Manw USB 3.1 Type-E Header Male to USB-C Female Extension Cable 40cm

SKU CH-6BR0-NXTRP

Adds a USB-C front-panel port to a motherboard USB 3.1 Type-E header with a 40 cm cable

  • Connect USB-C devices to modern motherboards via 3.1 Type-E header
  • 40 cm length fits compact builds and tidy cable runs
  • Panel-mount screw secures connector firmly to chassis cut-out
  • Backwards compatible with USB 3.0 peripherals on newer platforms
  • Designed for boards like ROG Maximus IX and Strix Z270 series

Front-panel USB 3.1 Type-E header

This 40 cm cable adapts a motherboard USB 3.1 front-panel header to a panel-mounted USB-C female port. It suits builders adding a modern Type-C connector to cases or front panels that only provide the older header style.

Backwards compatible pin layout

The cable uses the USB 3.0 pin set plus the extra contacts required by the 3.1 specification, so it works with existing 3.0 headers while enabling 3.1 signalling. No active electronics are involved, so power draw and noise are negligible.

Sustained throughput matches header rating

Under continuous transfer the link remains limited by the host controller and cable length rather than the adapter itself. Builders needing longer reach or multiple ports should plan for a powered hub or a motherboard with additional native headers.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 40 cm cable between a USB 3.1 front-panel header and a Type-C cutout?

Plug the male header into the motherboard USB 3.1 front-panel connector, then secure the Type-C female end to the chassis panel using the supplied mounting screw.

What maintenance or replacement will the cable need later?

The cable is passive with no moving parts; only replace it if the connectors become physically damaged or if a future motherboard uses a different front-panel header pin-out.

What limit appears first under sustained use?

The 40 cm length keeps signal loss low, so the practical limit is the motherboard header’s current rating rather than the cable itself.
