USB 2.0 addon card question

I just got my 5 port USB 2.0 card today and it has an internal connector (IO Gear GIC251U). I assumed that it would be a pin connector so I could connect my front USB port on my case to it, but it's not. It is a normal USB connector. Does anyone know of any adapters that I can buy to convert it to pins? I could build one myself but it would be easier to just buy one.

Thanks,
Eric
 
according to the specs it has 4 external Downstream and 1 Internal Downstream connectors .... for example if U have a cold cathode tube inside your pc that requires a USB connection, U can use the internal port
 
I know it can be used for that What I want to know is if there are any adapters I can just buy to convert it to pins so my front case USB connector can use it instead of plugging it into the motherboard and getting USB 1.1.

you coudl run a short USB extension from the card to the case mounts and just mount it there, i thinks thats what im gonna do
