Fervit USB 3.1 Front Panel Header to USB-C Female Cable 40cm with Panel Mount Screw

SKU CH-C8X6-5THQ2

Connects a USB 3.1 front-panel header to a panel-mounted USB-C female port using a 40 cm cable

  • Connect USB-C devices to a USB 3.1 front-panel header
  • 40 cm cable fits compact cases without strain
  • Panel-mount screw secures the port firmly in place
  • Backward compatible with USB 3.0 pin layout
  • Designed for early USB 3.1 headers on Z270 boards

Front-Panel USB 3.1 Header Cable

This 40 cm cable connects a motherboard USB 3.1 front-panel header to a USB-C female port that mounts securely in a case cut-out using the supplied screw hardware. It provides a front-accessible Type-C connection for external devices such as drives, docks or phones. The assembly is supplied new and ready to install.

Builders with a 3.1 header on Z270 boards

The cable suits builders whose motherboard exposes the newer USB 3.1 front-panel header, for example on the ASUS ROG Maximus IX Formula or Strix Z270I and Z270G models. It will not work for systems that only have the older USB 3.0 header, nor for cases without a suitable panel opening for the threaded Type-C connector.

USB 3.1 header to Type-C female

The single deciding specification is the connector pairing: one end plugs into the motherboard USB 3.1 front-panel header and the other end presents a panel-mount USB-C female port. If your board lacks that specific header, this cable cannot be used.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum cable length before signal degradation?

The cable is 40 cm long, which matches the USB 3.1 front-panel header specification for reliable operation without an active repeater.

Does the connector run hot or draw extra power during continuous transfers?

The passive Type-C female end and 40 cm wiring add no active circuitry, so heat and power draw stay at the level of the motherboard's USB 3.1 header itself.

Which motherboard header must already be present for this cable to function?

A USB 3.1 front-panel header — first seen on boards such as the ASUS ROG Maximus IX Formula and STRIX Z270I/Z270G — is required; a standard USB 3.0 header will not mate.
