Three Configurations for Every Build

Because there are so many shapes and sizes, we have three styles to choose from:

  • Vertical USB 3.0 20-Pin Header to Type-E Adapter – Slim fit design makes it the perfect upgrade for chassis that fit in various case sizes!
  • Down Angle USB 3.0 20‑Pin Header to Type‑E Adapter – This bent-down adapter (25.7×27.2×12.8mm) can reach into tight angles from behind the drive bays or at the lengthwise connector locations on graphics cards!
  • Up Angle USB 3.0 20‑Pin Header to Type‑E Adapter – The upward version has the same footprint as the downward version, for better routing above interfering components.

All models are based on a high‑quality black PCB and precision‑engineered connectors to ensure stable, low-loss signal transmission.

Robust Design, Long‑Term Reliability

Made in our ISO 9001:2015-certified facility, every adapter is tested for mechanical stability and electrical performance under extreme temperature and humidity conditions. Gold‑plated contacts provide corrosion protection and ensure a reliable connection over thousands of mating cycles. The ultra-sturdy shell provides flex protection during installation, while the “fit‑once and use‑for-life” promise maintains performance for decades to come.

Installation guide: Aligning and seating the adapter onto the motherboard's USB 3.0 20-pin header.

Easy Squeezy, No Skills Necessary

Installation is a simple matter of shutting down your system, waiting 10 seconds, plugging the adapter between the header and the cable leading from the front panel to the motherboard, and then restarting. No software configuration is needed. Non‑technical users will also be able to easily add a high-speed Type‑C port and enjoy its benefits, including the convenience of the front-panel connector.

Why Upgrade Your Front Panel? ​

High‑end chassis, in fact, often come with front USB‑C ports to accommodate next‑gen devices, but in the absence of a compatible motherboard header, these ports generally languish unused. Our adapter eliminates this waste, enabling you to reuse your chassis investment while future-proofing with systems for faster peripherals and storage.
