LORDWORLD USB 3.1 to M.2 B Key 5G Adapter with Heatsink, Quad Antennas, 3042/3052

SKU CH-3CT4-34H3K

Connects M.2 B-Key 5G modules to USB 3.1 hosts with aluminium heatsink, four SMA antennas and Nano SIM slot for Raspberry Pi, Jetson or PC development

  • High-speed 5G data through USB 3.1 interface
  • Works with SIMCom, Quectel and Fibocom 5G modules
  • Aluminium alloy heatsink keeps module temperatures stable
  • Four SMA antenna ports plus Nano SIM slot
  • Plug-and-play on Windows and Linux with auxiliary power cable

USB 3.1 5G Module Adapter

This LORDWORLD adapter connects an M.2 B Key 5G module to a USB 3.1 host port for high-speed cellular data. It accepts 3042 and 3052 form-factor modules from SIMCom, Quectel or Fibocom such as the SIM8200 or RM500Q. An aluminum alloy heatsink and a USB cable with auxiliary power are included for stable operation.

Makers and Developers Building 5G Routers

The board suits engineers prototyping edge-computing nodes, DIY 5G routers or IoT gateways on Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, CM4 baseboards or standard Windows and Linux PCs. Quad SMA antenna ports and a Nano SIM slot simplify signal testing. Buyers who need a smaller M.2 Key E Wi-Fi module or a Key M storage interface should look at different products.

USB 3.1 Host Interface

The single specification that decides compatibility is the USB 3.1 host port on the target device. Without a USB 3.1 connection the adapter cannot deliver the 5 Gbps throughput the 5G module requires.

Questions about this item

Which M.2 B Key 5G module form factors does this adapter accept?

The board accepts 3042 and 3052 length modules, so any SIMCom, Quectel or Fibocom 5G module in those sizes will fit.

Will the included USB 3.1 cable and auxiliary power lead prevent undervoltage on a Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano?

Yes, the supplied cable has an auxiliary power connection designed to avoid undervoltage when the adapter is used with a Pi, Jetson Nano or CM4 baseboard.

How can I confirm the 5G link is active after installing the module and attaching the four SMA antennas?

Check that the host OS enumerates a new USB 3.1 device, then use the module's AT command interface or network manager to verify signal quality and a registered 5G connection.
