DeLOCK PCI Express x1 USB Expansion Card, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, 5 Gbps, Silver

The Delock PCI Express x1 card adds two external 5 Gbit/s USB-A ports to a desktop computer. The card connects via a PCI Express x1 slot, providing a data transfer rate of up to 5 Gbit/s. This bandwidth is suitable for devices such as external hard drives or card readers. By plugging directly into the motherboard, the card adds connectivity without using existing on-board ports; it is a practical upgrade for systems that lack high-speed USB ports.

The card requires a 4-pin power connector from the system power supply to ensure stable operation for connected devices. Its low-profile design ensures compatibility with both standard desktop towers and slimline computer cases. It uses a Renesas chipset and is compatible with Windows 7, 8.1, 10, and 11, as well as various Linux distributions. The rear bracket has a neutral silver finish, and the card fits into a single PCI Express slot without obstructing adjacent hardware.
