Fervit USB 3.1 Gen1 Dual Type-C PCIe x1 Card ASM1042 Low Profile Bracket

SKU CH-WYXP-F96Y4

Adds two USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-C ports at 5 Gbps via a PCIe x1 slot using the ASM1042 chipset, includes a low-profile bracket, and works driver-free on Windows 10/11, Mac OS and Linux

  • Adds two USB-C ports at 5 Gbps via PCIe x1
  • ASM1042 chipset enables full 5 Gbps bandwidth utilisation
  • Works driver-free on Windows 10/11, Mac OS and Linux
  • Includes low-profile bracket for slim chassis builds
  • Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices

Dual Type-C Ports for PCIe x1

The Fervit USB 3.1 Gen1 card adds two USB-C female ports to a desktop through a single PCI Express x1 slot. It uses the ASM1042 chipset to deliver 5 Gbps bandwidth and 5 V power to connected devices. A low-profile bracket is included for compact chassis builds.

PCIe x1 Bus and Protocol Limits

The adapter is compliant with USB 3.1, 3.0, 2.0 and 1.1 specifications, falling back to 480 Mbps or 1.5 Mbps when required. It transfers data and power only; video, audio or thunderbolt alternate modes are not supported. High-draw peripherals such as SSDs may need an external power source.

Driver-Free on Modern Systems

Windows 10, 11, Mac OS 10.8.2 and later, and Linux operate without extra drivers, while Windows 7 still requires installation. The card suits users adding front-panel Type-C connectivity or external storage ports. It does not serve builds needing internal headers or alternate-mode video output.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a single or dual Type-C port card for adding USB 3.1 Gen1 to my desktop?

This card provides two Type-C female ports on a PCIe x1 slot, letting you connect two USB 3.1 Gen1 devices simultaneously without needing a hub.

What does the 5Gbps rating mean when I plug in a fast external SSD?

The ASM1042 chipset supports Multiple INs to fully utilise the 5Gbps bus, so real-world throughput approaches the spec limit for compatible drives.

Does the PCIe x1 interface limit the card's 5Gbps USB speed in practice?

A PCIe 2.0 x1 link exceeds 5Gbps, so the slot does not bottleneck the USB 3.1 Gen1 ports.
