USB adapter Akyga AK-CA-28 USB 2.0/3.0 gray for universal chassis Width 160 mm Depth 40 mm Height 10 mm
Akyga AK-CA-28 is a gray internal USB adapter designed for installation in universal chassis openings with dimensions 160 × 40 × 10 mm. Made of durable ABS material, the adapter enables adding a front-panel USB port or adapting an internal chassis opening so that an external device can be connected to the motherboard even if a 20-pin USB 3.0 header is not available. The unit supports USB 3.0 physical form factor while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 signalling when connected to a standard USB 2.0 header.
The adapter provides a simple mechanical and electrical solution to mount a USB port in a computer case where a native USB 3.0 motherboard header is absent. Its compact dimensions fit standard universal chassis cutouts and the ABS construction offers reliable rigidity and lightweight handling. Compatibility with both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 environments ensures flexible use across older and newer systems, and the product is supplied as a single unit for straightforward installation.
Install the adapter into the chassis opening sized for the unit (160 × 40 × 10 mm) and secure it according to the case design. Connect the adapter cable to an available internal USB 2.0 header on the motherboard; when a 20-pin USB 3.0 connector is not present, the adapter will operate using USB 2.0 signalling and provide a functional front-panel USB port. Verify cable routing to avoid interference with fans or other components and ensure connectors are fully seated before powering on the system.
Use the adapter when you need a front-facing USB connection but your motherboard lacks a USB 3.0 20-pin header. For optimal performance, connect to a proper internal header and avoid forcing incompatible connectors. The adapter is intended for data and standard USB power levels consistent with USB 2.0 operation; for bandwidth-sensitive devices, use a native USB 3.0 header where available.
