Type C USB3.1 Front Panel Socket USB 3.0 19 Pin to TYPE-E 20Pin Header Extension Adapter

This adapter is the perfect solution for upgrading your PC's front panel connectivity. It converts an available motherboard USB 3.0 19-pin header into a modern USB 3.1 Type-E 20-pin header. This allows you to utilize the high-speed USB Type-C port on newer computer cases, even if your motherboard lacks native support, such as those with AMD AM4 or Intel 2066 sockets. The compact device bundles two 5 Gbps data lanes to deliver full USB 3.1 performance up to 10 Gbit/s. It plugs directly into the motherboard header, offering a convenient and efficient upgrade path.

What customers say

This adapter is highly valued as an indispensable solution for PC builders needing to connect modern Type C front panel ports to older motherboards lacking the native Type E header. Users appreciate this cost effective workaround, avoiding expensive upgrades. Installation is generally simple and direct. The primary point of friction involves performance expectations. Despite the USB 3.1 designation, the adapter is bottlenecked by the source USB 3.0 header, limiting speeds to 5Gbps, which disappoints some users expecting full 10Gbps throughput. For its intended purpose of bridging this specific compatibility gap, the adapter is rated very well, successfully modernizing older system builds.
