Motherboard USB 3.0 to Type-E Adapter

This adapter converts a motherboard USB 3.0 19-pin or 20-pin header into a USB 3.1 Type-E connector. It enables a PC case front-panel USB-C port to run at USB 3.1 speeds even when the board lacks a native Type-E header. The EJ179V chipset handles the signal conversion internally. No extra cables or power connections are required.

Angled Copper Build Fits Tight Headers

The 90-degree angled plug lets the adapter seat into a USB 3.0 header where surrounding components leave little clearance. Copper construction carries the two 5 Gbps lanes from the motherboard header to the Type-E receptacle. The compact shape installs directly on the board without brackets or screws. It suits builders adding a front-panel Type-C port to an older or mid-range motherboard.

Two 5 Gbps Lanes Bundled to 10 Gbps

The adapter aggregates two USB 3.0 data lanes into a single USB 3.1 Type-E header rated at 10 Gbps. Actual throughput depends on the motherboard header implementation and the connected device. Boards that provide only one USB 3.0 lane will not reach the full 10 Gbps rate. The converter does not add controller functions beyond the EJ179V logic.

Questions about this item

What speed does the USB 3.1 Type-E header deliver when fed from a 20-pin USB 3.0 header?

The adapter bundles two 5 Gbps lanes into a single 10 Gbps USB 3.1 Type-E connection.

Will the 90-degree plug clear tall components around my motherboard's 19-pin or 20-pin header?

The right-angle design lets the adapter fit in tight spaces where a straight connector would hit nearby parts.

Do I need drivers or extra power cables to install the EJ179V adapter?

No drivers or auxiliary power are required; just plug the adapter into the USB 3.0 header and connect the case's Type-E cable.
