USB 3.1 Type-E to dual 9-pin header adapter

This adapter converts a motherboard 20-pin USB 3.1 Type-E front-panel header into two standard 9-pin USB 2.0 headers. It includes a Type-E cable, a Type-A cable and a small PCBA with a USB 2.0 hub chipset. The assembly plugs directly into the motherboard and is secured with adhesive backing for a permanent internal fit.

Upgrade from single header to two USB 2.0 ports

The device is useful when a case provides more front-panel USB ports than the motherboard has native headers. It splits one Type-E connector into two 9-pin connections, each delivering up to 480 Mbps and 500 mA at 5 V. The jump is worth it when you need to connect both front-panel ports without sacrificing a rear I/O bracket or adding a PCIe card.

Check motherboard header type and case cable pinout

Verify the board has a 20-pin Type-E header and that your front-panel cables use standard 9-pin, 10-pin or 4-pin IDC connectors. The adapter only operates at USB 2.0 speeds despite the Type-E input, so devices requiring 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps will not reach those rates. Builders needing more than two ports or full USB 3.0 bandwidth should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does the 20-pin Type-E plug on this adapter fit a standard motherboard USB 3.1 front-panel header?

Yes, the Type-E connector is designed to plug directly into a 20-pin USB 3.1 front-panel header on the motherboard.

What is the common mistake when plugging the two 9-pin cables into the motherboard?

Reversing the 9-pin connectors on the USB 2.0 headers; the keyed pin must align with the missing pin hole on the board.

Will the adhesive pad on the PCBA hold the hub securely inside a metal chassis over time?

The supplied back glue is intended for direct fixing to the motherboard or chassis; clean the surface first for a lasting bond.
