Interface Card Inter-Tech ARGUS KC-008

The Inter-Tech ARGUS KC-008 is an internal interface card that adds a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port to a desktop PC via a PCIe x4 slot. The card requires a free PCIe x4 slot and an available SATA power connector from the system power supply. It supports a theoretical maximum transfer rate of up to 20 Gbit/s and is compatible with Windows 10. Dimensions: 115 mm × 120 mm × 18 mm; package weight: 100 g.

Advantages

The ARGUS KC-008 provides native high-speed USB connectivity without external hubs or adapters, using the PCIe x4 host interface for direct system integration. Installation is straightforward: plug the card into a free PCIe x4 slot and connect the SATA power cable. The Type-C port supports the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 specification for up to 20 Gbit/s theoretical throughput, suitable for fast external NVMe enclosures, high-resolution video capture devices, and rapid file transfers.
