  • Adds USB 3.1 Gen2 front-panel access with TYPE-E connector
  • Two USB 3.0 ports deliver 5 Gbps throughput for fast drives
  • Two USB 2.0 ports keep legacy peripherals working
  • Single TYPE-C port supports reversible cables and modern devices
  • Fits standard 5.25 inch bay for clean desktop integration

Front-panel USB expansion for 5.25 bays

This hub fits a standard 5.25 inch drive bay and adds five front-access ports to a desktop PC. It provides two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports and one TYPE-C port. A TYPE-E connector links the hub to the motherboard header.

Builders adding front I/O without case modification

Suits anyone whose chassis has a free 5.25 bay and wants modern ports at the front. Not for systems that lack an internal TYPE-E header or have no 5.25 bay available. Buyers needing more than five additional ports should look at something else.

TYPE-E motherboard header required

The single specification that decides fit is the presence of a TYPE-E connector on the motherboard. Without that header the hub cannot connect to the USB 3.1 GEN2 host controller.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the USB 3.1 Gen2 version or a USB 3.0 front panel hub?

This hub uses a USB 3.1 Gen2 internal header and provides two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports and one Type‑C port.

What transfer speed will I actually see on the Type‑C port when it is connected to the internal Gen2 header?

The Type‑C port runs at USB 3.0 speeds because the front‑panel ports are wired to the USB 3.1 Gen2 header but specified as USB 3.0.

Does the board need a USB 3.1 Gen2 (Type‑E) header on the motherboard, or will a USB 3.0 header work?

It requires a USB 3.1 Gen2 Type‑E header; a standard USB 3.0 header will not fit or provide the Gen2 link.
