Upgrade or expand your desktop or server USB connectivity by adding four independent Type-A 5Gbps USB ports via a single PCI Express 2.0 x4 connection.

Dedicated USB 5Gbps per port

When multiple devices are connected, traditional single-bus USB 3.2 Gen 1 cards share the maximum bandwidth across all ports. Using four host controller chipsets, each port operates on its own independent channel, providing speeds of up to 5 Gbps to each USB port, reducing performance bottlenecks and effectively quadrupling the total available bandwidth to 20 Gbps.

Charging USB devices

This USB PCIe expansion card can accept additional power supply via SATA or LP4 connectors. It supports the Battery Charging 1.2 (5V 1.5A) specification and provides up to 5V 2A (10W) voltage on USB Type A ports if the bus power supply from the motherboard is insufficient.

Compatibility

PCI Express USB card drivers are installed automatically in most major operating systems, including Windows 8 and later, macOS, and Linux. The expansion card supports hardware platforms such as Intel, AMD and Apple Silicon and fits in PCI Express x4, x8 and x16 slots. Horizontal USB ports improve compatibility with different computer cases, reduce the risk of port emptying problems, and provide a wider variety of USB devices and cables.
