Microconnect MC-USB3.1-2C PCIe USB Expansion Card 2x USB 3.1 Type-C

The Microconnect MC-USB3.1-2C is a PCIe expansion card that adds two USB 3.1/3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports to a desktop computer. It installs into a motherboard PCIe slot to provide extra connectivity for external devices, making it an ideal upgrade for systems lacking sufficient Type-C ports. The card enables high-speed data transfer between the computer and modern peripherals, helping to bring older systems up to date with current hardware standards.

The reversible Type-C ports simplify the process of attaching accessories, even in low-light or awkward spaces. Because the card is bus-powered, it draws energy directly from the PCIe slot, removing the need for external power cables in most configurations. This keeps the internal setup tidy and ensures the ports remain firmly in place during cable swaps. The card uses a standard bracket for secure mounting to the chassis. These additional ports are suitable for data-intensive tasks, such as connecting external solid-state drives or high-bandwidth hubs.

• ASMedia ASM1142 chipset: manages USB data signals and protocol handling.
• Lightweight design: at 100 g, it minimizes physical stress on the motherboard expansion slot.
• Internal form factor: provides a stable, permanent upgrade inside the PC case.
• Reversible Type-C interface: allows for easy, orientation-free connection of devices.
• Bus-powered: draws power directly from the PCIe slot.
• Standard bracket mounting: ensures the ports are securely fixed to the chassis for frequent use.
