Fervit USB 3.1 Type-E to 2×9-pin USB 2.0 adapter

SKU CH-H8BQ-TS5BE

Converts a motherboard USB 3.1 Type-E header into two USB 2.0 9-pin ports with a built-in hub running at 480 Mbps

  • Extends a Type-E header to two 9-pin ports
  • Built-in USB 2.0 hub chipset delivers 480 Mbps bandwidth
  • Each port supplies 500 mA at 5 V for reliable power
  • Adhesive backing secures the adapter to motherboard or chassis
  • Includes adapter, cable and PCBA for immediate installation

Front-panel Type-E to dual 9-pin adapter

This adapter converts a motherboard's 20-pin USB 3.1 Type-E header into two standard 9-pin USB 2.0 connectors. It is aimed at system builders who need extra front-panel ports but lack spare classic headers. A built-in hub chipset manages the split without additional drivers. The compact board includes adhesive backing for secure mounting inside the chassis.

Upgrade from single-header limitation

The device replaces the need for a motherboard with multiple native USB 2.0 headers or a separate PCIe expansion card. The jump is worthwhile when a case provides more front-panel ports than the board's classic headers can serve. It lets you populate both front-panel connectors using the newer Type-E interface already present on many modern boards.

Limited to USB 2.0 throughput

Although the source header is USB 3.1, the hub chipset operates at USB 2.0 speeds, capping each port at 480 Mbps. Each connector supplies up to 500 mA at 5 V, so high-draw devices may need powered alternatives. The adapter does not expose USB 3.0 or 3.1 bandwidth to the front panel, and it cannot add more than two ports from one header.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the 20-pin Type-E header need on the motherboard?

The compact adapter plugs directly into the 20-pin Type-E header and requires no extra brackets; its back glue lets you fix it flat on the mainboard or chassis.

Which step do builders often miss when connecting the two 9-pin leads?

Each 9-pin lead carries only USB 2.0 signals at 480 Mbps, so plug them into the motherboard's 9-pin USB 2.0 headers — not the 10-pin or USB 3.0 headers.

When should the included PCBA be replaced if ports become unreliable?

The on-board USB 2.0 hub chipset supplies 5 V 500 mA per port; if a port stops delivering that current or drops below 480 Mbps, swap the whole adapter assembly.
