Microconnect MC-PCIE-69 7-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 PCI Express x1 Expansion Card

The Microconnect MC-PCIE-69 PCIe x1 7-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 (formerly 3.1 Gen 1) Type-A expansion card adds extra peripheral connectivity to desktop systems. It plugs into a PCI Express slot to provide seven high-speed USB ports. By using the USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard, the card offers higher bandwidth than older connections, allowing users with limited onboard ports to connect more external devices. The card can be installed in any desktop computer with a free PCIe x1 slot, increasing the available input/output options for storage or networking.

The card draws power directly from the system's power supply via a 15-pin SATA connector. This ensures stable power for connected peripherals without overloading the motherboard bus. The PCB is finished in black and green and weighs 63 grams. It requires a standard PCI Express x1 slot (or larger) and is designed so that all additional ports are accessible from the rear of the computer case.

• 7 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports: provides connectivity for storage devices and external adapters.
• 5 Gbit/s maximum data transfer rate: supports high-speed throughput for large file transfers and data-intensive tasks.
• Dual VL805 and VL812 chipsets: manages data traffic across all ports to maintain performance.
• SATA 15-pin power interface: supplies dedicated power to the card for reliable operation of bus-powered hardware.
• PCIe x1 form factor: compatible with any standard PCI Express slot, from x1 to x16.
• 63 g total weight: lightweight construction that puts minimal stress on the motherboard slot.
