Vszerda USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-E to USB 3.0 19/20-pin header adapter motherboard accessory

SKU CH-YZ24-0NX1Y

Converts a motherboard USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-E header to a 19-pin or 20-pin USB 3.0 front-panel connector

  • Connect SSD or HDD at up to 20Gbps via the Type-E port
  • Add a front-panel USB 3.0 19-pin or 20-pin header from a Type-E connector
  • Use a 19-pin to Type-C cable for USB 3.0 or 2.0 on the front side
  • Use a 19-pin to dual Type-A cable giving one USB 3.0 port and one USB 2.0 port
  • Single Type-E channel limits output to one USB 3.0 connection, not two independent ports

Front-panel Type-E adapter

This adapter connects a motherboard USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-E header to a front-panel USB 3.0 19-pin or 20-pin cable. It provides a single-channel USB 3.0 connection for cases with legacy front-panel ports. The link runs at up to 20 Gbps when the board header supports that speed.

Builders adding front USB-A or USB-C

Suitable for system builders who need to wire an existing Type-E header to a case front panel that uses a 19-pin or 20-pin connector. It does not split one Type-E header into two independent USB 3.0 ports. Buyers needing simultaneous dual USB 3.0 ports from a single header should look elsewhere.

Single-channel Type-E limitation

The Type-E header is designed for single-channel output, so it can only deliver the bandwidth of one USB 3.0 interface. This constraint means two separate USB 3.0 ports cannot operate at full speed from this adapter. The actual transfer rate depends on the motherboard header capability.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter include the 19-pin or 20-pin cables, or must they be purchased separately?

The adapter is sold as a single header converter; 19-pin or 20-pin front-panel cables are not included and must be bought separately.

Which cable should I choose if I want USB 3.0 on a Type-C front port?

Use a 19-pin to Type-C cable; the front side of the Type-C connector will deliver USB 3.0 while the reverse side is limited to USB 2.0.

What does the 20 Gbps rating mean when the adapter is connected to a motherboard Type-E header?

The 20 Gbps figure is the Type-E port ceiling; actual throughput will match the motherboard header speed and the adapter does not increase it beyond USB 3.0 capability.
