7-Port PCIe USB 3.0 Expansion Card
This internal add-in card adds seven SuperSpeed USB ports to a desktop PC through a single PCI Express slot. It targets builders and upgraders who have exhausted the native headers on their motherboard and need more connections for external drives, webcams and other peripherals. The mixed layout provides two USB-C and five USB-A sockets on one bracket.
Fits standard PCIe x1 through x16 slots
The card installs in any standard PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and ships with both a full-height metal bracket and an optional low-profile bracket for slim chassis. It draws power directly from the slot so no extra cables are required, and the universal drivers built into Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, XP and mainstream Linux distributions enable plug-and-play operation without separate software installation.
Seven ports sharing 5 Gbps Gen 1 bandwidth
Each port supports up to 5 Gbps transfer speed, ten times faster than USB 2.0, making the card suitable for high-speed flash drives and external SSDs. All seven ports share the single PCIe lane bandwidth, so sustained maximum throughput across every port simultaneously is not achievable. Built-in per-port overcurrent, short-circuit and surge protection guards connected devices during heavy multi-device loads.

Questions about this item
What limits sustained full-load throughput on the USB 3.0 Gen1 interface?
The PCIe lane width and the 5 Gbps Gen1 signalling cap the aggregate bandwidth when every port is active simultaneously.
How much heat and power does the card draw during all-day operation with seven devices attached?
On-board protection circuits keep each port within safe current limits, so the card runs cool and draws only the power the connected peripherals require.
Which motherboard slot and bracket style must the system already provide for this card to install?
A free PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot plus either a full-height or low-profile bracket opening, both brackets are included in the package.
