Front-panel USB 3.2 Type-E extender

This Vszerda cable converts an onboard IDC 20-pin Type-E female header into a matching male-to-female extension. It is intended for builders who need to route a front-panel USB 3.2 or 3.1 Gen 2 connection to a case port or internal device.

20 Gbps data ceiling and power limit

The link tops out at 20 Gbps, double the 10 Gbps rate of USB 3.1, and carries up to 5 V at 3 A for device charging. It does not carry audio, video, DisplayPort alt-mode or Power Delivery signals, so it cannot drive docks or monitors.

Verify header and device compatibility

Confirm the motherboard provides an IDC 20-pin Type-E female header; USB 3.0 headers are not compatible. Ensure the attached peripheral only requires USB data and 5 V 3 A power, as no alternate modes or higher-voltage delivery are supported.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 20 Gbps version or a slower one for my motherboard header?

The cable is a single 20 Gbps Type-E design; it converts an existing IDC Type-E female header into a USB 3.2/3.1 header and is backward compatible with 10 Gbps USB 3.1.

What does the 20 Gbps rating actually deliver when I plug in an SSD?

It supports up to 20 Gbps USB data transfer from an SSD or HDD, twice the 10 Gbps ceiling of USB 3.1, but carries no video, docking or Power Delivery signals.

Which interface standard does the IDC 20-pin connector follow and what does it limit?

It follows the USB 3.2 Type-E front-panel header standard, capping data at 20 Gbps and power at 5 V/3 A while excluding DisplayPort alt mode and PD charging.
