  • Front-panel USB-C and dual USB-A ports for easy peripheral access

Front-panel hub for 3.5" bay

This adapter fits a standard 3.5 inch floppy drive bay and adds a USB Type C port two USB-A ports and an SD card reader to the front of a desktop PC. It also provides a 4-pole 3.5 mm audio jack for headphone and microphone connections. The unit is aimed at builders who want convenient front access to removable media and audio without opening the case.

Check motherboard headers and bay space

You need one free USB 19-pin internal header for the hub and card reader and one free HD-Audio 9-pin header for the audio jack. Verify that your case has an unused 3.5 inch external bay and that the two-foot internal cables can reach the motherboard headers. Note that the SD and TF slots cannot be used at the same time.

Replaces separate front-panel modules

This single device replaces a standalone USB front panel a separate card reader and a front audio module saving bay space and internal headers. The upgrade is worthwhile when your current case lacks a Type C port or when you want to consolidate multiple front-panel functions into one 3.5 inch slot.

Questions about this item

Does the panel include cables and brackets, or must I buy a USB 19-pin cable and HD-Audio 9-pin cable separately?

The panel ships with a 2 ft cable that connects to one USB 19-pin header and one HD-Audio 9-pin header on the motherboard; no extra cables are required.

Should I choose the USB Type-C port or the two USB-A ports for my external SSD?

Both USB-A ports and the Type-C port share the same USB 3.2 Gen1 5 Gbps bandwidth, so pick whichever connector matches your drive cable.

What real-world transfer rate can I expect when reading an SD card through the built-in reader?

The reader is limited to USB 3.0 speeds and the SD and Micro SD slots cannot operate at the same time, so actual throughput will follow the card's own USB 3.0 rating.
