- Add 20 Gbps front-panel USB-C via an M-Key NVME slot
- ASM3242 controller delivers full 20 Gbps bandwidth
- Plugs directly into motherboard M-Key slot, no extra cables needed
- Data-only adapter — no video, audio or PD charging

Front-Panel USB-C Enabler
This adapter converts a spare M-Key NVME slot on the motherboard into an internal USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-E header. It lets a case front-panel USB-C port run at the full 20Gbps data rate even when the board lacks a native header. The ASM3242 chipset bridges the PCIe link to the USB bus. Installation is a direct plug into the M.2 slot with no extra cables required.
Replaces Missing Native Header
The card upgrades a system that has an unused NVME slot but no built-in 20Gbps front-panel connector. The jump is worth it when you need high-speed external storage or peripherals on the front panel and the motherboard only offers slower headers or none at all. It provides a fully-featured USB data port without occupying a PCIe expansion slot. No video, audio or Power Delivery functions are added.
For Builders With Spare M-Key Slots
This suits PC builders who have a free M-Key NVME slot and a case with a 20Gbps front-panel USB-C port but no matching motherboard header. It is not for users who need DisplayPort Alt Mode video output, audio passthrough or PD charging from that port. Buyers without an available M-Key slot or who require those missing features should look at alternative solutions.
