Vszerda USB 3.1 Type-E Key-B Adapter

This adapter connects a motherboard USB 3.0 20-pin header to a front-panel USB 3.1 Type-E Key-B socket. It is designed for builders whose case provides a USB 3.1 Type-C port but whose motherboard lacks a native USB 3.1 header. The white Key-B connector is required; black Key-A sockets are not compatible.

Fits Any USB 3.0 Header

The compact converter plugs directly into an existing USB 3.0 header that supplies two USB 3.0 lanes. No extra cables, brackets or power connections are needed. It frees the builder from hunting for a rare motherboard with a built-in USB 3.1 header while still enabling the case front-port.

Sustained 5 GBit/s Operation

The link runs at up to 5 GBit/s under continuous transfer loads rather than only in short bursts. Copper conductors maintain signal integrity across the adapter. It suits long file moves, backups or drive imaging where the connection stays saturated for minutes at a time.

Questions about this item

What data rate does the adapter deliver when the front-panel USB 3.1 port runs continuously?

The adapter carries USB 3.1 traffic at up to 5 GBit/s, matching the bandwidth of the USB 3.0 header it plugs into.

Does the adapter generate noticeable heat or noise when left plugged in all day?

It is a passive copper connector with no active components, so it produces no fan noise and negligible heat during continuous use.

Which motherboard header must already be present for this adapter to work?

A spare USB 3.0 20-pin header on the motherboard is required; the adapter plugs directly into that header.
