PCI-E 1x to USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-E Card

This adapter adds a USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-E front-panel header to a desktop PC through an available PCI-E 1x slot. It uses the ASM1042A controller to provide a single high-speed connection for modern chassis. The card fits x1, x4, x8 or x16 slots and includes a half-height bracket for slim builds.

Builders adding front-panel USB-C

The card suits system integrators and enthusiasts who need a Type-E header for a case with a front USB-C port. It works with Windows XP through 11 and Linux without extra drivers. Buyers whose motherboard already offers a Type-E header or who require multiple front ports will not benefit from this single-port design.

ASM1042A controller with 5 Gbps throughput

The onboard ASM1042A chip delivers SuperSpeed USB at 5 Gbps over the PCI-E 1x link. This specification determines whether the bandwidth meets the needs of connected storage or peripherals. No other interface or protocol is supported by this expansion card.
