power'. However, none of this fixes anything!! Once the computer sleeps and then wakes up, this USB Hub gets disconnected from Windows. The NZXT Hue LED system still shows up under UsbTreeView but the WiFi/Bluetooth device disappears and renders Bluetooth unusable. Thus, this leads me to believe that this Hub is flawed because it looses data connectivity to the devices connected to it but is good enough to provide power to them.
