USB 3.1 Type-E to USB 3.0 header converter

This adapter connects a front-panel USB 3.1 Type-E Key-A 20-pin female header to a motherboard USB 3.0/3.1 19-pin male header. It enables USB-C front-panel access on boards that lack a native Type-E connector. The device is new and coloured black.

Builders adding USB-C front-panel ports

Suits system builders who want a USB-C front-panel port without upgrading the motherboard. It does not increase the 5 Gb/s signalling rate of the 19-pin header to 10 Gb/s. Buyers who need 10 Gb/s front-panel throughput should look elsewhere.

Power-delivery limitation

The 19-pin header supplies up to 4.5 W at .9 A. Many USB-C devices can draw up to 100 W, which may trigger a protective shutdown on the motherboard. The converter does not raise this power ceiling.

Questions about this item

What motherboard header must I have free to plug this converter in?

You need an available internal USB 3.0 19-pin male header on the motherboard.

Will my front-panel USB 3.1 Type-E Key-A 20-pin female header work with this adapter?

Yes, the converter mates a USB 3.1 Type-E Key-A 20-pin front-panel female header to that 19-pin motherboard header.

How can I confirm the link is running at USB 3.0 speed after installation?

Check Device Manager or system profiler; the port should enumerate as a USB 3.0 connection with a 5 Gb/s signalling rate.
