What this cable does

The SSSUWP UWPCU22E adds a front-panel USB-C port to a motherboard that only has a 9-pin USB 2.0 header. It connects the internal header to a female Type-C connector on the case front. Data runs at 480 megabits per second. The cable is 17 centimetres long including the connectors. No drivers are required.

Who this suits and who it does not

Builders upgrading an older case or board with a 9-pin USB 2.0 header will find it useful. It does not work with a 19-pin USB 3.0 header and it cannot deliver USB 3.0 speeds. The adapter also does not support video or audio output, so buyers needing DisplayPort alt-mode or higher bandwidth should look elsewhere.

How it fits into a build

The female-to-female copper cable plugs directly into the motherboard 9-pin header and presents a Type-C port at the front panel. Its short length keeps routing tidy in compact cases. Because it uses the existing USB 2.0 header, no additional internal connectors or power cables are needed, leaving other headers free for other front-panel devices.

Questions about this item

Do I need a motherboard with a USB 2.0 9/10-pin header for this cable to work?

Yes, the cable connects to a motherboard USB 2.0 9/10-pin female header to provide a front-panel USB-C port.

Will this adapter function if I also have a 19-pin USB 3.0 header on the same board?

The cable is not compatible with 19-pin USB 3.0 headers and will only operate at USB 2.0 speeds of 480 Mbps.

How can I verify the link is running at the rated 480 Mbps after installation?

Connect a USB 2.0 device to the front-panel Type-C port and check the operating system device manager or a USB speed utility to confirm 480 Mbps operation.
