HighPoint Technologies, Inc. RU1244C PCIe 3.0 x8 4-Port USB 3.2 10G Controller

Four independent USB Type-C ports

The HighPoint RocketU 1244C is a low-profile PCIe 3.0 x8 controller that adds four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports to a desktop or server. Each port delivers up to 10Gb/s with a dedicated host controller path and 1.5A power output. The card supports bootable drives on Linux and Mac, and includes a 6-pin PCIe power connector for external device power.

Suits high-speed capture and multi-device workflows

This card suits users who need simultaneous, full-bandwidth connections for storage arrays, cameras or acquisition hardware on Windows 7 through 10, Windows Server 2008 to 2019, Linux kernel 3.10.0+ or macOS 10.12.6+ on Mac Pro 5,1 or 7,1. It does not suit builds without a PCIe x8 slot or systems that require internal header connections instead of rear-panel Type-C ports.

Four ports at 10Gb/s each with 7.5W power

Each of the four ports handles USB 1.x, 2.0 and 3.x devices at up to 10Gb/s without sharing bandwidth, providing up to 7.5W per port for bus-powered peripherals or charging. Total concurrent throughput is limited by the PCIe 3.0 x8 host link, so sustained aggregate transfers across all four ports may saturate the bus before individual port limits are reached.
