USB 3.0 to USB 3.1 TypeE header cable
This 50 cm extension cable converts a motherboard USB 3.0 internal header to a USB 3.1 TypeE front-panel port. It enables fast data transfer for front-panel USB-C devices without requiring drivers. The practical length supports tidy internal routing inside desktop cases. It is designed for custom PC builds and workstation upgrades.
Suits builders adding front-panel USB-C
This cable suits system builders who need to connect a modern front-panel USB-C port to an older USB 3.0 motherboard header. It works for gaming rigs and workstations requiring a clean internal extension. It does not suit users whose motherboards already provide a native USB 3.1 TypeE header or who need an external peripheral cable. Buyers wanting longer reach or right-angle connectors should look elsewhere.
Check header type and case space
Verify that your motherboard has a standard 19-pin USB 3.0 internal header before ordering. Confirm the front-panel device uses a USB 3.1 TypeE connector. Ensure the 50 cm length fits your case layout and cable routing path. No software installation is required for operation.

Questions about this item
What motherboard header must I already have for this cable to connect?
Your motherboard needs a USB 3.0 internal header to plug the cable into.
Will this extension work with a case that only has a USB 3.0 front-panel port?
No, the cable converts a USB 3.0 header to a USB 3.1 TypeE port, so the case must provide a TypeE connector.
How can I confirm the 50cm cable is delivering USB 3.x speeds after installation?
Connect a USB 3.x flash drive to the front-panel port and verify the transfer rate matches USB 3.x specifications in your OS.
