Short black cable with USB 3.1 Type-E plug and 19/20 pin header

EN-Labs

EN-Labs USB 3.1 Type-E to USB 3.0 19/20 Pin Adapter Cable 8 Inches DIY Cooling

SKU CH-TTPS-ZW43B

Converts a motherboard USB 3.1 Type-E header to a USB 3.0 19/20-pin connector with 5 Gbps transfer speed over an 8-inch shielded cable

  • Converts motherboard Type-E header to 19-pin USB 3.0 front-panel connector
  • Supports 5 Gbps data transfer for fast file moves
  • 24 AWG tinned copper core with multi-layer shielding resists interference
  • Compact 8-inch length fits tight case routing
  • Plug-and-play design requires no drivers or configuration

What this adapter does

The EN-Labs cable converts a motherboard USB 3.1 Type-E header to a standard USB 3.0 19/20 pin connector. It lets builders use front-panel USB 3.0 ports on newer boards that only expose the Type-E interface. The 8 inch length keeps routing tidy inside compact cases.

Sustained transfer behaviour

Data moves at up to 5 Gbps through a 24 AWG tinned copper core with multi-layer shielding. The construction resists electromagnetic interference so throughput stays consistent during long file copies or backups. No audio, video or docking signals are carried, so the link is dedicated purely to USB data.

Thermals, noise and power

Passive copper conductors draw negligible power and generate no audible noise. The shielded jacket prevents signal degradation without active cooling. Heat output is imperceptible during normal operation, leaving case airflow and acoustics unchanged.

Questions about this item

Does the 24AWG copper core and multi-layer shielding generate noticeable heat or draw extra power during all-day use?

The adapter is a passive cable with no active components, so it adds negligible heat and draws no additional power beyond the USB 3.0 5Gbps signal it carries.

What motherboard header and case front-panel connector must I already have for this 8-inch adapter to work?

You need a motherboard with a USB 3.1 Type-E 20-pin header and a chassis front-panel cable ending in a USB 3.0 19-pin plug.

Will this cable work if I keep an older case that only has a USB 2.0 9-pin front-panel connector?

No — the adapter converts between USB 3.1 Type-E 20-pin and USB 3.0 19-pin only; it does not support USB 2.0 9-pin interfaces.
