Front-panel USB 3.1 Type-E adapter

This 40 cm cable converts a motherboard USB 3.1 Type-E 20-pin header into a single USB-C female port with a panel-mount screw. It is intended for PC builders who want a front-panel USB-C connector on cases that only provide the older header style.

USB 3.1 header constraints

The USB 3.1 front-panel header uses the USB 3.0 pin set plus additional pins and is designed to be backwards compatible. No official header specification has been released, so compatibility depends on the motherboard implementing the same 20-pin layout used on early boards such as the ASUS ROG Maximus IX Formula and Strix Z270 models.

Data-only USB-C port

The USB-C female connector supports USB data and a maximum of 5 V at 900 mA power delivery. It does not support USB-C Power Delivery, video output or audio functions, so it cannot charge laptops or drive displays.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 40 cm or 50 cm cable for my front-panel USB-C header?

The product listing shows both 40 cm and 50 cm lengths; choose the shorter 40 cm run for a tidy build or the 50 cm version if you need extra reach inside a larger chassis.

What does the USB 3.1 label actually deliver once the cable is plugged into my motherboard header?

You get USB 3.1 data speeds through the 20-pin Type-E header, but the USB-C port only supplies up to 5 V / 900 mA and does not support Power Delivery, video or audio.

How does the 20-pin Type-E header differ from the older USB 3.0 header in practice?

The Type-E header uses the USB 3.0 pin set plus additional pins, making it backward compatible with USB 3.0 while enabling the USB 3.1 front-panel connection on boards such as the ASUS ROG Maximus IX Formula or Strix Z270 models.
