Front-panel USB 3.1 to USB-C adapter

This 40 cm cable converts a motherboard USB 3.1 front-panel header into a panel-mounted USB-C female port. It suits builders adding a modern front-panel Type-C connection to cases that lack one. The UC-037 is not for systems without a USB 3.1 header or for users needing an internal Type-A port instead.

USB 3.1 header constraints

The USB 3.1 front-panel header uses the USB 3.0 pin set plus additional signals and requires a different header than USB 3.0. No official header specification had been released at the time of design, so compatibility depends on motherboard implementation. Early boards such as the ASUS ROG Maximus IX Formula and Strix Z270I/Z270G were among the first to provide this header.

Panel-mount build and daily use

A Type-C female connector with integrated mounting screw secures the port to a chassis cut-out for a flush finish. The 40 cm length reaches front-panel headers on typical ATX and micro-ATX boards without strain. The cable is not for rear I/O expansion or for extending an existing front-panel Type-C port.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 40 cm length or a different cable for my front-panel build?

The 40 cm length fits most mid-tower cases running from the motherboard header to a front-panel cut-out; choose it when the header is within that reach.

What speed will I actually get from the USB 3.1 header on my motherboard?

The header uses the USB 3.0 pin set plus extra pins, so real-world throughput matches USB 3.0 rates until the motherboard firmware fully enables the 3.1 specification.

Does the USB 3.1 front-panel header use a standard connector that fits any board?

The header follows the early 3.1 pin layout found on boards such as the ASUS ROG Maximus IX Formula and STRIX Z270I or Z270G; it is not the older USB 3.0 header.
