Microconnect MC-USB3.0-F3B1 placas/adaptadores de interface internos USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1)

The MicroConnect MC-USB3.0-F3B1 is an internal USB 3.2 Gen 1 (SuperSpeed 5 Gbit/s) interface card that connects to a PCI Express slot. It enables a PCIe-equipped platform to interface with USB SuperSpeed (5 Gbps), High-Speed (480 Mbps), Full-Speed (12 Mbps) and Low-Speed (1.5 Mbps) devices, allowing connection of mass storage, printers, scanners, hubs, cameras and other USB peripherals. The card provides a 5 V output with up to 0.9 A current, and has compact dimensions (approx. 80 x 70 mm) and a lightweight design (0.09 kg) for easy installation.

Advantages

The card adds USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0 / SuperSpeed) connectivity through a PCIe host interface, increasing system I/O options without requiring external adapters. Its backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices ensures broad device support. Small size and low weight simplify installation inside most desktop systems. The provided 5 V/0.9 A power output supports common USB peripherals directly from the board.

Suitable for

• Upgrading a desktop PC with USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports
• Connecting external mass storage devices at SuperSpeed
• Adding extra USB ports for printers, scanners and cameras
• Systems that require backward compatibility with USB 2.0/1.1 devices

How to use

Power off the computer and open the case. Insert the MC-USB3.0-F3B1 into an available PCI Express slot and secure it. Connect any required internal power or cable if applicable and close the case. Boot the system and install appropriate drivers for your operating system if they are not detected automatically. After driver installation the new USB ports are ready to connect SuperSpeed and legacy USB devices.

Recommendations

Install the card in a free PCIe slot on the motherboard and ensure the system is powered off during installation. Use USB 3.0 certified cables for optimal SuperSpeed performance and verify driver compatibility with your OS version. For power-hungry devices consider using externally powered USB hubs or connect directly to ports that provide sufficient current.
