SKU CH-Z58X-WP5F2

Adds two USB-A and two Type-C ports at 5 Gbps via a PCIe x1 slot, with stable power for multiple devices

  • Add four USB ports with a single PCIe card
  • USB 3.2 Gen1 delivers up to 5Gbps throughput
  • Fits any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot
  • Works on Windows and Linux without extra drivers
  • Independent power circuit keeps multiple devices stable

Expand desktop connectivity

This PCIe expansion card adds two USB-A and two Type-C ports to a desktop computer through a single PCIe x1 slot. It operates at up to 5Gbps under the USB 3.2 Gen1 specification, which is faster than USB 2.0 for file transfers and peripheral data. The card suits users who need more external ports for SSD enclosures, flash drives, webcams, mobile devices and other USB peripherals. It supports Windows and Linux systems for office, DIY and industrial use.

Simple PCIe x1 installation

The card uses a standard PCI Express x1 interface and fits into x1, x4, x8 or x16 motherboard slots, giving flexible options for different chassis and mainboards. Mainstream Windows systems recognise it without separate driver installation, and Linux is also supported for plug-and-play operation. An independent power-supply circuit delivers stable output when multiple devices are connected simultaneously, reducing the risk of disconnections caused by insufficient power. Ensure the bracket aligns with the case opening and the card seats fully in the slot.

Check for a free PCIe slot

Verify that the motherboard has an available PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and that the case provides a matching rear bracket opening for the four external ports. Confirm the operating system is a supported Windows or Linux version. The card draws power from the PCIe slot and its onboard power circuit, so no extra power connectors are required. Buyers who need internal USB headers or more than four external ports should consider a different solution.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the card is running at 5Gbps after installation?

In Windows Device Manager, check that the controller appears under Universal Serial Bus controllers as a USB 3.2 Gen1 or USB 3.0 device, then transfer a large file to a connected SSD enclosure and confirm speeds approach 5Gbps.

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The package includes the PCIe expansion card with two USB-A and two Type-C ports; no cables, brackets or external power adapters are included, so obtain any required internal power cables or mounting screws separately.

Which slot version should I use on my motherboard?

The card uses a standard PCIe x1 interface and works in any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot, so choose the shortest available slot that fits your chassis layout.
