Type-E to Type-C Cable
Bring an internal USB Type-E header to an accessible, securely mounted USB-C receptacle. The BC-DAF001 series gives system builders six round-wire, flat-wire, and bracket configurations for fitting the connection to the enclosure—not the other way around.
- Internal USB Type-E male to USB-C female; screw-mount receptacle.
- USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection rated up to 10Gbps, subject to the motherboard, device, and complete cable path.
- Standard lengths: 0.3m, 0.5m and 0.8m.
- Panel-mount, low-profile, full-height and dual-port bracket options.
- Charging capability depends on the host header; this cable does not add a USB Power Delivery controller.
A USB-C Connection Matched to Your Enclosure
Type-E to Type-C Cable for Motherboard USB-C Ports
A USB-C opening in a chassis is only useful when the cable behind it matches the motherboard and mounting space. This Type-E to Type-C cable connects a compatible internal USB header to a USB-C female port. Choose the round or flat lead, then select direct panel mounting or the appropriate expansion-slot bracket.
For OEM builds, send the motherboard model, available header details, and enclosure drawing with your inquiry. These three items help us review the connection before you commit to a sample or repeat order. You can also compare other header arrangements in our USB Type-E cable range.

Compare the six BC-DAF001 configurations below. Bracket style changes the mounting arrangement, not the motherboard’s capabilities. Check the exact port cutout, fastening points, and cable route before selecting a model.
Choose the round-lead BC-DAF001-R when your enclosure already has a suitable USB-C opening and screw-mount positions. It connects one internal Type-E header to one accessible receptacle without a slot bracket. Confirm the panel cutout and installed cable route before ordering.
The BC-DAF001-R12 combines a round lead with a full-height bracket, leaving the chassis expansion slot open. Use it to make an internal Type-E connection accessible without adding a PCIe controller card. Check bracket fit and header clearance in the intended enclosure.
The flat-lead BC-DAF001-F suits a prepared panel opening where a low-profile cable route is useful. It comes with a screw-mount USB-C receptacle but no slot bracket. Review the mounting holes and leave enough slack to avoid pulling on the internal Type-E header.
Select BC-DAF001-F08 for a compatible half-height expansion-slot opening. The flat lead helps organize the internal routing from the motherboard header to the USB-C receptacle. Match the bracket to the chassis drawing; a small motherboard does not automatically require this bracket size.
BC-DAF001-F12 pairs a flat lead with a full-height bracket for a single accessible USB-C port. It is a practical option when the cable needs to follow an enclosure panel. Confirm the bracket opening, cable length, and motherboard header before approving the sample.
BC-DAF001-DF12 provides two USB-C receptacles on one full-height bracket. Each port has a separate flat lead and Type-E plug, so you need two host connections for two working ports. This assembly is not a USB hub or a power-combining cable.
Two USB-C Ports Need Two Host Connections
The BC-DAF001-DF12 places two USB-C receptacles on one full-height bracket, but each receptacle has its own flat lead and Type-E plug. Plan for two suitable host connections if both ports must operate. This is not a one-header-to-two-port hub, a power combiner, or a PCIe controller card.
That distinction matters when designing a small system: an enclosure may have room for two ports while the motherboard has only one suitable header. Send a photo of the board and the intended bracket position so we can check the available connections first.
It is a motherboard-side connection commonly used for a USB-C front-panel port. Check the board manual for its exact capabilities. The internal USB connector is unrelated to IEC mains-power connectors, even when sellers use overlapping names.
They fit different chassis expansion-slot openings. Choose the bracket from the enclosure drawing and verify its fastening geometry. The motherboard form factor alone does not determine the correct bracket height.
No. The older USB-A front-panel header uses a different connector. A separate adapter or a different assembly may be appropriate, but it will not upgrade the original header’s speed or power capabilities.
No. A USB-C receptacle does not provide Thunderbolt or DisplayPort support. This product is an internal USB header cable; don’t specify a display connection without confirming the host interface and a compatible assembly.
Power off and disconnect the system according to its service instructions. Before connecting the assembly, check header orientation, panel or bracket fit, and the complete cable route. Do not force the plug or leave the lead against a fan or sharp edge.
Do not assume laptop-charging capability. The motherboard header determines the available power, and this passive cable does not add a USB Power Delivery controller. Provide the required charging profile and board model for a specific compatibility review.
No. BC-DAF001-R and BC-DAF001-F have screw-mount USB-C receptacles without slot brackets. The other four configurations include the bracket arrangements shown in the model table. Confirm the exact assembly in your quotation.
No. Select the shape that suits the available route and service access. A flat cable can lie along a panel, while a round cable may fit a different path more naturally. Neither shape alone guarantees a higher data rate or charging capability.
Compatible USB 2.0 devices can operate at their supported speed through a suitable host and cable path. Confirm any application-specific device requirements; a newer connector does not make a USB 2.0 peripheral run at 10Gbps.
Yes, send the required length and mounting drawing for review. Include the measuring points, header orientation, and nearby obstructions. Agree on the approved configuration and validation requirements before production.
Send the selected BC-DAF001 model, motherboard or header details, enclosure drawing, cable length, and estimated quantity. Add any specific data, power, or test requirements. This lets the quotation address the actual installation instead of assuming every USB-C port has the same capabilities.

How to Specify a Motherboard USB-C Header Cable
Start with the board, not the USB-C socket
Check the motherboard manual for the internal header type, supported USB data rate, and available power. A Type-E header is not the older 19/20-position USB-A front-panel header, and it is unrelated to an IEC mains-power connector. Do not force a similar-looking plug into place. A cable adapts the physical connection; it does not upgrade the host controller.
Decide where the port will be accessed
The no-bracket models suit a prepared panel opening with compatible screw positions. Bracket versions bring the port to an enclosure expansion slot opening, usually at the rear. They take up mechanical bracket space but don’t plug into a PCIe electrical slot. Choose half-height or full-height from the chassis drawing—not simply from the motherboard form factor.
Allow room for routing and service
Measure the installed route from the header to the receptacle, including a practical allowance for servicing. Flat cable can be easier to place along a panel; round cable may suit a different routing path. Neither format should be sharply folded, trapped under a cover, or pulled against the header. Keep the lead clear of fans, and ensure adjacent connectors remain accessible.
Set realistic data and power requirements
Up to 10Gbps describes the supported USB link class, not guaranteed file-copy speed. The host, connected device, external cable, and storage performance all affect the result. Likewise, a USB-C receptacle does not automatically provide laptop charging, DisplayPort video, or Thunderbolt. Define these requirements separately and check the motherboard’s capabilities before ordering.
Approve a sample in the intended system
For a production build, review the drawing and evaluate a sample with the actual board, enclosure, and peripherals. Check mechanical fit, connector orientation, device detection, and transfer stability in the intended arrangement. If a particular compliance test or certification is required, specify it in the inquiry and request the applicable evidence; it should not be assumed from the connector name.
Send a focused RFQ
- Motherboard model and internal-header identification.
- BC-DAF001 model, port count, and required cable length.
- Panel cutout or bracket drawing, including nearby clearance.
- Connected devices, required data rate, and charging expectations.
