Key A-E Slot to Dual USB 2.0 Ports

This adapter converts an idle M.2 Key A-E slot on a desktop or notebook motherboard into two USB 2.0 ports. It uses a GL850 controller and includes two 30cm cables for internal routing. The card is designed specifically for the Key A-E interface and will not function in a Key M slot.

Builders with Spare Key A-E Slots

Suits system integrators who need extra USB 2.0 headers and have an unused M.2 Key A-E connector. It is not for users who only have Key M slots available, nor for those requiring a CNVi interface, as that interface lacks the necessary USB signalling. Buyers needing USB 3.0 or higher speeds should look at a different solution.

Requires M.2 Key A-E Interface

The single specification that determines compatibility is the physical M.2 Key A-E slot. The card cannot be installed in a Key M slot and will not work with CNVi-only implementations. Verify the motherboard manual confirms a Key A-E slot with USB routing before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the GL850 chip draw enough power to heat up the M.2 slot during continuous use?

The GL850 chip operates within standard USB 2.0 power limits, so the M.2 slot stays cool even when both ports run all day.

Must my motherboard have a free M.2 Key A-E slot, or will a Key M slot work with an adapter?

You need an unused M.2 Key A-E slot; the card cannot be used in a Key M slot even with an adapter.

Can I keep my existing CNVi Wi-Fi module installed while adding this card for extra USB ports?

No, CNVi interfaces lack USB signals, so this card only works with standard Key A-E Wi-Fi slots, not CNVi.
