Vszerda USB 3.1 Type E to Dual USB 3.0 19/20Pin Adapter with SATA Power Cable

SKU CH-ERRY-21886

Converts a motherboard USB 3.1 Type E header into two USB 3.0 19/20-pin headers with SATA power for front-panel devices

  • Constructioncopper
  • Converts one Type E header into two USB 3.0 19/20-pin ports
  • Dual headers support front panels, hubs, card readers and cables
  • Up to 5 Gbps throughput, ten times faster than USB 2.0
  • Simultaneous two-way data transfer on both outputs
  • Includes SATA power cable for stable operation

Connect front-panel USB 3.0 headers

This adapter connects a motherboard USB 3.1 Type E header to two USB 3.0 19/20-pin headers. It includes a SATA power cable to supply the extra current needed by dual ports. Builders adding front-panel USB 3.0 ports to a board with only a Type E connector can use this single-piece solution. The copper construction carries the 5 Gbps signalling specified for USB 3.0.

Sustained throughput with auxiliary power

The SATA power feed keeps both 20-pin outputs stable when two devices transfer data at the same time. Without the extra power, a single Type E header can sag under combined load and cause disconnects. The adapter supports simultaneous two-way traffic on each port at the full 5 Gbps rate. This prevents the speed drops that appear when a hub shares one upstream lane between multiple front-panel devices.

Verify header layout and power source

Confirm the motherboard provides a USB 3.1 Type E header, not a standard USB 3.0 19-pin or USB 2.0 header. Check that the case front-panel cables use the 19/20-pin keying matched by this board. Ensure a spare SATA power connector is available from the power supply for the adapter's auxiliary cable. The package measures 1.97 by 1.97 by 0.39 inches and weighs 8 grams.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter draw much power or run hot when the front-panel ports are active all day?

The board is a passive copper PCB with no active components, so it adds negligible heat and draws only the tiny current the connected USB 3.0 devices request.

What must already be on the motherboard for this adapter to work?

A USB 3.1 Type E header on the motherboard and a free SATA power connector from the PSU to supply the extra cable.

Will the dual 19/20-pin headers work with an older front-panel USB 3.0 cable that uses the 19-pin layout?

Yes, each output header accepts both 19-pin and 20-pin plugs, so legacy front-panel cables connect directly.
