USB 3.0 20-pin to Type-E adapter

This Vszerda cable converts a motherboard USB 3.0 20-pin header into a single USB 3.1 Type-E front-panel port. The male-to-female construction uses copper conductors and measures 20 cm long. It is intended for builders adding one Type-C front connector to a board that only exposes the legacy 20-pin header.

Builders needing one front Type-C port

The adapter suits PC builders who want a single USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-E port on the front panel and have a free 20-pin header. It does not support audio, video, DisplayPort alt mode or Power Delivery, so users requiring docking, video output or PD charging must use a different internal solution. Reverse insertion of a 19-pin to Type-C cable limits that side to USB 2.0 only.

Single-channel Type-E limitation

Because the Type-E interface is single-channel, the cable can only deliver one USB 3.0 data path; it cannot split the header into two independent USB 3.0 ports. The port supports up to 10 Gbps from an SSD or HDD, but actual throughput depends on the motherboard's Type-E implementation.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a 20-pin USB 3.0 header to plug this cable in?

Yes, the cable connects to a 20-pin USB 3.0 header on the motherboard and provides a USB 3.1 Type-E connector for the front panel.

Will the adapter let me run two separate USB 3.0 ports from one Type-E header?

No, the Type-E interface is single-channel so it can only deliver one USB 3.0 link; the second port will operate at USB 2.0 speed.

How can I confirm the cable is delivering USB 3.0 performance after installation?

Connect a USB 3.0 storage device and check that the transfer rate reaches the 0.48 Gbps link speed reported by the system.
