  • Supports 5 Gbps transfers on every port

Front-panel USB hub for 3.5" bay

This Fervit hub adds four front-panel ports to a desktop PC through a single motherboard header. It fits a standard 3.5 inch floppy-bay slot and connects to either a USB 3.1 or USB 3.0 20-pin header. The built-in GL3520 chipset manages traffic across all ports. It suits builders who want Type-C and Type-A access without using rear I/O.

Four ports sharing 5 Gbps and 900 mA each

Two USB 3.0 Type-C and two USB 3.0 Type-A ports run at Super-Speed 5 Gbps, with backward compatibility to Hi-Speed 480 Mbps and Low-Speed 1.5 Mbps. Each port can deliver up to 900 mA, so phones, drives and peripherals charge at the same rate. Total bandwidth is shared across the four ports, so simultaneous heavy transfers will contend for the single 5 Gbps link.

Requires USB 3.1 or 3.0 20-pin motherboard header

The hub only works when the motherboard provides a compatible front-panel header. Systems with only USB 2.0 headers or no front-panel header cannot use this device. No external power adapter is included, so all power comes from the header itself.

Questions about this item

Will the 20-pin USB 3.1 front-panel header on this hub work with the USB 3.0-20pin header on my older motherboard?

Yes, the hub accepts both a USB 3.1 front-panel header and a USB 3.0-20pin header, so it will connect to your older motherboard header.

How can I verify the hub is running at USB 3.0 Super-Speed 5Gbps after installation?

Check the device manager or a USB speed test tool; each port should enumerate at Super-Speed 5Gbps and support up to 900mA current draw.

Does the package include the 3.5-inch bay mounting hardware, or must I buy screws separately?

The hub fits a standard 3.5-inch floppy bay; mounting screws are typically supplied with the PC case, not with this cable.
