Product details

The PCIe to USB 3.1 Type-C expansion card with a 19-pin front panel header is an internal expansion card designed to add additional USB 3.1 ports and a front panel connection for case USB to a desktop PC. It is installed via a PCI Express slot and typically provides a USB-C port as well as an internal 19-pin header for front USB ports. This allows for high-speed connections of both modern USB-C devices and case front ports.

The card operates under the USB 3.1 Gen 1 standard with a data transfer rate of up to 5 Gbit/s and is backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. Additionally, many models feature a separate power supply for stable performance under higher power demands.
