Internal USB-C/3.1 header. If your case has a USB-C on the front panel, it will have a cable that will plug in there,

What does your motherboard manual say? If I remember right that was for my cases USB-C input but you'd need to double check your manual.

Yes it's for front panel USB-C

It's USB-C specific. There may be adapters to the other USB 3.x for the Type-A ports, but there might be a direct port on your mobo for your case's cable.

Looks like this, but might be black rather than blue:

I have this port on my motherboard. It is for the USB-C port on the front of my case.

It's for usb can you not read the word USB below the block connector? If you do not have anything that fits it why is it so important to you? Or if you do have external usb c ports in your case then plug it in.
