Fervit USB 3.1 Type-E to Dual 9-Pin Adapter
This adapter converts a motherboard USB 3.1 Type-E header into two standard 9-pin USB 2.0 headers. It includes a Type-E cable, a Type-A cable, and a PCBA module with an integrated USB 2.0 hub chipset. Builders can connect front-panel USB 2.0 devices or internal accessories without occupying additional motherboard headers. The compact design plugs directly into the 20-pin Type-E connector and requires no extra mounting hardware.
Thermals noise and power draw
The adapter draws power from the motherboard header and supplies up to 500 mA at 5 V to each of the two 9-pin ports. Passive operation means no fan noise and no measurable heat output during normal use. Total bandwidth is limited to 480 Mbps by the USB 2.0 hub chipset, so power consumption remains low and steady. The included adhesive backing allows secure placement on the motherboard or chassis.
Single specification that decides fit
The product only works if your motherboard provides a 20-pin USB 3.1 Type-E internal header. Boards with only standard 19-pin USB 3.0 headers or older 9-pin USB 2.0 headers cannot accept the Type-E plug. Buyers who need to split a regular USB 3.0 header or add USB 3.0 speed ports should look for a different adapter.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Type-E cable onto a 20pin motherboard header and where does the adhesive-backed PCBA go?
Align the Type-E plug with the 20pin USB 3.1 header, press straight down until seated, then peel the backing on the PCBA and stick it to the motherboard or chassis for a fixed mount.
What ongoing maintenance does the onboard USB 2.0 hub chipset need?
No scheduled maintenance is required; the hub chipset is passive and has no replaceable parts, so only reseat the cables if a port stops responding.
At what point does the 500ma per-port current limit throttle connected devices under sustained load?
Each 9pin port supplies up to 500ma at 5v; drawing more will cause the port to current-limit or shut down until the load drops.
