I have a Maximus X Code board and noticed that it only has 1 USB 2.0 header, 1 USB 3.1 header and new to me, a USB 3.1 Gen 2 header.

I currently don't have any USB 3.1 Gen 2 devices but I could use another 2.0 or 3.1 gen header. Are there any adapters available yet that can convert a Gen 2 header to a 2.0 or Gen 1 header? I haven't had any luck finding any.

There's not alot of, if any, uses of the internal usb 3.1 Gen 2 header yet besides cases I think. If you need more internal USB ports there's plenty of PCI-E cards that's probably a way cheaper solution.

I just bought an adapter cable (abt. 10 eur.) from eBay to connect USB31. Gen2 header of HERO X to case front panel connectors. Works as expected.
