Header conversion for USB-C front panels

This EN-Labs adapter converts a motherboard USB 3.0 19-pin header into a USB 3.1 Type-E 20-pin connector, enabling a USB-C front-panel bracket. It supports data transfer rates up to 10Gbps and works with common motherboards that have a 19-pin USB 3.0 header. The adapter is not compatible with USB 2.0 headers.

Driver-free installation with strict sequence

The device is plug-and-play and requires no driver installation on Windows XP, 7, 8, 10 (32-bit and 64-bit), macOS or Linux. Installation must follow the exact sequence: power off the tower, unplug it, wait ten seconds, fit the male USB-C end with correct orientation, then plug the adapter into the USB 3.0 header. Any other order risks the device not being recognised or triggering power-draw warnings.

Verify header type and orientation before ordering

Confirm your motherboard provides a USB 3.0 19-pin internal header; the adapter will not work with a USB 2.0 header. Ensure the front-panel bracket uses a USB 3.1 A-Key 20-pin female header that matches the adapter's Connector B. Check that the male USB-C connector orientation suits your chassis bracket layout before purchase.
