Two-adapter kit for front-panel USB 3.1

The set provides one Type-E male to Type-C female adapter and one Type-E male to Type-A female adapter. Both connect to a motherboard USB 3.1 front-panel header. They let a case with legacy Type-A or modern Type-C ports use the newer header.

Sustained 10 Gbps throughput on each port

Each adapter supports 10 Gbps transfer rates over copper conductors. The Type-E header uses the USB 3.0 pin set with additional contacts for the higher speed. Backward compatibility means existing 3.0 devices still function at their rated speed.

Requires a motherboard USB 3.1 Type-E header

Builders whose boards only have the older 20-pin USB 3.0 header cannot use these adapters. The kit is not for cases lacking a front-panel header connection or for direct device-to-device links.

Questions about this item

Does the 10Gbps Type-E to Type-C adapter add noticeable heat or power draw when used all day?

The adapters are passive copper conductors with no active electronics, so they add negligible heat and draw no extra power beyond what the connected device requires.

What must my motherboard already have for these adapters to work?

Your motherboard needs a USB 3.1 front-panel header (Type-E male) — a USB 3.0 header will not provide the required pin set for 10Gbps operation.

Will the Type-E to Type-A adapter run at 10Gbps with my older USB 3.0 Type-A peripherals?

Yes, the USB 3.1 Type-E header is backwards compatible with the USB 3.0 pin set, so USB 3.0 Type-A devices will function at their native 5Gbps speed.
