USB 3.1 Type-E adapter for front panel

This Vszerda adapter converts a motherboard USB 3.0 19-pin header into a USB 3.1 Type-E 20-pin header. It enables a PC case front-panel USB 3.1 port to operate even when the motherboard lacks a native Type-E connector. The compact PCB measures 29 by 25 by 10 mm and plugs directly into the existing header without extra cables or brackets. It suits builders adding a modern front-panel Type-C or Type-A port to an older or mid-range board.

Sustained 10 Gbit/s throughput on two lanes

The adapter routes two USB 3.0 lanes from the motherboard header to the Type-E connector, delivering up to 10 Gbit/s bandwidth continuously. Copper construction maintains signal integrity during long file transfers or sustained peripheral use. No active circuitry or external power is required, so thermal behaviour matches the host header. Compatibility spans Windows XP through 10, 32- and 64-bit, plus macOS and Linux.

Upgrades boards missing a native Type-E header

This adapter replaces the need for a motherboard with a built-in USB 3.1 Type-E header. It is the solution when a case provides a USB 3.1 front-panel port but the board only offers the older 19-pin USB 3.0 header. The jump is worth it for any build that needs front-panel Type-C or Type-A connectivity without replacing the motherboard. It does not add headers where none exist, nor does it convert USB 2.0 headers.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter add any noticeable heat or power draw when the front-panel USB 3.1 port runs all day?

The passive copper construction draws no extra power and produces no measurable heat beyond the motherboard's own USB 3.0 header supply.

What must my motherboard already have for this adapter to work?

A standard USB 3.0 19-pin front-panel header; the adapter plugs directly into it and converts the signals to a USB 3.1 Type-E 20-pin connector.

Will this work with an older case that only has a USB 3.0 front-panel port?

No — the adapter converts a motherboard USB 3.0 header to a USB 3.1 Type-E header, so the case must already provide a USB 3.1 Type-C or Type-A front-panel connector.
