USB 3.1 Type-E male to 4-pin 2.54mm header cable, 30cm

Fervit

Fervit USB 3.1 Type-E to USB 2.0 4pin 2.54mm 30cm

SKU CH-HJ0X-10W38

Converts a motherboard USB 3.1 Type-E header to a 2.54 mm 4-pin USB 2.0 header with latch, 30 cm long, supporting 480 Mbps and 500 mA per port

  • Converts USB 3.1 Type-E header to USB 2.0 4-pin for legacy device support
  • 480 Mbps data throughput with 500 mA power delivery per port
  • 54 mm pitch latch header ensures secure motherboard connection
  • 30 cm length fits tight internal chassis routing
  • Direct plug-in design requires no extra adapters or cables

Internal Header Adaptation

This 30 cm cable converts a motherboard 20-pin USB 3.1 Type-E header into a standard 4-pin USB 2.0 connector with 2.54 mm pitch and latch. It targets builders who need to attach front-panel USB 2.0 ports or adapters when only the newer internal header is available. The direct plug-in design requires no extra brackets or wiring. Each port delivers 480 Mbps data and 500 mA at 5 V.

Upgrade From Unused Header

The cable puts a dormant Type-E header to work instead of leaving it empty or buying a separate controller card. The jump is worth it when the case provides only legacy 4-pin USB 2.0 leads and the board lacks a native 9-pin header. No driver installation is needed because the link remains electrically USB 2.0. It does not create additional bandwidth beyond the 480 Mbps limit.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous transfer the link runs at the USB 2.0 ceiling of 480 Mbps with a 500 mA current budget per port. The short 30 cm run and latched 4-pin housing keep contact resistance stable, so throughput does not degrade from connector wiggle. Thermal load stays negligible because the cable carries only signal and standard bus power. It is not suited for devices that demand USB 3.1 speeds or higher current.
