Front-panel USB 3.1 to USB-C adapter

This 40 cm cable converts an internal USB 3.1 front-panel header into an external USB-C female port. It suits PC builders who want a modern Type-C socket on their case front without replacing the motherboard. The panel-mount screw secures the connector firmly in a standard cut-out.

40 cm reach and USB 3.1 header compatibility

The short length keeps cable routing tidy inside compact chassis while providing enough slack for most front-panel layouts. It works with motherboards that implement the USB 3.1 header pin-out such as the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS IX FORMULA and STRIX Z270 boards. Builders using older USB 3.0 headers or cases without a suitable mounting hole cannot use this adapter.

Panel-mount screw simplifies installation

The included screw lets you fasten the USB-C port directly to the case panel, preventing movement during repeated plugging. No additional brackets, drivers or software are supplied, so the upgrade is purely mechanical and electrical.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the connection is running at USB 3.1 speed after I install it?

Plug a USB 3.1 device into the Type-C port and check the operating system's device manager or system profiler; it should list the link as SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen 2).

Yes, the UC-037 ships with the panel-mount screw needed to secure the Type-C female connector to a front-panel cutout.
