LORDWORLD

LORDWORLD Type-C & 19/20Pin to Dual USB 3.0 20Pin & Type-E Adapter Splitter 5Gbps

SKU CH-AW14-Q5F5A

Converts a motherboard Type-C or 19/20-pin header into dual USB 3.0 20-pin and Type-E ports at 5 Gbps with optional SATA power

  • Converts a motherboard Type-C or 19/20-pin header into dual USB 3.0 20-pin and Type-E ports
  • GL3510 chipset delivers full 5 Gbps bandwidth utilisation via USB 3.1 Gen1 Multiple INs feature
  • Optional SATA power cable supplies up to 5 V 2 A for devices needing more current than the header provides
  • Two-way simultaneous data transfer at up to 5 Gbps, ten times faster than USB 2.0
  • Works with front-panel ports, cables, hubs and card readers using standard USB 3.0 20-pin or Type-E connectors

Adapter purpose and audience

This LORDWORLD adapter converts a single motherboard USB Type-C or 19/20-pin header into two downstream ports: a USB 3.0 20-pin header and a USB Type-E header. It targets PC builders who need both front-panel connector styles from one upstream port and who can supply extra power through a SATA cable. The GL3510 chipset enables full 5 Gbps bandwidth with simultaneous two-way data transfer.

Who should consider a different solution

Builders whose chassis only provides a USB 2.0 header cannot use this adapter because it requires a USB 3.0 19/20-pin or Type-C host connection. Systems without a spare SATA power connector will not be able to deliver the DC 5 V 2 A supplementary current that power-hungry front-panel devices may demand. The adapter does not carry audio, video, docking or Power Delivery signals, so users needing those functions must look elsewhere.

Deciding specification — host header type

The single specification that decides compatibility is the motherboard header you already have: this unit only accepts a USB 3.0 19/20-pin or USB Type-C upstream port. If your board offers only USB 2.0 headers, the adapter will not work.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the GL3510 chipset is delivering the full 5Gbps throughput after connecting the adapter?

Check that both the motherboard header and attached devices are USB 3.0 or 3.1 Gen1, use the included SATA power cable, then verify transfer speeds in the OS or benchmark tool to see sustained 5Gbps rates.

What comes in the box and do I need any extra cables or power connectors?

The package includes the adapter board with Type-C and 19/20-pin inputs, dual USB 3.0 20-pin and Type-E outputs, and a SATA power cable; no additional cables are required if your motherboard has matching headers.

Which header version should I choose — 19-pin or 20-pin — for my motherboard's USB 3.0 front-panel connector?

Match the pin count of your motherboard header; most modern boards use the 20-pin USB 3.0 header, while some older ones use 19-pin — the adapter supports both so select the one that physically fits.
