PCIe x1 to dual 19-pin USB 3.0 headers
This expansion card adds two internal 19-pin USB 3.0 headers to a desktop PC via a single PCIe x1 slot. It is designed for builders who need extra front-panel USB-A ports for peripherals such as keyboards, mice, flash drives and printers. The card fits x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slots and includes both high-profile and low-profile brackets. It does not support legacy PCI slots or Linux operating systems.
Sustained 5 Gbps transfers via VL805 controller
The onboard VL805 host controller delivers up to 5 Gbps per USB-A port across four connected front-panel ports. Each port can maintain 5 V 1 A power output during extended file copies or device charging sessions. Driver-free operation on Windows 8, 10 and 11 keeps latency consistent without background software overhead. Older Windows versions require a separate driver installation for full performance.
Low-profile bracket aids airflow in tight builds
The included low-profile bracket allows installation in slim chassis where a full-height card would restrict air movement. With no active cooling on the card itself, noise remains limited to the system fans already present. Power draw stays within the PCIe slot specification, so no external power connector is needed. Builders without a spare PCIe x1 slot or those running Linux cannot use this adapter.

Questions about this item
How much heat or noise does the VL805 controller generate when the card runs continuously?
The card uses a passive VL805 controller with no fan, so it produces no audible noise and only modest heat under normal 5 Gbps loads.
What must my motherboard already have for this adapter to function?
A free PCIe x1 slot (also compatible with x2, x4, x8 or x16) and two internal 19‑pin USB 3.0 headers on the board.
Will the card work in a PCIe 2.0 slot on an older motherboard?
Yes, it is based on the PCIe 2.0 standard and operates in x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slots on both AMD and Intel platforms.
