Black rectangular adapter with vertical 20-pin male header and USB 3.1 Type-E female port

ORVIX

ORVIX USB 3.1 Type-E to USB 3.0 20-Pin Header Adapter

SKU CH-FFY9-5QSPE

Converts a motherboard USB 3.0 20-pin header to a USB 3.1 Type-E front-panel connector for up to 5 GBit/s

  • Converts a USB 3.0 header to USB 3.1 Type-E
  • Supports up to 5 GBit/s data transfer rate
  • Enables USB 3.1 front-panel ports on boards lacking native header
  • Direct plug-in design requires no extra attachments or cables
  • Works with motherboards using AMD AM4 or Intel 2066 sockets

Front-panel USB 3.1 Type-E adapter

The ORVIX adapter converts a motherboard USB 3.0 20-pin header into a USB 3.1 Key-A Type-E front-panel connector. It lets a case USB 3.1 port run at up to 5 GBit/s even when the board lacks a native 3.1 header. The vertical plug fits directly into the existing header without extra cables or brackets. Builders with AM4 or 2066 platforms can add front-panel 3.1 support instantly.

Plug-in installation on the motherboard

The adapter inserts vertically into any standard USB 3.0 20-pin header and requires no tools, screws or additional power. Alignment is the only common issue; the keyed Type-E shroud prevents reversed insertion but can feel tight on crowded boards. Ensure the header pins are straight and the latch engages fully to avoid intermittent contact. No driver or BIOS change is needed for the passthrough to work.

Verify header availability and case connector

Check that your motherboard has a free USB 3.0 20-pin header and that your chassis front panel uses a USB 3.1 Type-E plug. The adapter does not create a second header; it repurposes the existing one for a single 3.1 lane. If your case needs two Type-E ports or your board only offers USB 2.0 headers, this adapter will not solve the mismatch.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the adapter is working after connecting it to my motherboard's USB 3.0 20-pin header?

Plug a USB 3.1 front-panel device into the Type-E connector. The operating system should recognise it at USB 3.0 speeds, up to 5 GBit/s, showing the link is active.

What comes in the box and what extra parts are needed?

The package contains only the vertical Key-A Type-E to 20-pin male adapter. No cables or brackets are included; your case must already have a USB 3.1 front-panel port with a Type-E plug.

Which motherboard header version do I need for this adapter?

Your motherboard must provide a USB 3.0 20-pin header that supplies two USB 3.0 lanes. The adapter converts that header to a USB 3.1 Type-E front-panel connection.
