Ruth's sister PCIe 1 to 4 USB 3.0 adapter internal power cable

SKU CH-QX2E-7N4NC

Adds four USB 3.0 ports through a single PCIe x1 slot with LED status indication

  • Adds four USB 3.0 ports from a single PCIe x1 slot
  • Powered directly from the PCIe bus for stable operation
  • Works in x1, x4, x8 and x16 slots
  • LED indicator shows power and activity status
  • Compact 120 × 67 × 57 mm board fits tight cases

PCIe x1 to 4-port USB 3.0 adapter

This internal riser card converts a single PCI Express x1 slot into four USB 3.0 ports for additional connectivity. It fits x4, x8 and x16 slots as well, drawing power directly from the PCIe bus. A built-in LED shows the operating status at a glance. The board works with DOS, Linux and Windows XP through Windows 10.

Four USB 3.0 ports from one slot

The card adds four USB 3.0 ports, each running at the 3.0 specification speed for fast data transfers. Total bandwidth is shared across the single x1 upstream link, so sustained throughput on all four ports simultaneously will be limited by that link. It suits peripherals such as external drives, capture devices or multiple sensors that do not all saturate the bus at once.

Upgrade from a single USB header

This adapter replaces a motherboard with only one spare USB header or a case front panel that lacks enough ports. The jump is worthwhile when you need several high-speed USB devices internally and have a free PCIe x1 or larger slot. It does not suit builds that require more than four ports or need dedicated bandwidth per device.

Questions about this item

Will this PCIe x1 to 4-port USB 3.0 adapter fit in the x4, x8 or x16 slots on my older motherboard?

Yes, the x1 bus interface is compatible with x4, x8 and x16 graphics-card slots so you can install it in any of those.

How can I verify the adapter is powered and operating once installed?

A built-in LED indicator lights up to show the work status, letting you confirm it is active at a glance.

Does the package include the USB 3.0 riser cables or only the multiplier board?

The adapter board provides four PCIe USB ports; riser cables for those ports are not included and must be purchased separately.
