Small green circuit board with M.2 edge connector and Type-E header

Fervit

Fervit 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 M-Key NVME to Type-E Adapter

SKU CH-60JY-41RHN

Converts an M-Key NVME slot into a 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-E header using an ASM3242 controller for front-panel USB-C data

  • Add 20 Gbps front-panel USB-C via an M-Key NVME slot
  • ASM3242 controller delivers full 20 Gbps bandwidth
  • Plugs directly into motherboard M-Key slot, no extra cables needed
  • Data-only adapter — no video, audio or PD charging
  • Works when motherboard lacks native Type-E header

Front-Panel USB-C Enabler

This adapter converts a spare M-Key NVME slot on the motherboard into an internal USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-E header. It lets a case front-panel USB-C port run at the full 20Gbps data rate even when the board lacks a native header. The ASM3242 chipset bridges the PCIe link to the USB bus. Installation is a direct plug into the M.2 slot with no extra cables required.

Replaces Missing Native Header

The card upgrades a system that has an unused NVME slot but no built-in 20Gbps front-panel connector. The jump is worth it when you need high-speed external storage or peripherals on the front panel and the motherboard only offers slower headers or none at all. It provides a fully-featured USB data port without occupying a PCIe expansion slot. No video, audio or Power Delivery functions are added.

For Builders With Spare M-Key Slots

This suits PC builders who have a free M-Key NVME slot and a case with a 20Gbps front-panel USB-C port but no matching motherboard header. It is not for users who need DisplayPort Alt Mode video output, audio passthrough or PD charging from that port. Buyers without an available M-Key slot or who require those missing features should look at alternative solutions.

Yes, it plugs directly into an available M.2 NVME M-Key slot on the motherboard to provide the front panel Type-E header.

Is any extra cable or power connection needed during installation?

No, the card installs directly into the M.2 slot without additional cables or attachments; the step often missed is securing the board with the motherboard standoff screw.

Will the front-panel USB-C port support Power Delivery charging after installing this adapter?

No, the adapter is designed exclusively for high-speed data transfer and does not support Power Delivery charging, video output, or audio.
