Vszerda CY-UC-069 USB 3.0 19/20Pin to USB 3.1 Type-E Adapter

SKU CH-6XYZ-0ZZMJ

Converts a motherboard USB 3.0 19/20-pin header into a USB 3.1 Type-E front-panel connector for Type-C or Type-A ports

  • Connector count1
  • Converts a USB 3.0 header into a USB 3.1 Type-E front-panel connector
  • Enables USB 3.1 Type-C or Type-A front-panel ports on boards lacking a native header
  • Works with AMD AM4 and Intel 2066 platforms that omit a USB 3.1 header
  • Compact overmolded design plugs directly into the 19/20-pin header with no extra cables
  • Delivers up to 5 Gbit/s throughput via the adapted USB 3.1 connection

Purpose and Compatibility

This adapter converts a motherboard USB 3.0 19/20-pin header into a USB 3.1 Type-E front-panel connector. It lets builders use a case USB 3.1 Type-C or Type-A port even when the board lacks a native USB 3.1 header. The compact overmolded unit plugs directly into the existing header with no extra cables or brackets required. It suits PC builders upgrading front-panel connectivity on platforms such as AMD AM4 or Intel 2066.

Interface Limits

The adapter bridges a USB 3.0 header that supplies two USB 3.0 lanes to a single USB 3.1 Type-E socket. Throughput is limited to the 5 Gbit/s rate of the source header, so the front-panel port operates at USB 3.0 speeds despite the newer connector shape. It does not add bandwidth or advanced protocol features beyond what the motherboard header already provides. The single-connector design serves one front-panel port only.

Upgrade Context

This part replaces the need for a motherboard with a built-in USB 3.1 header when a case already has a Type-C or Type-A front-panel port. The jump is worthwhile when the board has a spare USB 3.0 header but no native USB 3.1 header, avoiding a full platform change. It is not suited for builds that require the higher throughput of a native USB 3.1 Gen 2 header or for cases needing multiple front-panel USB 3.1 ports.

Questions about this item

Should I pick this adapter or a different version for my motherboard?

This is the single CY-UC-069 model that converts a USB 3.0 19/20-pin header into a USB 3.1 Type-E front-panel socket.

What speed will I actually get from the converted port?

The adapter bundles the two USB 3.0 lanes into one USB 3.1 port running at up to 5 GBit/s.

Which header standard does it plug into and what does that limit?

It plugs into a standard USB 3.0 19/20-pin motherboard header, so the converted port is capped at USB 3.0 electrical signalling.
