Overview

The Plurono Motherboard USB 2.0 Header Splitter 9-Pin 1-to-3 Female Extension Cable is a practical accessory designed to expand a single 9-pin USB 2.0 header into three independent ports. As modern PC builds increasingly incorporate liquid cooling pumps, RGB LED controllers, and fan speed testing devices, the limited number of USB 2.0 headers on motherboards often becomes a bottleneck. This splitter offers a cost-effective solution without requiring a motherboard upgrade. Constructed from durable ABS plastic and metal connectors, the splitter is built to withstand long-term use. Its compact board measures approximately 5.5×2.5×1cm, making it easy to fit into tight spaces within the chassis. Its sleek black finish blends seamlessly with most PC builds. The splitter connects directly to a standard 9-pin USB 2.0 header on the motherboard and provides three separate 9-pin female ports. This allows users to connect multiple USB 2.0 devices simultaneously, simplifying cable management and reducing clutter.

Key Features

1-to-3 Port Multiplier Design: Converts one motherboard USB 2.0 header into three independent ports, enabling connection of liquid cooling pumps, for example, a liquid cooling pump, an RGB controller, and a fan hub all at once. High-Quality Materials: Uses ABS plastic and metal connectors for enhanced durability and resistance to wear, reducing the risk of connection failures over time. Compact Dimensions (5.5×2.5×1cm): The small footprint fits easily in cramped cases, making it ideal for Mini-ITX builds or any scenario where space is at a premium. Wide Compatibility: Works with any motherboard that have a standard 9-pin USB 2.0 header. Compatible with liquid cooling systems, RGB LED strips, fan controllers, and other USB 2.0 peripherals. * Plug and Play: No drivers or additional configuration required. Simply plug the male end into the motherboard header and connect your devices to the three female ports.

Compatibility Guide

This splitter is designed for motherboards with a standard 9-pin USB 2.0 header (pinout: VCC, D-, D+, GND in two rows). It is compatible with ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX form factors. The splitter is designed for USB 2.0 devices only; USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 devices will not function correctly when connected through this adapter. Power delivery is limited by the motherboard's header current capacity (typically 500mA per port typically). Connecting multiple high-power devices (e.g., pumps, RGB controllers) may exceed this limit, so check your motherboard's specifications. The cable length is approximately 20cm, which is suitable for routing to nearby devices.

Product Info

The Plurono USB 2.0 Header Splitter is available on with a price around 1,000 JPY. It is sold by Dousilaiwan and typically includes a 30-day return policy. Key specifications: Connector: 1x 9-pin USB 2.0 male (motherboard side), 3x 9-pin USB 2.0 female (device side) Material: ABS plastic, metal connectors Color: Black Board dimensions: approx. 5.5×2.5×1cm Cable length: approx. 20cm Standard: USB USB 2.0 (up to 480Mbps

Best Use Cases

PC Building Beginners: If you find yourself short on USB 2.0 headers during your first build, this splitter provides an easy fix without needing to change your motherboard. Water Cooling / RGB Enthusiasts: Ideal for connecting multiple USB 2.0 devices like pump controllers, RGB hubs, and fan speed monitors from a single header, keeping cables organized. * Small Form Factor Builds: In Mini-ITX or compact cases where motherboard headers are limited, this splitter expands connectivity without taking up extra space.

Things to Consider

This splitter is USB 2.0 only; it cannot be used with USB 3.0 or higher devices. Be mindful of the current limit of your motherboard's USB 2.0 header. Connecting too many power-hungry devices may cause overheating or damage. The splitter does not increase bandwidth; all three ports share the same USB 2.0 channel, so it is not suitable for high-data-rate devices like capture cards. Compared to 1-to-2 or 1-to-4 splitters, the 1-to-3 version offers a good balance. If you need more than three additional ports, consider a powered USB hub instead.
