Two-port USB 3.0 expansion for desktop PCs

The Sunshine-Tipway 3002 card adds two external USB 3.0 ports and a 19-pin internal header that can supply two more internal ports. It installs in any PCI Express x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slot and draws auxiliary power from a standard 4-pin connector.

Sustained throughput on every port

Each port delivers up to 5 Gbps and maintains the full USB 3.0 signalling rate of 5000 Mbps while multiple devices operate simultaneously. The controller supports mixed USB 3.0, 2.0 and 1.1 traffic at 1.5, 12, 480 and 5000 Mbps without dropping to a lower speed tier.

Low-impedance capacitors and shielded inductors

Solid capacitors and double-shielded inductors keep signal integrity clean under continuous load. The titanium-reinforced bracket resists flex, and the 4-pin power feed supplies up to 5 V 900 mA per port without overloading the slot.

Questions about this item

Does the 3002 card need the 4-pin power connector to run 5 V 900 mA on both external USB 3.0 ports all day?

Yes, the built-in 4-pin power feed supplies the extra current so each external port can deliver the full 5 V 900 mA continuously without loading the slot.

What motherboard header must I have free to use the internal 19-pin USB 3.0 connector on this card?

A standard 19-pin USB 3.0 header on the motherboard is required; the card’s 19-pin connector plugs directly into it to add two internal ports.

Will the 3002 card work in a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot on an older motherboard and still give 5 Gbps on the external ports?

The card is PCI Express 2.0 Gen 1 compliant and supports x1 lanes, so it will operate in a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot and maintain the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 rate.
