USB 3.1 Front Panel Socket Key-A Type E to USB 2.0 9Pin Mainboard Header Motherboard Extension Cable

This USB 3.1 Front Panel Socket (Key-A Type E) to USB 2.0 9-Pin motherboard header extension cable is a practical internal adapter for PC builds where you need to connect a USB Type-E (Key-A) front panel plug/socket into a standard USB 2.0 9-pin/10-pin mainboard header.

It’s commonly used when a case or internal module uses a USB 3.1/3.2 Gen1 Type-E front panel interface, but your motherboard only provides USB 2.0 internal headers—allowing the connection to function at USB 2.0 speeds while maintaining mechanical compatibility inside the chassis.

Perfect for system integrators and PC modders, this cable helps solve header mismatch issues for front I/O panels, internal USB modules, hubs, AIO controllers, RGB controllers, and other internal accessories that rely on USB header connectivity.

• Ideal for PC case front I/O conversions, internal accessories, and header expansion needs

• Compact internal form factor supports tidier cable management and reduced header strain
