How to connect two devices with a female 20 pin connector to the MOBO 20 pin USB 3.0

[crezam]

Hi all:
My case has a front panel with 2 USB 3.0 ports (have a 20 pin connector out of the box) that I connect to the mobo 20 pin connector.
Now I want to add an internal card reader that connects also to the same MOBO USB 3.0 connector.
I'm not able to find a Y cable that duplicates the MOBO USB 20 connector. Is this even possible?
THanks

Is this what you want: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812400316 Only thing I have seen that may be applicable, not sure if it has the right ports or not.

no you cant do that as the connections are 1 half of the header to 1 port.

there are splitter cables but they dont work how you want them to and will only feed 1 port on one devices and 1 port on another as the splitter just seperates the top and bottom port feeds.

you are going to need something like this to use both http://www.amazon.com/Syba-SD-PEX20122-Port-Header-PCI-E/dp/B007X26S8Q/ref=pd_cp_pc_0

How does my example not do that?

*edit* Ahh I see, re-read his description, does he want 2 20-pins headers from one? I don't know of anything like that. *edit*

The do make a hader to two usb3 port adapter, from there you can plug in a usb3 to male header cable. This will effectively split the internal header into two 20 pin single headers. Plugging your Front panel header connector into one will only leave with one working FP usb3 port.

with a pair of these plugged in:

if he used those rather than a usb3 card with a dedicated header he will only have half his usb 3 ports working since each port is 1 to 1 with half of the header, you cant split the signal on a header without using a hub.
