Know before you buy
This cable is designed to bridge the gap between internal motherboard headers and external USB-C ports. It allows you to connect a USB Type-C male port to a Type-E female header, effectively enabling high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 connectivity within your PC build.
Yes, the cable is engineered to support data transfer rates up to 20Gbps. However, please ensure that both your motherboard's Type-E header and the device you are connecting are compatible with the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 standard to achieve these speeds.
This cable supports a maximum current of 3A, which is suitable for powering peripherals and standard device charging. It does not support high-wattage Power Delivery (PD) charging protocols.
We offer lengths of 5cm, 15cm, and 30cm. We recommend measuring the distance between your motherboard's Type-E header and the intended mounting point for the USB-C port in your case, keeping in mind that a slightly longer cable is often easier to manage for clean cable routing.
Yes, the cable is backward compatible with older USB standards. While it is optimized for USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, it will function with devices using older USB specifications, though your transfer speeds will be limited by the slowest component in your connection chain.
