Chenyang USB 3.0 19Pin Motherboard Header to USB 3.1 Type C USB C Female Adapter Cable with Bracket 40cm Review

If your computer lacks a USB type C port but has an internal USB 3.0 header, then the Chenyang USB 3.0 19Pin Motherboard Header to USB 3.1 Type C USB C Female Adapter Cable with Bracket 40cm might be the solution that you are looking for. This adapter cable from Chenyang promises to convert your motherboard's internal USB 3.0 port to an external USB type C socket, enabling you to take advantage of USB type C's faster data transfer rates and reversible plug orientation.

Design and Features

The Chenyang USB 3.0 19Pin Motherboard Header to USB 3.1 Type C USB C Female Adapter Cable comes in a compact design. It has a length of 40cm, providing enough flexibility to position the USB type C port where you need it. The adapter also comes with a bracket that allows you to install the USB type C port on the back of your computer case.

The connector side of the adapter features a 19-pin motherboard header for the USB 3.0 connection, while the opposite side has a USB type C female port. The adapter supports USB 3.0 transfer rates of up to 5Gbps, which is ten times faster than USB 2.0. However, the adapter does not support USB-C PD/video/audio functions, so you won't be able to charge your USB-C device through this adapter or use it to output video or audio signals.

Compatibility and Installation

To use the Chenyang USB 3.0 19Pin Motherboard Header to USB 3.1 Type C USB C Female Adapter Cable, your motherboard must have an available USB 3.0 header with a 19-pin connector. Check your motherboard's manual to confirm if it has this feature before purchasing the adapter. The adapter is compatible with various operating systems, including Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Installation of the adapter is quite simple. First, shut down your computer and unplug it from the power source. Next, locate the USB header on your motherboard and connect the 19-pin cable to it. Then, attach the bracket to the USB type C port's side of the adapter using screws. Finally, attach the bracket to the back of your computer case.

Performance

In our tests, we found that the Chenyang USB 3.0 19Pin Motherboard Header to USB 3.1 Type C USB C Female Adapter Cable performed well. We connected various USB type C devices, including smartphones, external drives, and USB hubs, and found that they connected quickly and reliably. We also performed file transfer tests using a USB 3.0 flash drive and a USB type C external hard drive and found that the transfer speed was indeed faster when using the adapter than when using a standard USB 2.0 port.

However, we did notice that the adapter got somewhat warm after extended use. While this may not be a problem, we recommend keeping an eye on the adapter's temperature, especially if you are using it with a high-powered device.

Conclusion

Overall, the Chenyang USB 3.0 19Pin Motherboard Header to USB 3.1 Type C USB C Female Adapter Cable with Bracket 40cm is an excellent solution if your computer lacks a USB type C port. The adapter provides fast and reliable data transfer rates, and the included bracket makes it easy to install.
