Internal interface card DeLOCK 81292 PCIe 1x to 2x USB 3.0

The DeLOCK 81292 PCIe 1x to 2x USB 3.0 internal interface card adds two high-speed USB 3.0 ports to a desktop PC using a single PCI Express x1 slot. Designed for straightforward installation inside standard ATX and microATX cases, this card expands connectivity for external storage, peripherals and high-bandwidth devices while maintaining backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices.

Advantages

The card provides USB 3.0 SuperSpeed transfer rates for faster file transfers and improved responsiveness with compatible devices. Its low-profile bracket option supports compact systems and the card’s PCIe x1 connection minimizes motherboard resource usage. Compatibility with common desktop operating systems ensures broad usability across many system configurations.

Suitable for

• Adding extra USB 3.0 ports to desktop PCs
• Connecting external SSDs, HDDs and flash drives that require high bandwidth
• Expanding port options for cameras, audio interfaces and USB hubs
• Upgrading older systems that lack native USB 3.0 ports

Key specifications

• Interface: PCI Express x1
• Ports: 2 × USB 3.0 Type-A (internal bracket output)
• Transfer rates: Up to USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (theoretical max 5 Gbps per port)
• Compatibility: Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices
• Form factor: Standard and low-profile bracket support for various case sizes
• Power requirement: Draws power from PCIe slot; additional power may be required for high-power devices via onboard connector if present

How to use

Power down the PC and disconnect it from the mains. Open the computer case, locate an available PCIe x1 slot on the motherboard and remove the corresponding slot cover on the rear panel. Insert the DeLOCK PCIe card firmly into the slot until it is seated, secure the bracket with the case screw, and close the case. Reconnect power, start the system and install any required drivers supplied by the operating system or the manufacturer. After the drivers are recognized, connect USB devices to the new ports. Verify device operation in the operating system’s device manager or equivalent utility.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, connect high-bandwidth devices directly to the USB 3.0 ports and use high-quality USB 3.0 cables. If multiple power-hungry devices are used simultaneously, consider using externally powered USB hubs or verifying that the card’s power provisions and the system power supply can meet the combined demand. Ensure the card is fully seated in the PCIe slot and that the driver is up to date for best compatibility.
