Fervit Mini PCI-E USB Adapter for Cellular Cards

This Fervit adapter converts a Mini PCI Express slot into a USB interface with a SIM card holder. It accepts 6-pin or 8-pin SIM connectors and draws no extra power. The board is designed for USB-bus Mini Cards such as 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, HSPA, WiMAX, GPS or WWAN modems. Installation is plug-and-play and supports hot-swapping once the modem's own software drivers are present.

For adding mobile broadband to a desktop via Mini

Suits builders who have a free Mini PCI Express slot wired for USB and want to install a cellular modem with a SIM. It will not work with PCIe-bus Mini Cards such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth modules, so buyers needing to adapt those should look elsewhere. The adapter also requires the host system to recognise the modem over USB, so platforms without USB routing on the Mini PCI-E connector cannot use it.

Handles one USB-interface Mini Card and SIM

Comfortably hosts a single 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, HSPA, WiMAX, GPS or WWAN Mini Card with its SIM. There is no provision for a second card, no external antenna connectors on the adapter itself, and no support for PCIe-based Mini Cards. Headroom ends at one USB-bus modem; additional modems or PCIe devices need a different solution.

Questions about this item

Does the Fervit Mini PCI-E adapter work with a standard PCI-E bus Wi-Fi module?

No, the adapter only supports Mini-Cards that use a USB bus interface such as 2G GSM, GPRS, 3G, CDMA, WLAN, WWLAN, HSPA MODEM, GPS, 4G WiMAX, or LTE cards.

Can I use this adapter with an older 3G modem that uses a 6-pin SIM connector?

Yes, the board includes a SIM card connector that accepts both 6-pin and 8-pin SIM cards, so your 3G modem's SIM will fit.

How do I confirm the adapter is functioning after I install a WWAN card?

The adapter supports Plug & Play and Hot-Swapping with no extra power needed; once the WWAN card's software drivers are installed, the system should detect the modem immediately.
