Short 12cm USB-C front panel adapter cable with PCIe mounting bracket

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbps USB-C Front Panel to Type-E Adapter 12cm with PCIe Bracket

SKU CH-09K4-6JDGC

Converts a USB-C front-panel header to a motherboard Type-E port at 10 Gbps using a 12 cm cable and PCIe bracket

  • 10 Gbps data speed for fast peripheral transfers
  • Converts USB-C front panel header to motherboard Type-E port
  • PCIe bracket included for secure chassis mounting
  • 12 cm short cable keeps internal routing tidy
  • Plug-and-play connection suits custom builds and upgrades

Front-panel USB-C to Type-E adapter

The SMUGDESK adapter converts a front-panel USB-C header into a motherboard USB Type-E connection. It supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 data rates of 10Gbps for high-speed peripherals. A standard PCIe bracket secures the assembly inside the chassis. The 12cm cable keeps internal routing short and tidy.

Suited for custom PC builders

Builders whose motherboard provides a USB Type-E port can use this adapter to enable a front-panel USB-C connector. The short length fits compact cases and reduces cable clutter. It is not for systems that lack a Type-E header or that require a longer internal run. Users needing an external port or a different header format should look elsewhere.

12cm cable length with PCIe bracket

The 12centimeter extension limits slack and simplifies cable management in tight builds. The included PCIe bracket mounts the adapter firmly to the case for a stable connection. This length and mounting style determine whether the adapter reaches the motherboard header in your specific chassis layout.
