Interface Card DeLOCK 61057 PCIe to USB 3.0 4 Ports

The DeLOCK 61057 PCIe to USB 3.0 4 Ports interface card adds four external USB 3.0 Type-A ports to desktop systems via a PCI Express slot. Designed to expand connectivity on PCs and workstations, this card enables multiple USB devices to be connected simultaneously while supporting high-speed data transfer rates offered by the USB 3.0 standard. It installs into a free PCIe x1 (or larger) slot and provides plug-and-play connectivity for compatible operating systems.

Advantages

This PCIe to USB 3.0 card provides four additional USB 3.0 ports, increasing the number of available external connections without requiring external hubs. It supports USB 3.0 transfer speeds for faster file copy and backup operations compared with USB 2.0, while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. The compact low-profile bracket design is suitable for a range of chassis types, and the card installs directly into a PCIe slot to avoid occupying front-panel ports.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting external hard drives and SSDs for high-speed data transfer
• Attaching multiple USB peripherals such as printers, scanners, and webcams
• Expanding USB ports for workstations used in content creation and data backup
• Upgrading older desktop systems to add USB 3.0 capability

Key specifications

• Interface: PCI Express (PCIe x1 compatible)
• External ports: 4 × USB 3.0 Type-A
• Compatibility: backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices
• Transfer mode: USB 3.0 SuperSpeed up to 5 Gbit/s (theoretical)
• Form factor: low-profile bracket supported (suitable for small cases)

How to use

Power off the computer and open the chassis to access an available PCIe slot. Insert the card into a free PCIe x1 or larger slot and secure it to the case with the bracket screw. Close the chassis and power on the system. The operating system should detect the new USB 3.0 controller and either install drivers automatically or prompt for driver installation if required. After driver installation, connect USB devices to the Type-A ports; the ports support both SuperSpeed USB 3.0 and legacy USB devices.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, connect USB 3.0 devices with SuperSpeed-capable cables and avoid routing multiple high-bandwidth devices through a single controller when transferring large amounts of data simultaneously. Ensure the system BIOS and operating system are updated to the latest versions to maximize compatibility and stability.
