Adaptador PCI-Express VALUE 15.99.2117 – 4x USB 3.2 Gen1 (5 Gbit/s)

VALUE PCI-Express adapter 4x USB 3.2 Gen1 adds four high-speed USB ports to a desktop PC via a PCIe slot. The card supports USB 3.2 Gen1 data rates up to 5 Gbit/s per port, enabling fast transfers for external SSDs, HDDs, flash drives and USB peripherals. It is intended for workstations and home systems that need additional downstream USB ports or an upgrade from legacy USB versions.

Advantages

This PCI-Express adapter provides four independent USB 3.2 Gen1 ports with transfer speeds up to 5 Gbit/s, improving connectivity for storage devices and peripherals. The low-profile bracket option and standard bracket (if included) allow installation in different ATX and small-form-factor enclosures. The card uses a PCIe interface for reliable bandwidth and system compatibility, and it supports plug-and-play operation with common operating systems, reducing setup time.

Key specifications

• Interface: PCI-Express (PCIe) card
• Downstream ports: 4 × USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A
• Maximum data rate: up to 5 Gbit/s per port
• Form factor: full-height with low-profile compatibility
• Power: bus-powered with optional supplemental power depending on connected devices
• Compatibility: desktop PC motherboards with available PCIe slot

How to use

Power off the PC and unplug it from mains before installation. Open the computer case, locate an available PCI-Express slot and remove the corresponding slot cover. Insert the adapter firmly into the PCIe slot and secure it with the case screw; fit the appropriate bracket height if required. Close the case, reconnect power and boot the system. Install any necessary drivers provided by the operating system or the adapter manufacturer. After drivers are installed, connect USB devices to the new ports for immediate use.

Recommendations

For stable operation, connect high-current devices such as multiple external drives to ports with supplemental power if available, and avoid using all ports simultaneously at maximum throughput on older PCIe lanes. Ensure the system BIOS and OS USB drivers are up to date to guarantee compatibility and optimal transfer speeds.
