I'm running unraid on that system which boots from a USB drive. I didn't want the USB stick to be tampered with from the exterior of the case and decided to use this so there USB stick could be concealed within the case. So far have I've been running with this attachment for a year with no issues. Would certainly recommend for anyone else that needs to have USB-A access within their case. Review: Another quality product - Startech has yet to ever disappoint me. I know cables are pretty basic but startech offers all sorts of cables. Particularly very short ones that help with cable management. This particular item works as advertised so far and seems well constructed just like anything else I've gotten from them over the years. ## Features - Connect internal USB devices directly to the motherboard header connection - Boot your OS from an internal USB 2.0 jump drive / great for customized embedded systems - Plug your USB flash drive directly to the motherboard for extra software security - Compatible with various USB 2.0 flash drives such as the Kingston Digital DataTraveler / SanDisk Cruzer / PNY Attache / Transcend JetFlash / Lexar JumpDrive and more ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000IV6S9S | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,037 in USB Cables | | Brand | StarTech.com | | Cable Length | 15 Centimeters | | Color | Gray | | Compatible Devices | PC | | Connector Type | IDC Motherboard Header), USB 2.0 Type-A (4 pin, 480Mbps) | | Current Rating | 1 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (877) | | Finish | Copper | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030816953 | | Item Dimensions | 4.72 x 0.59 x 8.66 inches | | Item Weight | 0.01 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | StarTech.com | | Model Number | USBMBADAPT | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | UPC | 065030816953 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Lifetime warranty | | Warranty Type | Lifetime | ## Product Details - **Color:** Gray - **Compatible Devices:** PC - **Connector Type:** IDC Motherboard Header), USB 2.0 Type-A (4 pin, 480Mbps) - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 4.72 x 0.59 x 8.66 inches - **Specific Uses For Product:** personal ## Images ![StarTech USB A to USB Motherboard 4-Pin Header F/F 2.0 Cable, 6" (USBMBADAPT) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51D1i6DhtaL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is the voltage output on the USB side?** A: Hi, This cable does not determine what the voltage is however USB controllers should be 5 volts.Let us know if you have any other questions.Thank you, StephaneCustomer SupportStarTech.com **Q: Will this work on a car stereo** A: USBMBADAPT will work on devices that have a 4 pin USB 2.0 header. It is not designed for anything beyond that. Brandon, StarTech.com Support **Q: Will this work on a car stereo?** A: Unlikely. Its designed to work in a computer with 4-pin connectors. Its unlikely a car stereo would have the 4-pin connector wired for USB. But, in the end, its just an adapter, its job is to turn a 4-pin USB to a conventional USB. **Q: Can you have 2 of these adapters in one usb 2.0 port** A: I'm sure the question is super clear, but if you have two spots on your motherboard for hooking up usb ports then you can use two of these. I know I did. It wont really spit into to though; it isn't a hub if that is what you are asking. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great to conceal USB sticks you don't want tampered with *by G***R on March 20, 2025* I have installed this dongle with no issues into my server build.

I know cables are pretty basic but startech offers all sorts of cables. Particularly very short ones that help with cable management. This particular item works as advertised so far and seems well constructed just like anything else I've gotten from them over the years. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect if you need it *by S***H on October 28, 2012* This little gizmo lets you use an external USB device inside your case. If that's what you want to do, it works like a charm! Why would you want to do that? In my setup, I built a FreeNAS box booting off a USB stick (with the real drives dedicated to network-shared storage). I could use one of the USB ports in the back just fine, but mounting it internally is a little slicker-looking, and means there's no risk of breaking my server because someone unplugged the stick to transfer some photos or something, or because it banged into something and got dislodged. Definitely a nice-to-have rather than a must-have, but it works well and I like it. (It helps that in my case, it reaches just far enough to let me slide the USB key into the racks on the case bottom which held the HDD slides; much better than hanging in air.) I did have to reseat it once after some major work inside the case; it wasn't visibly off the pins, but the system couldn't read the drive; a simple re-seat did it, but in a high vibration environment this would be a worry. (Or if you go to LAN parties a lot or something; you might want to secure it mechanically, or with a locking solution on the contact pins.) ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech USB A to USB Motherboard 4-Pin Header F/F 2.0 Cable, 6" (USBMBADAPT) - KOOBOOK 1Pcs 1.44MB 3.5" Floppy Drive Connector 34 PIN 34P to USB Cable Adapter PCB Board with Power Cable - SinLoon 9pin USB 2.0 Female Pin Dual 2 Port USB Motherboard Header Adapter-Dual Layer Type for PC (Dual) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/3673296-startech-usb-a-to-usb-motherboard-4-pin-header-f](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/3673296-startech-usb-a-to-usb-motherboard-4-pin-header-f) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
