ModMyMods USB 3.0 19 Pin Header to USB 3.1 Type E Front Panel Header Converter (CO1006)

This mini adapter board converts a USB 3.0 19-pin header of the motherboard into a USB 3.1 Type-E front panel header. Plug it straight onto the USB 3.0 header and connect the Type-E cable of the case front panel, usually for a front USB-C port, to the adapter. No cables or other parts are needed.

Front USB-C on a board without Type-E

Cases with a front USB-C port use a Type-E cable that needs the matching header on the motherboard. Older and simpler boards have only USB 3.0 19-pin headers. The adapter lets the front panel cable plug into such a board directly.

Compact design

The blue 19-pin socket sits under a small black board and the Type-E port on top, so the adapter stacks straight up from the header; the port stands 7.9 mm above the board.

Speed

The front port runs at USB 3.0 speed, up to 5 Gbps, because that is the limit of the USB 3.0 header that feeds it.
