Front-Panel USB Expansion

This PCIe expansion card adds external USB 3.1 and USB 2.0 sockets to a desktop front panel. It is designed for builders who need more convenient access to flash drives, external hard drives and everyday USB peripherals. The card installs in any free PCIe slot and works with Windows and Linux without extra drivers.

Build Integration

The adapter fits PCIe x1, x4, x8 and x16 slots on most ATX and MATX motherboards. Separated high-speed and regular channels keep mixed peripherals running steadily. A simple front-panel wiring layout routes the new ports to the chassis front without modifying the case.
