5-Port PCIe USB 3.0 Expansion Card

This PCI Express x1 card adds three USB-A and two USB-C ports to a desktop computer, delivering up to 5 Gbps of shared bandwidth. It is suited for users who need more connections for keyboards, mice, printers, smartphones or game controllers without replacing the motherboard.

Check PCIe slot and driver requirements

The card fits PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slots compliant with PCIe 2.0 or 3.0 and draws power directly from the slot, so no extra power cable is required. You must install the supplied Renesas or VLI USB 3.0 driver on Windows 7, 8, 10, 11 or macOS 10.8.2 and later before the ports become active.

Sustained transfer behaviour and limits

Each port can reach 5 Gbps when used alone, but the total throughput is shared across all five ports and limited by the single PCIe 2.0 x1 uplink. The card provides up to 12 A of combined 5 V current for bus-powered devices such as drive enclosures, though it does not support Power Delivery fast charging, video output or Thunderbolt protocol.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy any cables or power adapters separately?

The package includes the PCIe card, a driver CD, mounting screws and a user manual. The card draws power from the PCI Express slot so no external power adapter is required.

Which version of the ESTONE PCIE23A2C should I choose for a desktop with a free PCIe x1 slot?

This single model provides three USB-A and two USB-C ports running at up to 5 Gbps each and fits any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot on PCIe 2.0 or 3.0 motherboards.

What does the 5 Gbps figure mean when I plug in a USB 3.0 SSD enclosure?

Each port can deliver up to 5 Gbps when used alone; real-world throughput depends on the connected device and the PCIe 2.0 x1 lane’s total bandwidth.
