- Converts motherboard Type-E female to USB 3.2 header
- Up to 20Gbps data transfer for SSD and HDD
- Flexible FPC design with TPE jacket for tight spaces
- Supports 5V 3A power delivery to connected devices
- Backward compatible with USB 3.1 and Type-E motherboards
Product Identity
This CY adapter converts a motherboard IDC Type-E female header into a USB 3.2 or 3.1 front-panel header. It is intended for system builders who need to add a high-speed USB front-panel port to a board that only exposes the newer Type-E connector.
Interface Constraints
The cable carries USB data at up to 20 Gbps and supplies 5 V at 3 A for device charging. It does not transport audio, video, docking signals, Power Delivery or DisplayPort alternate mode, so it cannot drive monitors or docks through the front-panel port.
Deciding Specification
The sole determinant is whether the motherboard provides an IDC Type-E female header; without that specific connector the adapter cannot be installed and a different front-panel solution is required.
Highlights
- Converts motherboard Type-E female to USB 3.2 header
- Up to 20Gbps data transfer for SSD and HDD
- Flexible FPC design with TPE jacket for tight spaces
- Supports 5V 3A power delivery to connected devices
- Backward compatible with USB 3.1 and Type-E motherboards

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 20Gbps version or a 10Gbps cable for my motherboard header?
Choose the 20Gbps model when your board has a USB 3.2 Type-E header; it runs at the full 20Gbps rate and is backward compatible with USB 3.1 10Gbps headers.
What does the 20Gbps rating actually deliver when I plug in an SSD?
The cable passes up to 20Gbps of raw USB data from an SSD or HDD, but it carries no video, audio, docking or Power Delivery signals.
Which front-panel header standard does the IDC 20-pin connector use?
It converts a motherboard IDC Type-E female header to a USB 3.2/3.1 male header, capping the link at the 20Gbps USB 3.2 data rate.
