Manw USB 3.1 Header to USB 3.0 Type-A Female Extension Cable 20cm Type-E IDC Connector

SKU CH-DT4J-G56X6

Connects a motherboard USB 3.1 front-panel header to a standard USB 3.0 Type-A port using a 20 cm Type-E IDC connector

  • Adds a front USB 3.0 Type-A port from a USB 3.1 header
  • 20 cm cable keeps internal routing tidy
  • Type-E IDC connector fits compatible motherboard headers
  • Backwards-compatible design works with USB 3.0 devices
  • Suits boards such as ASUS ROG Maximus IX Formula or Strix Z270 series

USB 3.1 Header Extension Cable

This 20 cm cable converts an internal USB 3.1 front-panel header into a standard USB 3.0 Type-A female port. It uses a Type-E IDC connector to bridge the newer header pinout with existing peripherals. The short length keeps routing tidy inside compact chassis. Builders upgrading front-panel connectivity will find it a direct fit.

Suited for DIY builders adding legacy ports

The adapter suits enthusiasts who need a USB 3.0 Type-A socket driven from a USB 3.1 header on boards such as early 270-series platforms. It does not help users whose motherboard lacks the specific header altogether. Builders requiring longer reach or right-angle routing must source a different cable. Anyone needing USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds at the port should verify header capability first.

Type-E IDC connector enables direct fit

The bundled Type-E IDC connector mates straight to the motherboard header without soldering or extra adapters. Its pin arrangement preserves backward compatibility so existing USB 3.0 devices function normally. No driver disc or configuration utility is included; the operating system handles enumeration automatically. The 20 cm tail reduces cable clutter compared to longer generic extensions.
