Front-panel USB 3.1 adapter for PC builds

This adapter converts a motherboard USB 3.0 20-pin header into a USB 3.1 Type-E connector. It lets a case front-panel USB 3.1 port run at up to 5 Gbit/s without needing a motherboard that already has a native 3.1 header. The plug-in module requires no extra cables or power.

Builders adding a modern front-panel port

Suits anyone fitting a chassis with a USB 3.1 Type-C or Type-A front port to a board that only offers USB 3.0 headers. Not for systems that already provide a native USB 3.1 header, or for installations needing speeds above 5 Gbit/s.

20-pin USB 3.0 header to Type-E conversion

The single deciding spec is the 20-pin USB 3.0 header input paired with a USB 3.1 Type-E output running at up to 5 Gbit/s. If your motherboard lacks that specific header, the adapter cannot be used.

Questions about this item

Will this adapter let my older motherboard with a USB 3.0 20-pin header run a front-panel USB 3.1 Type-C port?

Yes, the adapter converts a USB 3.0 20-pin header into a USB 3.1 header so the case's USB 3.1 Type-C or Type-A port can operate at up to 5 GBit/s.

How can I verify the adapter is delivering USB 3.1 speeds after I plug it in?

Connect a USB 3.1 device to the front port and check the operating system's device manager or a benchmark tool to confirm the link is running at 5 GBit/s.

Does the package include any cables or mounting brackets, or do I need to buy them separately?

The compact adapter plugs directly into the motherboard header and requires no additional attachments, cables or brackets.
