Two adapters convert a motherboard Type-E header to one Type-A and one Type-C port at 10 Gbps

  • Two adapters connect front-panel Type-E header to Type-A and Type-C ports

  • Backwards compatible with existing USB 3.0 pin layout
  • Type-E male to Type-C female adapter included

Adapters for USB 3.1 Front Panel Headers

This set contains two adapters that connect a motherboard Type-E header to front-panel ports. One adapter provides a Type-C female connector, the other a Type-A female connector. Both are rated for 10Gbps data transfer and are sold as new items.

Fitting the adapters into a build

The adapters plug directly into a USB 3.1 Type-E header on the motherboard, which uses the USB 3.0 pin set with additional connections. They free the builder from hunting for a case that already has the exact front-panel ports required. No extra cables or power connections are needed beyond the header itself.

Who these suit and who should look elsewhere

Builders adding USB 3.1 Type-C or Type-A front-panel ports to a board with a Type-E header will find these a direct fit. Buyers whose motherboard only offers the older USB 3.0 header, or who need internal headers for rear I/O expansion, cannot use this pair.

Questions about this item

Does the 10Gbps rating hold steady when the adapter runs all day inside a closed case?

The adapters are passive connectors with no active electronics, so sustained throughput depends on the motherboard header and cable quality rather than the adapter itself.

Will the Type-E header on my motherboard get hot or draw extra power with these adapters plugged in?

No additional power is drawn and no heat is generated by the adapters; they simply pass the existing header signals to Type-A or Type-C ports.

What motherboard header must I already have for these adapters to work?

A USB 3.1 front-panel header (Type-E male) is required; the adapters will not fit a USB 3.0 header.
