EXSYS 2-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 PCIe Card 3A Renesas

The EXSYS 2-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 PCIe Card 3A Renesas (EX-11192) is a PCIe host adapter that adds two external USB 3.2 Gen 1 (SuperSpeed 5 Gbit/s) ports to a desktop, workstation or server. The card supports legacy USB speeds (USB 1.1 and USB 2.0) as well as USB 3.2 Gen 1, provides self-powered operation with a 4-pin Molex supplementary power connector and supplies up to 3.0 A on each output. A low-profile bracket is included for installation in slim cases.

Advantages

The card delivers up to 5 Gbit/s per port for SuperSpeed transfers while maintaining backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. The additional Molex power input ensures stable current for high-draw devices such as external storage enclosures; each output can supply up to 3.0 A. The included low-profile bracket increases installation flexibility for small form factor systems. The PCIe host interface provides direct connection to the system bus for reliable data throughput.

Suitable for

• Connecting external storage enclosures and SSD/HDD docking stations
• Attaching webcams, digital cameras and scanners
• Adding SuperSpeed USB ports to workstations and desktop PCs
• Upgrading servers or small form factor PCs that require additional USB power and bandwidth

Key specifications

• Host interface: PCIe (internal)
• Output interface: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (SuperSpeed, 5 Gbit/s) with backward compatibility to USB 2.0/1.1
• Number of external ports: 2
• Maximum per-port current: 3.0 A (requires Molex supplementary power)
• Power connector: 4-pin Molex supplementary input for self-powered operation
• Included accessory: low-profile bracket for narrow PC cases (max height approx. 8 cm)
• Weight: 0.111 kg

How to use

Power off the computer, open the chassis and insert the card into an available PCIe slot. Secure the card with the bracket screw; if the chassis is a slim model, replace the full-height bracket with the supplied low-profile bracket. Connect the 4-pin Molex power cable from the system power supply to the card if higher current is required by connected devices. Close the case, power on the system and install drivers if the operating system does not automatically detect the card. After installation, attach USB devices to the external SuperSpeed ports.
