USB 3 question

Hey ya'll,

I have a new internal USB hub with 4 ports for a new build. I have been looking at some z170 mobos that have 2x 19pin USB3 headers on them, and they all say that each header only supports 2 ports each.

So my questions are:

A) Can I use a duplex type connector to go from both headers to 1 connector on the hub, thereby keeping each header to supporting 2 ports each.

B) And if this wont present any issues, does such an adapter exist ?

Any info and/or links to info appreciated 🙂
 
What connector does the internal hub have? if it has two 19-pin connectors, and the board you are looking to get a board with two 19-pin connectors then you should be ok
