Short black cable with USB Type-E male plug and 20-pin female header

AJMRTC

AJMRTC USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-E to 20Pin Cable 20cm

SKU CH-DX2W-MMY7P

Converts a motherboard USB 3.1 Type-E header to a standard 20-pin front-panel connector for case compatibility

  • Cable Length20cm
  • Converts Type-E header to classic 20-pin front USB
  • 20 cm length tidies internal wiring and aids airflow
  • Oxygen-free copper with shielding keeps full 5 Gbps speed
  • Gold-plated pins resist wear and oxidation for long life
  • Fits ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, ASRock and other mainstream boards

Purpose and Compatibility

This 20 cm internal cable converts a motherboard USB 3.1 Type‑E header into a standard 20‑pin front‑panel USB 3.1 connector. It lets builders use older or replacement chassis front‑panel ports with newer motherboards from brands such as ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, ASRock, Colorful, HP and Dell across ATX, Micro‑ATX and ITX form factors.

Decisive Specification

The cable carries a USB 3.1 Type‑E male plug on one end and a 20‑pin female header on the other, bridging the two different internal USB 3.1 interfaces. This single connector change determines whether the cable solves the header mismatch in a given build.

Capacity and Limits

The 20 cm length is sized for typical internal routing, keeping wiring tidy and airflow clear while reaching most front‑panel headers. Oxygen‑free copper with shielding maintains the full 5 Gbps USB 3.1 Gen1 data rate, but the cable cannot extend beyond its fixed length or add extra ports.

Questions about this item

What does the 5 Gbps rating mean for file transfers on my front-panel ports?

It matches the USB 3.1 Gen1 ceiling, so large files move at the full speed the motherboard header can deliver without the cable becoming the bottleneck.

Does the Type-E plug limit me to a specific header standard?

The Type-E male end fits the newer motherboard header, while the 20-pin female end accepts the classic front-panel connector, bridging the two standards without speed loss.

Will the 20 cm length reach my front panel in a mid-tower case?

The 20 cm cable is designed for internal routing; it works when the motherboard header sits close to the front-panel cut-out but may fall short in larger chassis.
