usb 3.1 header cable

[Doses13]

is there a cable you can get that plugs into the usb 3.1 header on your motherboard and gives you two usb 3.1 plugs. I want to replace the cable in the front of my case that is usb 3.0 with that cable.

Something like this https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G2178533&cm_re=usb_3_header_adapter-_-12-400-041-_-Product ? It's 3.0 thought, but I think it should work with 3.1 too

He already has USB3.0, but USB3.1 is only Type C I think.

It's possible he's referring to the "Type C" connector instead?

The motherboard chip is designed to communicate within the limits of what USB3 (normal) offers so I'm not aware of a different cable for... type C?

So please CLARIFY what it is you are asking.

Also, please not that you can already get approaching 600MBps via USB3.0 front headers and that there are very few devices that can saturate that. Possibly a Type C SSD.

I also see different places get the info wrong, stating USB3.1 is faster than USB3.0 but it's:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.1

USB3.1 Gen 1 (USB3.0), and
USB3.1 Gen 2

So front USB3 is USB3.0 (now called USB3.1 Gen1) and no changing of cable can increase the performance.

USB3.1 Type C (and any other USB3.1 Gen 2 connections) do support higher bandwidth but they must be wired to a suitably fast controller on the motherboard or addon card (there are probably PCIe addon cards that come with front mounts).

USB 3.1 type 2 (10Gbps) can be type C or type A. Type 1 (5Gbps) is what was previously called USB 3.0.
