SMUGDESK N33R 50cm USB 3.1 Type-E to Type-C front panel header extension cable

SKU CH-RBB6-HAHQP MPN N33R

Converts a motherboard USB 3.1 Type-E header to a front-panel USB-C port with a 50 cm cable and mounting bracket for ATX, MATX or ITX cases

  • Converts motherboard Type-E header to front-panel USB-C port
  • Mounting panel secures neatly to chassis expansion slot
  • USB 3.1 high-speed transmission for flash drives and external SSDs
  • 50cm length allows tidy internal routing in ATX, MATX and ITX cases
  • Designed for motherboards with Type-E header — not compatible with USB 3.0 20Pin or 9Pin headers

Type-E to USB-C front-panel adapter

This 50 cm cable converts a motherboard USB 3.1 Type-E header into a standard USB-C port on the case front. A mounting panel secures the connector in an expansion slot for a tidy installation. It supports USB 3.1 data speeds for flash drives, card readers and external SSDs. The length suits ATX, MATX and ITX chassis routing.

Builders adding front USB-C to Type-E boards

Ideal for DIY assemblers whose motherboard has a Type-E header but whose case lacks a front USB-C port. Not suitable for systems that only offer USB 3.0 20-pin or 9-pin headers. Buyers needing more than one additional USB-C port should look elsewhere.

Requires USB 3.1 Type-E header

The single deciding specification is the presence of a USB 3.1 Type-E header on the motherboard. Without it the adapter cannot be connected. Confirm this header exists before purchase.

Questions about this item

My motherboard only has a USB 3.0 20-pin header — can I still use this cable?

No, the N33R requires a USB 3.1 Type-E header and is not compatible with USB 3.0 20-pin or 9-pin headers.

I plan to route the cable behind the motherboard tray in a full-tower ATX case — is 50 cm enough?

The 50 cm length is optimised for internal chassis routing and suits ATX, MATX and ITX builds.

After installing the mount panel in an expansion slot, how can I verify the front-port is running at USB 3.1 speed?

Connect a USB 3.1 flash drive and confirm the OS reports a 3.1 link; the cable supports USB 3.1 high-speed data transmission.
