USB 1.0 bracket - will it do USB 2.0 ?

[LordBritish]

I have this USB 1.0 bracket from an old motherboard

I was wondering if this is compatible with USB 2.0 devices?

What I mean is, will my USB 2.0 devices work at USB 2.0 speeds with this bracket or will I be limited to USB 1.0 speeds ?

Furthermore, there is only one motherboard connector and 2 USB ports. Does that mean that if both USB ports are running at top speed that my overall speed per port will be half the maximum? I noticed that some USB brackets have 2 ports and 2 connectors.

It should work fine. There is no physical difference between the USB1.1 and USB2 brackets.

The logo sticker on the bracket appears to be a USB Hi-Speed logo (hi-speed is USB 2.0), so it may actually be a 2.0 bracket (or the logo could have just been put on there). There's really no way to know how it will work unless it is tried, but the bracket is just wires and connectores, so unless it's made cheaply and with cross talk between the wires, theres a chance any USB bracket could support 2.0.

Each USB connector on the motherboard is designed to support 2 ports, so you won't be limited by that.

QFT and as someone else noted, that bracket has the USB 2.0 HS logo.

I have the exact same bracket on my Biostar 6100-939 (USB 2)... works fine...
