  • Works with Windows XP through 10 (32/64-bit), macOS and Linux out of the box

Front-panel Type-E adapter for USB 3.0 headers

This small bracket-mounted card converts a motherboard USB 3.0 19-pin header into a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-E port so a case front-panel USB-C connector can be used. It supports Windows XP through Windows 10, macOS and Linux without driver installation. The reversible Type-C design removes orientation guesswork.

Replaces a missing native Type-E header on older

Boards that only expose a 19-pin USB 3.0 header gain a 20-pin Type-E connection, letting the case front USB-C port run at up to 10 Gbps where the host controller allows. The jump is worth it when a new chassis includes USB-C but the motherboard lacks the matching header.

Fits a PCI slot bracket

Vertical orientation keeps the PCB clear of neighbouring expansion cards and the integrated differential-signal optimisation aims for stable throughput. No extra power cable or software is required; the adapter simply bridges the header to the case cable. Builders whose motherboard already provides a native Type-E header do not need this card.

Questions about this item

What bracket or slot does the SXDOOL USB 3.0 19P/20P to Type-E Adapter mount in?

The adapter installs on a standard PCI bracket, using the motherboard's internal 19-pin USB 3.0 header for the Type-E connection.

How do I connect the SXDOOL adapter, and which header orientation trips people up?

Plug the 19-pin connector vertically into the motherboard's USB 3.0 header; the keyed shroud only fits one way, so forcing it reversed is the common mistake.

Will the SXDOOL adapter need a firmware update or driver reinstall later?

No driver or firmware is required; it is a passive signal converter, so only a damaged cable or bent header pin would ever need replacement.
