USB Header question

Hi all,

 

Quick question.  I currently have a case with front USB 3.0 ports, currently plugged into the only USB 3.0 header on my MB (Asus Z-97 A).  I'm looking into buying an internal memory card reader, and the majority have additional USB 3.0 ports.  Is there any cable to split the header on the motherboard off into two headers, one for the onboard case ports, and one for the card reader ports?

 

Thanks for your help.

I may have misunderstood what you're after, but is it something like this?

Edit: I just looked at the other images and didn't realise It split into USB, I thought It split into 2 headers. Still looking for something....
