Interface Card EXSYS EX-12011 Internal USB 3.2 Gen 2

The EXSYS EX-12011 Internal USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface card is a PCIe add-in card that provides two external SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen2 ports via a single USB-C connector. Designed for installation in workstations, desktops or servers, the card extends system connectivity to support a range of USB devices and high-speed external storage.

Advantages

The card supports multiple USB generations (USB 1.1/2.0/3.0/3.2 Gen2) and transfer rates up to 10 Gbps per port and up to 20 Gbps aggregated via supported modes. It provides up to 2.4 A current on the external USB 3.2 Gen2 ports for powering or charging connected devices. A low-profile bracket is included for use in slim enclosures (maximum height 8 cm). The PCIe Gen3x4 connection ensures sufficient bandwidth for demanding peripherals.

How to use

Power off the computer and insert the EX-12011 into an available PCIe slot (recommended Gen3x4). Secure the card with the bracket and optionally fit the included low-profile bracket for slim cases. Reconnect power and boot the system; the operating system should detect the new USB controller and install drivers automatically or prompt for driver installation. Connect USB devices to the external USB-C port using a compatible cable to enable high-speed data transfer and device charging where supported.

Recommendations

Use high-quality USB-C cables rated for USB 3.2 Gen2 to achieve maximum transfer rates. For heavy sustained transfers, connect to a PCIe Gen3x4 slot and ensure adequate airflow in the system to prevent thermal throttling.
