SKU CH-6HEP-5MDCK

Converts a motherboard USB 3.0 header to a USB 3.1 Type-E port with a 90° angled design for tight spaces and up to 10 Gbit/s

  • Connect in tight spaces with 90° angled design
  • Upgrade motherboard USB 3.0 header to USB 3.1 Type-E
  • Achieve up to 10 Gbit/s data throughput
  • Plug directly into any USB 3.0 header without extra parts
  • Enable front-panel USB 3.1 port on cases lacking native header

Front-panel USB 3.1 Type-E adapter

This Fervit adapter converts a motherboard USB 3.0 header into a USB 3.1 Type-E female port. The 90 degree down-angled design fits tight spaces around the front-panel connector. It supports data rates up to 10 Gbit/s and requires no extra cables or power. The unit is supplied new and plugs directly into the existing header.

Builders adding a USB 3.1 front port

Suits PC builders whose case has a USB 3.1 Type-E front-panel connector but whose motherboard only offers a USB 3.0 header. The angled body clears nearby components in compact chassis. Not for systems that already provide a native Type-E header. Not for connecting external Type-A peripherals directly to the motherboard.

Header-to-Type-E conversion

The decisive specification is the conversion of a USB 3.0 header into a USB 3.1 Type-E female port. This single function determines whether the adapter matches the motherboard and case combination. No other specification governs compatibility.

Questions about this item

Will the 90-degree down angle clear the PCIe slot next to my motherboard's USB 3.0 header?

The right-angle design points the Type-E port downward, letting you plug a front-panel cable in tight clearance beside expansion cards or board components.

Do I need any screws or cables to install the adapter in the USB 3.0 header?

No. The adapter plugs straight into the 19-pin USB 3.0 header; no screws, brackets or extra cables are required.

Will the adapter itself need replacement if I later upgrade to a motherboard with native USB 3.1 headers?

The adapter is a passive converter; it only becomes unnecessary when the new board already provides a Type-E header.
