Placa de interface DeLOCK 89281 USB 3.2 Gen 1

The DeLOCK 89281 PCI Express interface card adds three external USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1) ports and one internal USB 3.0 port to a desktop PC. It supports connection of USB 3.0 devices such as docking stations, card readers and external enclosures while remaining backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. The card uses a PCIe host interface and supports data transfer rates up to 5000 Mbit/s.

Advantages

The card expands available USB ports without requiring external hubs and provides high-speed wired connectivity for large file transfers and external storage. Backward compatibility ensures existing USB devices continue to work. Its combination of three external and one internal port offers flexible connection options for both external peripherals and internal front-panel headers or internal devices.
