Three-adapter kit for USB 3.1 front-panel headers

This kit supplies three angled adapters that convert a motherboard USB 3.1 Type-E header to Type-C, Type-A or another Type-E connector. Each adapter supports 10 Gbps data rates and is intended for builders adding or relocating front-panel ports on a desktop system.

USB 3.1 Type-E header requirement

USB 3.1 front-panel ports need a Type-E header, which uses the USB 3.0 pin set plus additional connections. The design is backward compatible with USB 3.0 headers, but a USB 3.0 header cannot deliver the full 10 Gbps bandwidth that USB 3.1 provides.

Check motherboard header type before ordering

Verify that your motherboard exposes a USB 3.1 Type-E front-panel header; a standard USB 3.0 header will fit physically but limits speed to 5 Gbps. Ensure the case front panel has a matching Type-C, Type-A or Type-E port for the adapter you plan to use.

Questions about this item

Which adapter should I choose for a USB 3.1 Type-C front panel port?

Use the Type-E female to Type-C male adapter; it supports 10 Gbps and connects a Type-E motherboard header to a Type-C front panel connector.

What does the 10 Gbps rating mean when the adapter is installed in a PC?

It allows up to 10 Gbps data transfer between a USB 3.1 Gen 2 front panel port and a Type-E motherboard header, matching the header's maximum throughput.

Does the Type-E header interface limit the 10 Gbps speed in practice?

The Type-E header carries the full USB 3.1 pin set, so the adapter does not reduce the 10 Gbps capability; speed is capped only by the connected port and controller.
