  • 50 cm cable length suits compact or full-size chassis builds

  • Early USB 3.1 header implementation matches ROG Maximus IX Formula specification

50 cm USB 3.1 Header Cable

This 50 cm cable adapts a motherboard USB 3.1 front-panel header to a standard USB 3.0 Type-A female port for panel mounting. It bridges the newer header pin-out to existing front-panel or drive-bay connectors. The link is intended for internal chassis routing in desktop builds.

Builders adding a front Type-A port

Suits anyone extending a USB 3.0 front-panel port to a board equipped with the early USB 3.1 header found on Z270 boards such as the ROG Maximus IX Formula or Strix Z270I and Z270G. Not for systems that only provide the older 19-pin USB 3.0 header, because the pin arrangement differs.

USB 3.1 header to USB 3.0 Type-A

The cable converts the USB 3.1 front-panel header, which uses the USB 3.0 pin set plus additional connections, to a single USB 3.0 Type-A female receptacle. This specific header-to-port adaptation is the deciding factor for compatibility.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 50 cm length or a longer one for my case?

The 50 cm cable reaches most front-panel cut-outs from a bottom-mounted motherboard header; choose a longer version only if your routing path is unusually long.

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

The header uses the USB 3.0 pin set, so connected devices run at USB 3.0 rates even though the motherboard connector is labelled 3.1.

Does the 20-pin USB 3.1 header work with a standard USB 3.0 Type-A port?

Yes — the cable converts the 20-pin header to a single USB 3.0 Type-A female socket, maintaining backward compatibility with existing front-panel ports.
