Most motherboards have several USB header connectors built in. These are 10-pin con-
nectors supporting two USB ports. Normally your motherboard includes a USB header
cable with external connectors mounted on a bracket, but if you need extras, companies
such as MonoPrice and Cables To Go sell header cables that are compatible with standard
USB header pins.
Figure 14.8
shows a typical USB header cable set.
