MicroConnect MC-PCIE-ASM1142-CA Internal PCI Express 2.0 USB Expansion Card, 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C

The MicroConnect MC-PCIE-ASM1142-CA is an internal USB expansion card for desktop PCs. It occupies a single PCI Express slot and uses the PCIe 2.0 standard to interface with the motherboard. The card allows for the addition of modern connectors to older systems or an increase in the total number of available ports. It supports the USB 3.2 Gen 1 specification for high-bandwidth data transfer with devices such as external storage drives, and utilizes the ASMedia ASM1142 chipset.

The card features two external ports accessible from the rear of the computer case. One is a standard Type-A connector for legacy compatibility, while the second is a reversible Type-C port for modern hardware. It is compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10, as well as Linux systems. The card draws its power and data through the PCIe slot and requires only this single connection for installation.
