What AOK Front Panels Offer

Reclaim your empty drive bay

Unused 3.5” and 5.25” optical drive bays become functional USB hubs with front-facing ports — no cables trailing around the back of your PC. Fits standard ATX, Micro-ATX and tower cases.

SuperSpeed USB at the front

USB 3.2 Gen 2 at 10Gbps means fast storage, peripherals, and data transfer directly from the front panel. Backward compatible with USB 3.0 / 2.0 / 1.1 devices.

HD Audio & Microphone access

Front-facing 3.5mm headphone and microphone jacks eliminate the need to reach around to the rear panel. Connects to the motherboard’s standard HD Audio header.
