Fervit

Fervit USB-C & USB 3.0 Hub 4 Ports Front Panel 20Pin 3.5" Bay Cable

SKU CH-4JNP-S9K3P

Adds four USB 3.0 ports — two Type-C and two Type-A — to a 3.5″ front bay via a 20-pin motherboard header, delivering up to 5 Gbps and 900 mA per port

  • GL3520 chipset ensures stable USB 3.0 operation
  • Four ports deliver up to 900mA each for power-hungry devices
  • Dual USB-C and dual USB-A ports cover legacy and modern cables
  • 5Gbps Super-Speed plus 480Mbps and 1.5Mbps fallback keeps every device connected
  • 20-pin motherboard connector fits a standard 3.5-inch front-panel bay

Front-Panel Hub for 3.5" Bay

This Fervit hub adds four USB 3.0 ports to a desktop front panel using a standard 20-pin motherboard header. It fits a 3.5-inch floppy bay and provides two Type-C and two Type-A sockets. The integrated GL3520 chipset handles the USB 3.0 specification. It suits builders who need modern front-panel connectivity without opening the case side panel.

Sustained Transfer Behaviour

Each port delivers up to 900 mA and maintains USB 3.0 Super-Speed at 5 Gbps during extended file moves. The hub also falls back to USB 2.0 Hi-Speed at 480 Mbps and USB 1.1 Low-Speed at 1.5 Mbps for legacy devices. Because the chipset shares a single 20-pin header, total bandwidth is divided among active ports. Users running multiple high-throughput drives simultaneously will see per-port throughput drop.

Deciding Specification: 20-Pin Header

The hub requires one free USB 3.0 20-pin header on the motherboard; without it the device cannot function. Systems that lack this internal connector cannot use the hub. Buyers who need more than four front ports or who have no spare 20-pin header should look for a different solution.

Questions about this item

Does the GL3520 chipset run hot or draw much power when all four ports are used continuously?

The hub complies with USB 3.0 and delivers up to 900 mA per port, so total draw stays within the motherboard 20-pin header limits and the GL3520 chipset does not require active cooling.

What motherboard header and drive bay must I already have to install this front panel?

You need a spare internal USB 3.0 20-pin header on the motherboard and an empty 3.5 inch floppy bay in the chassis.

Will my older USB 2.0 flash drives and 1.1 peripherals work at their rated speeds through the Type-A ports?

Yes, the hub supports USB 2.0 Hi-Speed at 480 Mbps and USB 1.1 Low-Speed at 1.5 Mbps alongside the 5 Gbps Super-Speed mode.
