90 degree usb 2.0(Where To Find) [SOLVED]

[OpenLooper]

Hey guys,

Im just looking for an internal usb 2.0 90 degree adapter that faces downward. I CANT FIND ANY! there are hundreds for 3.0 but the only ONE I found for usb 2.0 is angled upward.

like this: https://www.moddiy.com/products/USB-2.0-9-Pin-90°-Angled-Internal-Header-Connector-2.54mm-Dupont.html

Anyone know where to find one?

And anyone have any ideas on why there are so many 90 adapters for 3.0 and NONE for 2.0?


EDIT:

BinarySynapse found it - https://www.peconnectors.com/female...bdman3YosCSsiU-YbVy5LYJvR5nEMU2waAjtKEALw_wcB

Thank you!

Probably because everything is USB 3.0 or newer now. I couldn't find any either.

Aren't they backwards compatible, mate?

Not the motherboard headers. Different number of pins and the pin pitch and shape of the header is also different between 2.0 and 3.0 / 3.1.

That gives me any idea, since the 2.0 pins are part of the 3.0 connector. Can use a 90 degree 3.0, to a short 3.0-->2.0 "adapter" (or breakout), and get the 2.0 header pins that way. Convoluted, but would still work. Though probably eating a perfectly good 3.0 header (unless if the MB has several).

I'm just wondering why one would need such an adapter, not to say I disagree or anything just plain curious.

ah thats a valid question. This is my pc, I have a usb 2.0 hub in the back and it has this thick sleeved cable that plugs into the mobo. As you can see it sticks out a lot(same with mobo headers and 3.0) Im looking for 90 degree adapters for all 3(I got the 3.0 and the mobo header one already). If I put a 60mm rad at the bottom my connectors will be really tight and or over the fan also I think it will look cleaner with all 90.

Well the only thing I can see that might be of some help would be a smaller extension cable that would be easier to route like https://www.alzashop.com/akasa-inte...-length-40-cm-d5676072.htm?layoutAutoChange=1

Some like this might work as long as you were careful with orientation.

I was thinking the same thing as a worst case also looking at the design and seeing most usb 2.0 cables are like that I guess it makes since why there aren't any 90 usb 2.0 adapters.
