Topic: Fireface UFX pin count on rear USB connector ?

Hello,
I need to breakout the USB connector on the rear of my UFX to the rear of my rack case..
As the UFX is usb3 compatible, am I correct in assuming that the rear connector utilises the extra 5 pins (Total 10).
Therefore necessitating the need for me to upgrade my Neutrik 5 pin USB2 through connector to the usb3 specification?
Thanks..
Wal...

USB 3 compatible refers to the audio operation with USB 3 chipsets operating in USB 2 mode. The UFX is USB 2 and therefore has a normal USB 2 connector.
