NZXT Releases Third Generation Internal USB Hub

Uskompuf · Dec 10, 2020

NZXT, today announces their newest iteration of their internal USB hub. The new NZXT Internal USB Hub improves over the previous generation by adding an additional internal USB 2.0 port for expanded connectivity and replaces its power source from Molex to SATA power. Its compact size, built-in magnets, and included 3M double-sided tape allows for an easy installation in tight spaces in any chassis. All of this gives builders the confidence that they will have enough Internal USB ports on their motherboards for components such as the NZXT Kraken Z53, NZXT RGB and Fan Controller, and NZXT E850 Digital PSU.

Expanded Compatibility

Four internal USB 2.0 ports and 1 port for connection to the motherboard

Truly Compact

Works great with any PC and designed to be easily hidden away

Stable Power

SATA power connection provides a stable power source

Simple Installation

User-friendly installation with a magnetic body and 3M dual lock tapes for mounting

Pricing & Availability

The NZXT Internal USB Hub (GEN 3) is now available from NZXT for 22.99 USD.

So you can hide wifi / bluetooth / wireless headset dongles inside your case?

where they get no signal? genius these adaptors are sandwhiched between the mobo tray and the back panel 99% of the time, the internal port made no sense... and the height of them made actually plugging something in there incredibly unlikely too.

There are some products NZXT ones itself which come with mini USB port so you could connect it directly using Usb cable or have a small Linux installation on pendrive and not have it hanging off either front or rear IO panel.

That depends on the case. A side window doesn't do much to block radio frequencies.
It's also useful for adding a water pump or flow meter etc, if you're liquid cooling inclined
