What is USB Type E?

Introduction
USB 3.1 Type E is a new motherboard interface standard that extends various USB ports from a PC case. It supports high-speed PCI signals through USB-C cables or other connections, enabling data transfer rates up to USB 3.1 Gen2. Compatible with select high-end motherboards like ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Formula and others listed. Flykantech.com offers related products like the USB35-2A2C-10G hub and USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-E cable.
Details

USB 3.1 Type E is not a USB standard yet (at least according to the USB standards site) but is a new standard for motherboards that allows many different types of USB ports to go out of a PC case, It allows superspeed PCI signals to run through USB-C cables or many other types of connections from the motherboard to the case. It also allows up to 100 watts of power to be sent down the (short) cable. I believe that power is controlled via the USB-PD standard. PCI-E connectors that are usually only on motherboards can be converted to USB-E connectors fairly easily. It is a motherboard interface that supports the USB3.1 Gen2 protocol. Similar to SATA, it is welded on the motherboard and is not directly exposed to the user. It needs to be converted to other types of USB interfaces (such as TYPE-C ) to work, the actual USB version used to transfer data depends on the version supported by the adapter.
