LORDWORLD USB 3.0 19/20Pin to USB 3.1 Type-E Adapter 20cm

SKU CH-75XQ-KQTJ5

Converts a 19/20-pin front-panel header to a USB 3.1 Type-E port for single-channel 10Gbps data from storage drives

  • Connect motherboard front-panel headers to Type-E ports
  • Supports up to 10 Gbps data for SSD and HDD
  • Works with 19-pin and 20-pin internal connectors
  • 20 cm cable keeps internal routing tidy
  • No power-delivery or video-alt-mode support

Front-panel Type-E adapter

This 20 cm adapter converts a motherboard 19-pin USB 3.0 header to a single USB 3.1 Type-E front-panel port. It is built for PC builders who want a modern Type-E connector on a chassis that only provides the older 19-pin header. The short cable keeps internal routing tidy in compact cases.

Suits single-port front panels; not for dual USB 3.0

The adapter works when the case or bracket has one Type-E front-panel port fed by a single 19-pin header. It cannot split that header into two independent USB 3.0 connections because the Type-E interface is single-channel. Builders needing two simultaneous USB 3.0 ports from one header should look at a different solution.

10 Gbps headroom with USB 3.0 fallback

The Type-E port can pass up to 10 Gbps from an SSD or HDD, limited by the motherboard's own Type-E speed. It carries no audio, video, docking, power-delivery or DisplayPort alt-mode signals. Depending on the 19-pin cable used, the front Type-C side may deliver USB 3.0 or USB 2.0, while the reverse side is USB 2.0 only; dual Type-A cables give one USB 3.0 port and one USB 2.0 port.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a 19-pin or 20-pin USB 3.0 header for this adapter to connect?

Yes, the adapter plugs into a motherboard 19/20-pin USB 3.0 front-panel header and presents a USB 3.1 Type-E port for the front panel cable.

If I keep an older 19-pin to dual Type-A front panel cable, will both ports run at USB 3.0?

No, with a 19-pin to dual Type-A cable one port will operate at USB 3.0 and the other at USB 2.0.

How can I confirm the adapter is delivering the expected 10 Gbps link speed after installation?

Connect a USB 3.1 Gen 2 SSD or HDD to the front panel Type-C port and verify the drive negotiates a 10 Gbps connection in the OS device manager or benchmark tool.
