PCIe USB 3.0 Type-C expansion card

The EN-Labs PCIEU3C20SC adds one external USB 3.0 Type-C port and a dedicated 2.4 A quick-charge port to a desktop system. Two internal 20-pin headers provide four additional USB 3.0 connections for front-panel bays. A 15-pin SATA power connector supplies the extra current required for charging. The card fits any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot.

Suits builders adding front-panel Type-C

This card is aimed at PC builders who want a modern Type-C port and a high-current charge-only port without replacing the motherboard. It does not suit users who need data transfer on the charge port or who cannot spare a SATA power lead from the PSU. Systems without a free PCIe slot or without SATA power cables should look at alternative solutions.

NEC UPD720201 controller with 5.0 Gbps USB 3.0

The onboard NEC UPD720201 host controller delivers up to 5.0 Gbps SuperSpeed data rates and supports XHCI 1.0. It is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. Driver media is included for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and Linux. The single controller handles all external and internal ports simultaneously.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot to install this EN-Labs card?

Yes, the card fits any PCIe 1x, 4x, 8x or 16x slot and is compatible with the PCI-Express 2.0 standard.

Will my USB 2.0 devices work at full speed when plugged into the Type-C port?

The port follows the Super Speed USB 3.0 5Gbps standard and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices.

How can I verify the 2.4A charging port is delivering power after I connect the SATA cable?

Attach a device that shows charge current; the port supplies 5V at up to 2.4A when the SATA power connector is linked to the PSU.
