USB 3.1 Type E to USB 3.0 19/20Pin Adapter

This adapter connects a motherboard USB 3.1 Type E header to a USB 3.0 19 or 20-pin header on a front panel or hub. It includes a SATA power cable to supply the converted port. The copper construction carries data and power between the two header types. It is intended for PC builders adding front-panel USB 3.0 ports to a newer motherboard.

USB 3.0 interface limited to 5Gbps maximum

The USB 3.0 19/20-pin side operates at up to 5Gbps and supports two-way data transmission. That bandwidth is ten times faster than USB 2.0 but lower than the native USB 3.1 Gen 2 ceiling. The adapter does not increase the signalling rate of the connected device beyond the USB 3.0 specification. Cable length and signal quality may further reduce real-world speed.

Check motherboard header type

Verify that your motherboard provides a USB 3.1 Type E host header before ordering. Ensure the front-panel cable or hub uses a standard USB 3.0 19 or 20-pin connector. A free SATA power connector from the PSU is required for the adapter to function. Builders needing internal USB 3.1 Gen 2 front-panel support cannot use this adapter for that purpose.

Questions about this item

Which Vszerda adapter version should I choose for my motherboard's USB 3.1 Type E header?

This single model U3-084-EF+UC-117 converts a motherboard USB 3.1 Type E host socket to a USB 3.0 19/20-pin Type E header and includes a SATA power cable for the front panel.

What does the 5 Gbps super-speed rating mean when the adapter is installed in a PC?

The link runs at USB 3.0 5 Gbps, so front-panel ports, hubs or card readers connected to the 19/20-pin header will transfer data at up to that rate in both directions.

How does the USB 3.0 19/20-pin Type E interface limit what I can plug into the front panel?

The 19/20-pin Type E header accepts most USB 3.0 front-panel cables, hubs and card readers, while the included SATA power cable supplies the necessary auxiliary power.
