Front Panel USB 3.2 Hub for 3.5in Bay

This Manw hub installs in a 3.5in floppy drive bay and adds a USB 3.2 Type C port, two USB 3.0 ports, a microphone input and a speaker output. It connects to the motherboard via a USB 3.0 20Pin header, a USB 2.0 9Pin header and a TYPE E interface. The iron shell construction provides durability and the unit is plug and play on supported operating systems.

Suited for Builders with Spare 3.5in Bay

It suits PC builders who have an available 3.5in bay and a motherboard or adapter card that provides the required TYPE E, USB 3.0 20Pin and USB 2.0 9Pin connections. Builders whose chassis lack a 3.5in bay or whose motherboards do not expose the necessary headers should look at alternative solutions.

Sustained Operation with Iron Shell Construction

The iron shell acts as a sturdy housing that resists wear during repeated insertion and removal of cables. Under continuous data transfer across the Type C and USB 3.0 ports the metal chassis helps dissipate heat without active cooling. Plug and play operation means no driver management is required during extended sessions on Windows 7, 8, 10, 11 or Linux.

Questions about this item

What motherboard headers must I already have to connect the TYPE E, USB 3.0 20Pin and USB 2.0 9Pin cables?

You need a motherboard or adapter card that provides a TYPE E connector, a USB 3.0 20-pin header and a USB 2.0 9-pin header, plus a free 3.5in drive bay for mounting.

Will my older USB 2.0 flash drives and headsets work through the front-panel ports?

Yes, the hub’s USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 headers are backward-compatible, so USB 2.0 devices function normally on the Type-C and two Type-A ports, and the 3.5mm jacks accept standard analogue headsets.

How can I verify the hub is running at 10Gbps after installation?

Plug a USB 3.2 Gen 2 device into the Type-C port, then check the connection speed in Device Manager or lsusb -t; it should show a 10Gbps link.
