Review on πŸ”Œ StarTech.com USBPLATE4 - 4 Port USB A Female Slot Plate Adapter - USB panel - 4 pin USB Type A (F) by Brian Malith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Case color would be a plus

This product works as intended. The cable could have been used about 1/2 inch more. Whenever I manage to get my hands on a decent, full-size PCIe graphics card, I have to do a little creative routing to get the card around this thing's cables. That being said, my only complaint is that it doesn't come in black, otherwise I would have bought it in black to blend in with the rest of my suitcase. I got around the color issue somewhat by wrapping the wire braid and heat shrink tubing around the wires so that only the terminal block and the minimum length of wires are sticking out. It would be nice to have white or black options; I don't think anyone uses/buys ivory cases (or whatever they're called). If your motherboard and/or case doesn't have enough USB 2.0 ports, I definitely recommend getting one for your wireless keyboard/mouse, as USB 3.0 is a little slow on these peripherals that just can't be repaired stupid is device driver.

Pros
  • USB V2.0 compliant
Cons
  • Basically OK, but...
