Front-panel USB-C adapter

This Fervit adapter converts an internal motherboard USB 2.0 header into a single external USB-C socket. It connects to a standard 9-pin or 10-pin header and presents a USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C female port. The device is built on a compact PCBA with quality electronic components. It adds a modern front-panel connection without requiring a native USB-C header.

Builders adding a front-panel Type-C port

Suits PC builders whose case has a USB-C front panel but whose motherboard only offers USB 2.0 headers. It delivers USB 2.0 speeds up to 480Mbps and 5V/500mA power for data and charging. Not for users needing USB 3.0 or 3.1 data rates, USB Power Delivery, or video and audio alternate modes. The adapter does not support those functions.

Limited to USB 2.0 480Mbps throughput

The decisive specification is the 480Mbps data ceiling imposed by the USB 2.0 header interface. Despite the USB 3.1 Type-C physical connector, the adapter cannot exceed USB 2.0 bandwidth or current limits. Buyers must match this performance level to their peripheral requirements. No higher throughput is possible with this hardware.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter include any cables or mounting hardware, or must I supply them separately?

The listing describes only the PCBA adapter board itself; no cables, brackets or screws are mentioned, so you will need to provide your own internal USB 2.0 header cable and any mounting hardware.

Why is the connector labelled USB 3.1 Type-C when the speed is limited to 480 Mbps?

The USB-C receptacle follows the USB 3.1 physical specification, but the internal wiring connects only to a USB 2.0 9/10-pin header, so data runs at 480 Mbps and power is limited to 5 V / 500 mA.

Can I use this adapter to charge a laptop or drive a monitor through the USB-C port?

No. The adapter carries only USB 2.0 data lines and 5 V / 500 mA power; it does not support Power Delivery, video or audio alternate modes.
