USB 3.1 Gen1 PCIe x1 Card

This adapter adds two USB-C ports to a desktop computer through a PCI Express x1 slot. It uses the ASM1042 chipset to deliver up to 5Gbps transfer speeds and 5V/3A power on each port. The card ships with both a low-profile bracket and a standard-height bracket for different chassis types.

Builders needing front-panel USB-C

The board suits system integrators upgrading older cases or adding modern Type-C connectivity to workstations. It does not carry video, audio or Thunderbolt signals, so users who need display output or dock charging should look elsewhere. Windows 7 requires a driver install; Windows 10, 11, macOS 10.8.2+ and Linux work without extra software.

ASM1042 chipset with Multiple INs

The controller implements the Multiple INs feature to keep the 5Gbps bus saturated during sustained transfers. High-draw devices such as portable SSDs require the auxiliary power connector to be attached. Without that connection the ports remain limited to low-power peripherals.

Questions about this item

Does the card ship with both the 8 cm low-profile and 12 cm standard brackets so I can fit it in either case size?

Yes, the package includes both an 8 cm low-profile bracket and a 12 cm standard bracket for flexible installation.

Which ASM1042-based version should I pick if I need two reversible Type-C ports running at 5 Gbps?

This single model provides two Type-C ports with reversible plugs, each delivering up to 5 Gbps over a PCIe x1 slot.

Will the 5 Gbps rating hold when I plug in a USB 3.1 Gen 1 SSD through the Type-C port?

The ASM1042 chipset uses Multiple INs to sustain the full 5 Gbps bus bandwidth, though high-power SSDs may require an extra power connection.
