Adds a front-panel USB-C port to a motherboard USB 3.1 header at 10 Gbps with 100 W power delivery
This cable brings a USB 3.1 Type-C port to the front of a desktop case by connecting a Type-E front-panel header to a panel-mount female Type-C connector. It suits builders adding modern front-panel connectivity to a compatible motherboard without opening the case again later. The 26 cm flat TPE cable routes easily behind the motherboard tray.
Rated for USB 3.1 Gen 2, the link maintains up to 10 Gbps during long file transfers rather than only in short bursts. Backward compatibility with USB 3.1 Gen 1 ensures older peripherals still operate at their rated speed. The cable supports up to 100 W power delivery for fast-charging capable devices.
A supplied mount screw locks the Type-C female connector firmly to the case cut-out, preventing the port from pushing in when cables are inserted or removed. The super-thin flat cable reduces strain on the motherboard header and keeps airflow paths clear. Plug-and-play operation requires no drivers or BIOS changes.

The 26 cm TPE cable is rated for 10 Gbps and up to 100 W, so it handles continuous full-speed transfers without extra cooling or power concerns.
You need a USB 3.1 front-panel header (Type E) on the motherboard; boards such as the ASUS ROG Maximus IX Formula or Strix Z270I/Z270G include it.
Yes, the adapter is backwards compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.0), so legacy devices run at up to 5 Gbps through the Type C female port.
