Fervit USB 2.0 Male to USB 3.1 Type E Female Header Adapter 1.31FT

SKU CH-6DMM-YNPJE

Converts a motherboard USB 2.0 header to a USB 3.1 Type-E female port for 480 Mbps data from SSDs or HDDs, with a 1.31 ft cable

  • Converts a USB 2.0 header to USB 3.1 Type-E for front-panel access
  • Type-E port delivers USB 2.0 speeds up to 480 Mbps from SSD or HDD
  • No audio, video, docking, PD power or DP alt mode support on Type-E
  • Compact plug-in design fits any USB 2.0 header with no extra parts
  • Vertical layout avoids interference and multi-layer PCB ensures stable transmission

Header Conversion Adapter

This Fervit adapter converts an available USB 2.0 motherboard header into a USB 3.1 Type-E female front panel socket. It is intended for builders who need a front-panel USB-C style connector but lack a native USB 3.1 header on the board. The 1.31FT cable provides flexible routing inside the chassis. It suits DIY upgrades where the motherboard only exposes legacy headers.

Sustained Data Throughput

The Type-E port delivers USB 2.0 signalling with up to 480Mbps data transfer from connected SSDs or HDDs. The multi-layer PCB integrates differential signal optimisation to maintain stable transmission during extended file operations. The adapter does not support audio, video, docking output, PD power or DP alt mode. Performance remains limited to the USB 2.0 electrical specification of the source header.

Direct Header Installation

The compact converter plugs directly into any standard USB 2.0 header without extra brackets or cables. Vertical orientation avoids interference with adjacent motherboard components. Builders should note this adapter cannot add USB 3.1 speeds or power delivery to a USB 2.0 header. It is not suitable for users who require full USB 3.1 Gen 2 bandwidth or alternate-mode video output.

Questions about this item

How much power does the adapter draw when connected to a USB 2.0 header all day?

The adapter is a passive converter that draws no additional power beyond the USB 2.0 header's standard supply, so it adds no measurable heat or noise to the system.

What motherboard header must I already have for this adapter to work?

You need a spare internal USB 2.0 header on the motherboard; the adapter plugs directly into that header and requires no extra cables or brackets.

Will a USB 3.1 Type-E front-panel device run at full speed through this adapter on an older motherboard?

No, the Type-E port is limited to USB 2.0 speeds of 480 Mbps because the adapter converts a USB 2.0 header, so newer devices will fall back to that rate.
