Overview: Add seven external USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectors (4 USB Type-A and 3 USB Type-C) to a desktop PC with this PCIe expansion card. It supports a combined bandwidth of up to 20Gbps and is designed for connecting peripherals such as keyboards, mice, external HDD/SSD enclosures, CD/DVD drives, webcams, printers, scanners, game controllers, VR sensors, digital cameras, and more. Bandwidth and limitations: The ports are divided into two bandwidth groups — one group (one USB Type-C + three USB Type-A) shares 10Gbps, while the remaining three ports share the other 10Gbps, for a total of 20Gbps. When a single port is used alone it can achieve up to 10Gbps. Important: this card only supports data transfer. It does NOT provide PD fast charging, BC 1.2 charging, video signal conversion (DP/HDMI/VGA), or USB-C Thunderbolt protocol. Power: No external power adapter is required. The card supplies up to 5V/12A maximum to connected devices for higher-power peripherals (NOT support BC 1.2 charging or Power Delivery). Intended for device use only (examples: HDD/SSD enclosure, VR sensor). Compatibility and drivers: Compatible with Windows 7/8/10/11 (32/64 bit) and Mac OS 10.8.2 and above. Ideal for systems such as HP windows 11 desktop, Dell 8950, MacPro 4.1/5.1, Lenovo P520. Note: Windows XP/Vista/7, Server require driver installation, while Windows 10/11, Mac OS and Linux do not need drivers. If your computer is not recognized under Windows 11 or Mac OS after driver installation, please contact us for support. Installation notes: Power off and unplug the PC, remove the case, and insert the card into an available PCI-E slot. Because the card’s USB-A ports are mounted vertically, align USB drives/cables carefully when inserting. Secure with screws, replace the case, power on, and install drivers if needed. If your chassis has a narrow rear slot area, you may need to cut the crossbar between two slots with small sheet-metal pliers to fit the card. Reliability: Installing the card directly into a PCI Express slot provides a stable, high-speed connection without the disconnect issues sometimes seen with external USB hubs. Simple, quick installation makes it an easy way to expand USB 3.2 connectivity on a standard desktop. What’s in the box: 1 x 7 Ports USB PCIe Card, 1 x CD drive, 1 x mounting screws and 1 x user manual. The product includes 1 years-product-care and 24/7 technical-support.
