Small black USB header adapter with vertical sockets on both ends

Fervit

Fervit USB 3.1 Type-E to USB 2.0 9Pin 10Pin Header Adapter

SKU CH-C0QK-WJ82C

Converts a motherboard USB 2.0 header to a USB 3.1 front-panel header with a compact, direct-fit adapter

  • Converts a USB 2.0 header to a USB 3.1 front-panel port
  • Compact design plugs directly into the motherboard with no extra parts
  • Vertical USB 2.0 front-panel socket for easy case connection
  • Vertical USB 3.1 front-panel header supports newer front-panel devices
  • Simple converter adapter extends front-panel USB connectivity from existing headers

Front-panel header adapter

The Fervit adapter converts an available motherboard USB 2.0 front-panel header into a vertical USB 3.1 front-panel header. It plugs directly onto the board without extra cables or brackets. The compact design fits tight internal layouts. Builders adding a USB 3.1 front-panel port use this to bridge the header mismatch.

Compatibility check

Verify that your motherboard has a free USB 2.0 9-pin or 10-pin front-panel header before ordering. The adapter requires that specific header type to function. Confirm your case front-panel connector matches the vertical USB 3.1 socket on the adapter. No additional power or software drivers are needed for the conversion.

What the adapter changes

The adapter lets you connect a modern USB 3.1 front-panel cable to an older USB 2.0 motherboard header. It does not increase the signalling speed beyond USB 2.0 limits. The physical connector changes from 9-pin or 10-pin to the vertical USB 3.1 key-A header. Data throughput remains at the USB 2.0 rate of the source header.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the Fervit USB 3.1 Type-E to USB 2.0 header adapter?

The box contains the compact adapter only; no extra cables, brackets or mounting hardware are included.

Should I choose a 9-pin or 10-pin version of this adapter for my motherboard?

The adapter fits a standard 9-pin USB 2.0 front-panel header; the 10-pin reference simply describes the keyed USB 3.1 header it converts to.

What real-world transfer speed will I get through this adapter once it is installed?

The link runs at USB 2.0 speeds because the motherboard header supplies only a USB 2.0 signal.
