Carrier panel Chieftec MUB-3002 3.5 inch Black Silver

The Chieftec Carrier Panel MUB-3002 is a 3.5" front-mount accessory panel that provides two high-speed USB 3.0 ports for desktop cases with an available 3.5" bay. Its compact black-and-silver design (101 mm × 137 mm × 25 mm) fits standard 3.5" slots and enables an easy way to add external USB 3.0 connectivity to systems that lack front USB 3.0 ports.

Advantages

This carrier panel supports USB 3.0 data transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices. It offers plug & play installation and hot-swap capability, allowing devices to be connected or disconnected without powering down the PC. The panel is sized to fit a standard 3.5" bay and provides two external USB 3.0 ports for convenient front access.

Suitable for

• Upgrading desktop PCs that have a free 3.5" front bay
• Adding front USB 3.0 ports for faster external storage access
