InLine USB 3.2 adapter, internal USB-E front panel male to USB-A female

The InLine USB 3.2 adapter is an internal connector that converts a motherboard front-panel USB-E (internal USB 3.2 Gen 2 header) to an external USB-A female socket. It enables connection of external USB-A devices to the PC front-panel USB 3.2 interface and supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gb/s. The adapter is compact (28 mm × 15 mm × 7 mm) and finished in grey to match typical internal components.

Advantages

This adapter provides a simple, space-saving solution for converting an internal USB-E front-panel connector to a standard USB-A receptacle without requiring additional cables. Supporting USB 3.2 Gen 2 ensures high-speed data transfer up to 10 Gb/s. Its small dimensions make it easy to install inside a case and position behind a front panel opening.
