Cable Gender Changer Akasa AK-CBUB51-BK USB 3.0 19-pin to USB 3.1 A Blue

The Akasa AK-CBUB51-BK Cable Gender Changer USB 3.0 19-pin to USB 3.1 A Blue provides a straightforward solution for adapting a motherboard or device USB 3.0 19-pin header to a standard USB 3.1 Type-A receptacle. The cable features a blue housing and is designed to maintain the USB 3.x signal pathways required for high-speed data transfer between internal headers and external devices, enabling compatibility between different connector types without modifying hardware.

Advantages

This gender changer preserves the electrical connections of a USB 3.0 19-pin header while presenting a USB 3.1 Type-A interface, allowing direct attachment of external USB-A devices to an internal header. The compact inline adapter reduces the need for additional brackets or internal rewiring and supports the physical form factor commonly used in desktop builds and custom enclosures. The blue colour provides easy visual identification among internal cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting front-panel USB-A ports to a motherboard USB 3.0 19-pin header
• Adapting internal USB headers to external USB 3.1 Type-A devices
• Temporary or permanent internal cable routing in desktop PCs and workstations

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB 3.0 19-pin header
• Connector 2: USB 3.1 Type-A (female)
• Colour: Blue housing

How to use

Power off the system and disconnect mains power before installation. Locate the motherboard USB 3.0 19-pin header and align the adapter's 19-pin connector with the header orientation. Firmly but gently press the connector onto the header until seated. Route the USB 3.1 Type-A receptacle to the desired location inside the case or to a panel where an external device will be connected. After installation, restore power and verify that connected USB devices are recognised by the operating system.

Recommendations

Use this adapter only with compatible USB 3.0 19-pin headers and USB-A devices. Avoid forcing connectors at incorrect angles to prevent pin damage. For reliable high-speed operation, keep cable runs and internal routing free from sharp bends and strong electromagnetic interference sources.
