Connect USB 3.1 front panel to USB 3.0 header

This Fervit adapter converts a motherboard USB 3.0 20-pin header into a USB 3.1 front panel socket. It enables a case USB 3.1 port to run at up to 10 Gbit/s on boards lacking a native USB 3.1 header. The compact plug-in design requires no extra cables or brackets.

Check motherboard header and case port

Verify your motherboard has a free USB 3.0 20-pin front panel header before ordering. Confirm the chassis front panel provides a USB 3.1 connector that matches the adapter socket. No additional power or software is required for the conversion.

Fits any USB 3.0 header for 10 Gbit/s front access

The adapter plugs directly into the existing 20-pin header, freeing the builder from hunting for a board with a native USB 3.1 header. It supports AM4 and Intel 2066 platforms that only expose USB 3.0 headers. The small form factor leaves surrounding headers unobstructed.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter include any extra cables or mounting hardware, or is it just the converter itself?

The adapter is a single compact converter that plugs directly into a USB 3.0 20-pin header; no extra cables or mounting hardware are included or required.

The product mentions USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 headers — which motherboard header do I need for this adapter to work?

You need an available USB 3.0 20-pin front-panel header on the motherboard; the adapter converts that header to a USB 3.1 front-panel socket for your case.

The headline says up to 10 GBit/s — will I actually see that speed with a USB 3.0 header on the motherboard?

The adapter passes the motherboard's USB 3.0 header signalling, which is limited to 5 GBit/s, so the 10 GBit/s USB 3.1 rate cannot be reached through a USB 3.0 header.
