Black 50cm internal cable with Type-E plug and USB-C panel bracket

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Type-E to USB 3.1 Type-C Front Panel Cable 50cm

SKU CH-8GZM-7DJ5M

Adds a front-panel USB-C port to a desktop by converting an internal Type-E header, with a mounting bracket and 50 cm cable for USB 3.1 data

  • Add front USB-C port via motherboard Type-E header
  • Secure mount panel fits standard chassis expansion slot
  • 50cm length allows flexible internal cable routing
  • USB 3.1 supports high-speed data transmission
  • Simple plug-and-play upgrade for desktop PC cases

Front USB-C Upgrade Kit

This 50 cm cable converts an internal motherboard Type-E header into a standard external USB 3.1 Type-C port. The included mounting bracket secures the port to a chassis expansion slot for a permanent installation. It is intended for DIY builders and anyone adding front-panel USB-C connectivity to an existing desktop case. The 50 cm length allows flexible routing inside the chassis for tidy cable management.

Check Motherboard Header Compatibility

Verify that your motherboard provides a Type-E front-panel header before ordering. This connector is not the same as a standard internal USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 header, so consult your board manual to confirm the pin layout. Ensure a rear expansion slot is free for the mounting bracket and that the 50 cm reach suits your internal cable path.

Integrates With Case And Peripherals

The bracket occupies one rear expansion slot, leaving the front panel free for the new USB-C port. Once installed, the port supports flash drives, mobile devices and other Type-C peripherals at USB 3.1 speeds. The cable draws power directly from the motherboard header, so no extra power connections are required for the upgrade.
