Vszerda USB 3.0 19-pin header to Type-E A-Key adapter

SKU CH-DRK9-C2ENC

Converts a motherboard USB 3.0 19-pin header to a USB 3.1/3.2 Gen 2 Type-E Key-A port for front-panel USB-C connectivity at up to 5Gbps

  • Converts a 19-pin header to a front-panel USB-C Type-E port
  • Delivers up to 5 Gbps throughput from the motherboard's USB 3.0 header
  • Supports USB 3.1 and 3.2 Gen 2 Type-E Key-A connectors on the front panel
  • Works with any motherboard equipped with a USB 3.0 19-pin header
  • Provides up to 5 V / 2 A power for connected front-panel USB-C devices

Header-to-Type-E adapter for front-panel USB-C

This adapter converts a motherboard USB 3.0 19-pin header into a USB 3.1/3.2 Gen 2 Type-E Key-A port, letting a case front-panel USB-C connector attach to boards that lack a native Type-E header. It passes the upstream 5 Gbps signal through without changing its speed. The device draws power from the header and is rated for a combined 5 V / 2 A across two USB 3.0 ports. It works on any motherboard with a 19-pin USB 3.0 header under Windows or Linux.

Builders adding USB-C to cases without a Type-E

The part suits system builders whose chassis provides a front-panel USB-C cable but whose motherboard only exposes the older 19-pin header. It is not for boards that already include a native Type-E header, nor for builds that need more than the 5 Gbps throughput the header supplies. The 5 V / 2 A current limit also means it cannot support higher-power USB-C charging scenarios.

5 Gbps pass-through speed from the 19-pin header

The adapter does not increase bandwidth; it simply relays the motherboard's existing USB 3.0 5 Gbps signal to the Type-E Key-A connector. If the header runs at 5 Gbps, the front-panel port runs at 5 Gbps. This single figure determines whether the connection meets the performance needs of attached devices.

Questions about this item

Will the Vszerda adapter run at USB 3.0 5 Gbps speeds on my existing motherboard 19-pin header?

Yes, the adapter passes through the motherboard's USB 3.0 Gen 1 signal, so the front-panel Type-E port operates at up to 5 Gbps.

How can I confirm the front-panel USB-C port is active after installing the Vszerda adapter?

Plug a USB 3.0 device into the front Type-C port and verify it appears in Device Manager or lsusb at SuperSpeed 5 Gbps.

Does the Vszerda package include a front-panel USB-C cable, or must I use the one built into my case?

The adapter only converts the on-board 19-pin header to a Type-E Key A port; you must connect your case's existing front-panel USB-C cable.
