Direct USB-C Plug-in Question

This might be a stupid question but does anyone know:

if it's possible to directly plug in usb-c cables into the expansion card ports?

Yeah sure. The USB-C card is essentially an extender meant to reduce the ware and tear on the motherboards ports and make it flush.
- reduce the wear and tear on the motherboard's ports
  
  ahhh you're right I forgot about that
  
  hmm guess buying the expansion ports might still be better for me when thinking about the long term use then
  
  thanks!🤗 +1
  
  more or less a lot of the decisions of ports ultimately is because of durability. its why some people are wondering why the audio jack wasnt included and integrated into the FW16. the answer is that if it breaks, you can replace it easily. (despite how wasteful it sounds to use a port on audio)
🤷‍♂️
- huh surprisingly that looks pretty snazzy✨
