(Solved) About the USB header on the motherboard

[mosawo]

Hello all (^o^)/
Could someone please tell me?

Question:
Is it possible to connect a USB3.2 gen2 TypeC (10Gbps) cable to a USB3.2 gen2x2 TypeC (20Gbps) header?

Description:
For example, I am asking this question assuming that the front USB of the case is USB3.2 gen2 TypeC (10Gbps) and the header on the motherboard is USB3.2 gen2x2 TypeC (20Gbps). The same is true for 3.2 gen1 TypeC (5Gbps) and 3.2 gen2 TypeC (10Gbps).
Looking at product pages and manuals for motherboards from various manufacturers, the header shapes and pin assignments seemed to be the same. Are TypeC headers backward compatible?

Are TypeC headers backward compatible?

Yes. That's the whole point of USB, it's fully backwards-compatible.

 

[DKenn]

Yes, as above, and the hardware (cable, connectors and ports) are the same for both types.

Thank you Assimilator. Thank you DKenn.
Both of you helped clear up my confusion.

In other words, if I choose a motherboard with 3.2gen2x2 header , I can use any type of USB type C on the front of the case, can't I? Since there doesn't seem to be any case with front USB4 at the moment.

Thank you again.
You two are very kind.^^/

yes. everything that fits in the connector works.
