WHY CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT?

• Seven-port expansion in one slot Adding seven external USB Type-A ports from a single PCIe card helps organizations connect multiple peripherals without consuming several expansion slots.
• SuperSpeed connectivity USB 3.0 provides up to 5Gbps interface bandwidth, making the card suitable for high-throughput peripherals such as compatible external storage devices.
• Flexible PCIe installation Although designed around a PCIe x1 interface, the card can operate in compatible x1, x4, x8 and x16 physical slots, providing greater flexibility when selecting an available expansion position.
• Backward compatibility Support for USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices allows existing peripherals to remain in service while the host desktop gains newer USB 3.0 connectivity.
• Additional peripheral capacity The card is useful when a workstation has insufficient motherboard USB ports for scanners, printers, storage devices, hubs and other business peripherals.
• Optional SATA power The SATA power connection can provide additional power support for connected USB devices, helping when bus-powered peripherals place greater demands on the expansion card.
• Practical workstation lifecycle extension Adding connectivity can extend the useful life of an existing desktop without requiring a motherboard replacement solely to obtain more USB ports.
