Internal USB-C front-panel adapter

This EZDIY-FAB adapter converts an internal 19-pin USB 3.0 header into a 20-pin Type-C A-Key connector for a front panel. It brings a modern USB-C port to cases that only have the older header. The 180-degree orientation helps avoid interference with motherboard layout or chassis structure. No drivers are required and it works with Windows and Linux systems.

Builders adding front USB-C to older boards

Suits system builders who want a front-panel Type-C port on a motherboard equipped with a 19-pin USB 3.0 header. It is not for boards that already provide a native 20-pin Type-E header. It is also not for users who need the higher throughput of a native USB 3.1 Gen 2 or USB 3.2 connection.

Limited to 5 Gbps by the USB 3.0 header

The adapter passes signals at up to 5 Gbps because the source header follows the USB 3.0 specification. The 20-pin Type-C connector is A-Keyed and angled at 180 degrees for clearance. Speed will not exceed the limit of the connected 19-pin header.

Questions about this item

Will the EZDPC181 adapter work with the USB 3.0 19-pin header on my older motherboard?

Yes, it is compatible with all motherboard USB 3.0 19-pin headers and works on Windows and Linux systems.

How can I verify the adapter is delivering the expected 5 Gbps transfer rate after installation?

Connect a USB 3.0 device and check the reported link speed in your OS device manager or run a file-transfer benchmark.

Does the EZDPC181 package include a front-panel USB-C bracket or cable, or must I buy those separately?

The box contains only the 19-pin to Type-E adapter; front-panel hubs, brackets or cables are sold separately.
