  • Operate without extra power cables using the built-in 19-pin dual-port design
  • Fit slim chassis with the included low-profile bracket
  • Install drivers easily from the supplied CD

PCI-E x1 USB 3.0 header expansion

This Vszerda add-on card plugs into a PCI Express x1 slot and provides two internal 20-pin USB 3.0 headers for front-panel or drive-bay ports. The board measures 12 by 9 by 2 centimetres and weighs about 52 grams. A low-profile bracket and a driver CD are supplied in the package.

Builders adding front USB 3.0 ports

The card suits system integrators who need to expose USB 3.0 headers on a motherboard that lacks them, and it works in slim cases thanks to the included low-profile bracket. It is not suited for users who require external USB Type-A or Type-C ports, because the connectors are internal headers only. Buyers who want powered ports for high-draw devices should note the card draws all power from the PCI-E slot.

Dual 20-pin header connectivity

Each of the two onboard 19-pin headers supports USB 3.0 SuperSpeed at 5 Gbps as well as High-Speed 480 Mbps and Full-Speed 12 Mbps operation. The interface is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices and supports hot-plug capability. No separate power cable is required.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy cables separately?

The package includes the expansion card, a low-profile bracket, and a driver CD. Internal 20-pin USB 3.0 cables to connect front-panel ports are not included and must be purchased separately.

Which version should I choose if my motherboard has a 19-pin internal header?

The card provides two 19-pin internal headers that accept standard 20-pin USB 3.0 cables. No separate versions or capacities exist; the single model fits any PCIe x1 slot and supports 5 Gbps transfer.

What does the 5 Gbps figure mean once the card is installed in my PC?

Each of the two internal headers can deliver up to 5 Gbps Super-Speed USB 3.0 bandwidth, while remaining backward compatible with 480 Mbps High-Speed and 12 Mbps Full-Speed devices.
