USB 2 header splitter

[pstarlord]

*Please move if in wrong spot*

 

My mobo has two USB 2 headers on it, and I need one more internal USB port.  I could have sworn that I've seen some sort of internal splitter, or maybe even a magnetic USB Hub somewhere, but I can't remember where. 

 

I've got an AIO that takes one USB 2 port.  I've also got the NZXT Smart Device and an NZXT Hue 2 RGB Controller.  Currently, I have the AIO pump fan, and two case fans running off fan headers on the mobo, but I do actually like how easy the CAM software is that integrates nicely with the NZXT controllers.  

 

Thanks!

Search something like usb header splitter in Amazon or something.  Maybe add the keyword internal.  You'll get a bunch of options.

All you need is a couple of  5 pin USB IDC Female to male cable (couple bucks on ebay).

 

Each usb header on your mobo is x2 usb ports, you've got 4 usb ports just buy a breakout cable.

That's my dilemma, I can't find a breakout cable.  I already have the cables themselves needed to connected the devices.

also found these, use 2 to turn a 9 pin header into 2. don't worry about the extra pin, its unused.

I just bought the NZXT Hub.  That will integrate nicely with the rest of my stuff too.
