Front-panel USB-C and Type-A expansion
This cable adds one USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port and one USB 3.0 Type-A port to a PC case rear slot. It connects internally to a motherboard 20-pin Type-E header and a 19-pin USB 3.0 header. The 60-centimetre copper conductors are double-shielded against EMI. Installation uses the included PCI bracket and requires no drivers.
Builders with both header types
The adapter suits systems that already provide a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-E header and a USB 3.0 19-pin header. Builders whose boards lack the 20-pin Type-E header cannot use the Type-C port at 20 Gbps. Users needing more than one Type-C or Type-A port should look elsewhere.
20 Gbps Type-C speed ceiling
The Type-C connector supports up to 20 Gbps when the motherboard controller and attached device both operate at USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. If either side runs at Gen 2, the link drops to 10 Gbps. The Type-A port is limited to 5 Gbps by the USB 3.0 header.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the 19-pin and 20-pin headers to my motherboard?
Plug the 19-pin connector into the USB 3.0 header and the 20-pin Key-A Type-E connector into the USB 3.2 header; the PCI bracket then secures the panel to a rear expansion slot.
Will the copper conductors or shielding degrade over time?
The double-shielded copper conductors are built for long service life; no periodic maintenance or replacement is required under normal desktop use.
What stops the USB-C port from reaching 20 Gbps during long transfers?
The host controller must support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2; without that specialised controller the port falls back to 10 Gbps Gen 2 speeds.
