Fervit USB 3.0 Header to USB 3.1 Type-E Adapter 90 Degree

SKU CH-SQ0K-171W5

Converts a motherboard USB 3.0 header to a USB 3.1 Type-E port with a 90-degree angled design for tight spaces and up to 10 Gbit/s throughput

  • Converts a USB 3.0 motherboard header into a USB 3.1 Type-E port for modern case front panels
  • Supports up to 10 Gbit/s throughput using two USB 3.0 lanes from the existing header
  • 90-degree down-angled design fits tight spaces around crowded motherboard headers
  • Plugs directly into any USB 3.0 header with no extra cables or power required
  • Enables full USB 3.1 Type-E functionality on cases that need it without a native motherboard header

Product Purpose

This adapter converts a motherboard USB 3.0 header into a USB 3.1 Type-E connector. It allows a case front-panel USB 3.1 port to operate at full speed without a native Type-E header on the board. Builders upgrading older platforms or using boards lacking the newer header will find it useful. It is not for systems that already provide a native USB 3.1 front-panel header.

Installation Notes

The compact plug inserts directly into any standard USB 3.0 header and requires no extra cables or brackets. The 90-degree down-angled design helps when clearance around the header is tight. Ensure the motherboard header supplies two USB 3.0 lanes so the adapter can deliver a full USB 3.1 connection.

Interface Limits

The link runs at up to 10 Gbit/s using the USB 3.1 Gen 2 bandwidth ceiling. Actual throughput depends on the motherboard header implementation and the connected device. The adapter does not add power delivery or alternate modes beyond the standard USB 3.1 data specification.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the adapter is delivering 10 Gbit/s after plugging it into my motherboard USB 3.0 header?

Connect a USB 3.1 device to the Type-E port and check the link speed in your OS device manager or run a benchmark; the adapter bundles two USB 3.0 lanes to reach up to 10 Gbit/s.

What comes in the box and do I need any extra cables or brackets to install it?

The package contains only the 90-degree angled adapter; it plugs directly into a standard motherboard USB 3.0 header with no extra attachments required.

Should I choose a straight or 90-degree version for a tight header layout?

This model is the 90-degree down-angled variant, designed to fit where space around the header is limited; a straight version would be a different product.
