DeLock PCI Express x1 Expansion Card, 4 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A Ports

The DeLOCK PCI Express x1 card (89297) adds four external USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports to a desktop computer. The card uses a PCIe x1 interface to provide additional connectivity for peripherals such as external storage enclosures and docking stations. It supports the USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard, allowing for data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbit/s—offering faster data exchange than older USB standards when used with compatible hardware. The card must be installed in an internal PCI Express slot.

An internal SATA power connector is required to power high-demand USB devices connected to the external ports. This supplemental power ensures that devices such as portable hard drives function without drawing excessive power from the motherboard. The package includes drivers for supported platforms. The hardware features a silver mounting bracket and a black circuit board. It is compatible with various Windows operating systems and Linux environments.
