This PCI-E 1X internal USB expansion card is designed for motherboards lacking enough native USB3.0 19/20Pin front panel headers. It converts a spare PCI-E x1 slot into a complete USB3.0 20Pin internal female socket, allowing you to connect your chassis front USB 3.0 cable directly to activate front panel USB-A ports.
Complying with USB 3.0 specification, it delivers stable 5Gbps high-speed transmission for flash drives, card readers, external hard disks and other USB peripherals, 10 times faster than USB 2.0. The PCI-E x1 bus design is backward compatible with PCIe x4, x8 and x16 slots, no need to occupy high-speed graphics card lanes.
Equipped with a standard full-height metal mounting bracket, the card can be firmly fixed on the PC case rear baffle. Gold-plated internal pins reduce signal attenuation and anti-oxidation, ensuring long-term stable signal output during 24-hour continuous use.
It supports hot plug and works seamlessly with mainstream Windows and Linux operating systems without complicated driver setup. Perfect for DIY PC builders, office workstations and storage hosts to solve insufficient front USB header issues on old motherboards, realizing neat internal wiring layout and convenient front-panel USB access.
