Well it was 4, but I used 2 of them in an attempt to make a front port. That was successful, but I already had 2 front ports, and 2 more was excessive as I only use 1 front port at any time. So, the years went by, and I only had a total of 8 rear ports, 6 on the motherboard, and 2 on the slot bracket. I really needed 10. I had to get a 7 port hub and even that was filled up. So, there was a dire need for 2 more ports, and I couldn't fill that need. I had to do some cord swapping sometimes. It has been the lowest point of my life in a long time. I often cried myself to sleep over the shortage of USB ports I had in the back of my computer. Much time and concern was diverted to solving this. "How?", I would ask myself. It was a rhetorical question as I did not have an answer. So, upon browsing for a possible new motherboard, a solution presented itself. People who had purchased the board had also gotten something from a "Star Tech." My first though was this sounds expensive, and someone of my means really can't be squandering their income on something like this. I mean the little thumbnail looked like a 4 eyed robot head with 2 antennas...were the blue things on the end lasers? Fitting for something made by Star Tech, I thought to myself. Well, curiosity got the best of me, and I looked at the product...the price was too low for what I thought...how could something that sounds this cool be that cheap? So, I clicked it. I immediately saw the need I had for a device like this. No more swapping ports, at least for a while. So, I bought it...this was the only device of its type with Prime. It arrived 2 days later; desertcart did meet its contractual obligations there. It came in a anti-static bag...high tech indeed...fitting of the name of its creator...Star Tech! So, I removed it from its bag, got out a screwdriver, and put it in my computer. It fit right into the 2 ports on my motherboard...so now I have the maximum number of USB 2.0 ports my board can support fully enumerated with ports...twelve! As another dirty secret, I have 4 more USB 3.0 ports...so that's 16! Whoa. Anyway, this device accepted all my USB doodads just fine. The wires are of sufficient length...more than sufficient really...so no worries there. Anyway, this solved a large problem for me. If you have something like this and feel the need to make more front ports like I did...STOP. THINK. Do you need more ports or not? I only use it for a joystick and a flash drive...actually I got an extension cord and put the joystick in the back, because of the 2 extra ports I have there (thanks Star Tech!)...so only a flash drive. So...no need for more front ports. Recommended. Review: All Ports Work As Expected - All USB ports work at 2.0 spec as advertised. They even work in 9-pin hubs, which is excellent. The cables are fairly short. They're long enough if the adapter is installed in a lower PCI slot and connects directly to motherboard headers. If it is mounted in a top slot and needs to go around a GPU, or two in my case, they will not reach any headers nor adapters. Thankfully, extension cables are cheap. ## Features - 4x USB-A female ports - 2x IDC 10-pin Female connectors - Supports 4 or 5 pin motherboard connections - Separate cables supports 2 rows of 4/5 - USB V2.0 compliant - Four standard A-type USB outlets mounted on a plate with 11.25 inch (285.75mm) cable to the 5 pin connectors - Separate cables support a single row of 8/10 pins or 2 rows of 4/5 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,923 in USB Cables | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,185 Reviews | ## Product Details - **Brand:** StarTech.com - **Hardware Interface:** Unknown - **Item Weight:** 2.4 ounces - **Product Dimensions:** 11.3"L - **Style:** Music ## Images ![StarTech 4-Port USB 2.0 A Female Slot Plate Adapter, IDC (USBPLATE4) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61UF94edF7L.jpg) ![StarTech 4-Port USB 2.0 A Female Slot Plate Adapter, IDC (USBPLATE4) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31hNnoJWFML.jpg) ![StarTech 4-Port USB 2.0 A Female Slot Plate Adapter, IDC (USBPLATE4) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7154Oijy90L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Changed my life *by S***R on February 6, 2013* I had only had a 2 port bracket on the back of my computer.

They even work in 9-pin hubs, which is excellent. The cables are fairly short. They're long enough if the adapter is installed in a lower PCI slot and connects directly to motherboard headers. If it is mounted in a top slot and needs to go around a GPU, or two in my case, they will not reach any headers nor adapters. Thankfully, extension cables are cheap. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If your computer motherboard has extra USB headers, this is great! *by P***R on May 29, 2023* I was looking through various PCI-E x1 cards, looking for a way to add more USB processing power to my computer. Even though USB 3 and all its variations has now been around for several years, the bulk of what I have is USB 2.0. I have found some audio interfaces with USB 2.0 don't play nicely when mixed through a hub containing USB 2.0 and USB 3 devices. I was out of USB ports and one USB 3 hub is full I stumbled across this adapter, which sent me to the motherboard manual to see if there might be an unused USB connector on the motherboard. I actually discovered there are two. One was completely unused and the other was being used to bring one USB 2.0 port to the front panel. There was also a USB 3 port on the front panel, so I decided I could live without the second port on the front and connected the StarTech adapter to the two USB headers. Unlike some other reviews of this mentioned, the header pins were tight and solid. Upon power up, all 4 ports worked. If you have ever worked on a computer at all, installation is a no brainer. Some other reviews complained about the old school gray cable and I have to admit the adapter doesn't exactly blend in. My computer lives under my desk and is a tool, not a showpiece for me, so the non-matching colors in the box don't bother me. Your mileage may vary. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com 4 Port USB A Female Slot Plate Adapter - USB panel - 4 pin USB Type A (F) (USBPLATE4) - RIITOP 2 Ports USB 3.0 Female Back Panel to MB 20pin Header Connector Cable Adapter with PCI Slot Plate Bracket 1.5ft - GRAUGEAR 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 USB-C Front Panel Type-C Adapter, Motherboard Header Extension Cable, USB-C to USB3.2 Type-E Key-A 20-Pin Connector with PCIe Bracket, 23.6 in [G-AD-ETC-10G] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/5236617-startech-4-port-usb-2-0-a-female-slot-plate](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/5236617-startech-4-port-usb-2-0-a-female-slot-plate) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
