USB 2.0 to 3.1 Header Adapter

This compact adapter converts a motherboard USB 2.0 9-pin or 10-pin header into a vertical USB 3.1 front-panel header. It plugs directly into the board without cables or brackets. The copper construction provides a straight-through connection for front-panel Type-C or Type-A ports. Builders upgrading older boards can add modern front-panel connectivity instantly.

Who this suits and who it does not

It suits PC builders whose case has a USB 3.1 front-panel connector but whose motherboard only offers USB 2.0 headers. It does not suit buyers who need true USB 3.1 throughput, because the link remains limited to the 2.0 header bandwidth. It also does not suit builds that lack a spare 9-pin or 10-pin USB 2.0 header on the motherboard.

480 Mbit/s bandwidth limit

The adapter bundles the connection at up to 480 Mbit per second, matching the USB 2.0 header speed. This single figure decides whether the part meets the performance requirement for the attached front-panel device. If the device needs higher throughput, this adapter will not deliver it.
