Five Ports for Mixed USB Devices

This PCIe add-in card adds five USB ports — two Type-C and three Type-A — to a desktop computer. It targets users who need more front-access connections for external drives, docks or peripherals without opening the case again. Backward compatibility covers USB 3.2 Gen2x2 down to USB 1.1 devices. Windows 10 and 11 recognise the card natively, while Linux is also supported.

Low-Profile Passive Cooling

The card occupies a single full-height slot and relies on passive heat dissipation; no fan is fitted. Power draw in normal use stays within the PCIe slot budget, so no auxiliary connector is required. Silent operation suits quiet workstations or home-office builds. The compact 3.74 by 3.74 by 0.75 inch board leaves room for adjacent cards.

Sustained 20 Gbps Aggregate Throughput

Under continuous load the PCIe 3.0 x2 host link delivers up to 20 Gbps shared across all five ports. Each port can reach 10 Gbps in burst, but total bandwidth is divided when multiple devices transfer simultaneously. UASP support on every port helps maintain higher sustained rates with compatible drives. The three Type-A ports also supply 1.5 A each per Battery Charging 1.2 for charging while transferring.

Questions about this item

How do I install the UGT-PC3A2C and which slot mistake should I avoid?

Insert the card into a PCIe x4 slot that provides four lanes; a shorter x1 slot will not deliver the required bandwidth.

What maintenance will the UGT-PC3A2C need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required; keep the ventilation area clear and reseat the card if ports stop responding.

What limit appears first during sustained transfers on the UGT-PC3A2C?

The PCIe 3.0 x2 link caps aggregate throughput at 20Gbps, so all five ports share that ceiling.
