USB 3.1 front-panel header adapter

This 40 cm cable converts a motherboard USB 3.1 front-panel header into a panel-mounted USB-C female port. It is intended for PC builders who want a modern Type-C connection on the front of a custom or upgraded chassis. The black cable ends in a screw-fastened connector for secure installation.

Motherboard header compatibility check

Verify that your motherboard provides a USB 3.1 front-panel header; the pin-out differs from the older USB 3.0 header even though the specification is designed to be backwards compatible. Early implementations appear on boards such as the ASUS ROG Maximus IX Formula and Strix Z270I or Z270G. Ensure the 40 cm length reaches your chosen mounting location without strain.

Builders adding front USB-C vs other needs

Suits enthusiasts adding a single USB-C port to a case front panel where a USB 3.1 header is available. Not for systems lacking that specific header, users needing multiple ports, or anyone requiring internal drive connections instead of a front-panel interface.

Questions about this item

What connectors are on the cable and is a mounting screw included?

One end has a USB 3.1 front-panel header plug and the other end has a USB-C female port with a panel-mount screw for securing it to a case cut-out.

Which motherboard header version does the 3.1 header support?

The header uses the USB 3.0 pin set with additional pins for 3.1 signalling and is designed to be backwards compatible with USB 3.0 headers.

What cable length is supplied and how does that affect internal routing?

The cable is 40 cm long, which is suited for routing from a front-panel header to a nearby case cut-out without excess slack.
