Chieftec MUB-3002 3.5" USB 3.0 Front Panel, 2x USB 3.0 Type-A, Black

The CHIEFTEC MUB-3002 is a USB 3.0 front-panel expansion card designed for 3.5-inch drive bays. It adds accessible USB connectivity to the front of a chassis by extending an internal motherboard header. The unit supports the USB 3.0 standard, with data transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s, making it suitable for file transfers from external drives or cameras. It is intended for systems with limited front I/O or older USB ports. Actual performance depends on the host motherboard's native controller.

Installation requires an available motherboard header. The unit is plug-and-play and does not require manual driver installation. It draws power directly from the host interface, removing the need for additional cables. The black finish helps the unit blend with dark-coloured cases, while its design keeps cabling tidy. It secures using standard screw points found on drive bay brackets.

• Dual front-facing USB 3.0 Type-A ports for connecting multiple external devices.

• 101 mm x 137 mm x 25 mm dimensions, matching the standard 3.5-inch slot size.
