DELOCK Low Profile PCI Express x4 USB Expansion Card 4 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A

The Delock PCIe x4 low-profile card adds four external USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) Type-A ports to desktop systems. The card uses a PCIe 2.0 x4 interface and provides four external USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, each supporting data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbit/s. Four independent controllers prevent bandwidth sharing between devices, allowing multiple high-bandwidth peripherals, such as external storage drives or docking stations, to operate at full speed simultaneously. Its low-profile design fits into small-form-factor cases and standard desktop towers.

Connectivity is provided by four external USB Type-A ports on the rear bracket. The card does not require an additional power cable from the computer's power supply unit. Onboard configuration allows for per-port current limiting to protect connected devices, and adjustable settings enable the card to provide up to 1.5 A per port for high-draw peripherals. The unit requires a free PCI Express x4, x8, or x16 slot.
