This is a PCI expansion card designed to add multiple USB 2.0 ports to a computer. It is ideal for users who need additional connectivity options for peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers, or external storage devices. The card provides both external and internal USB ports, making it versatile for different setup requirements. It is particularly useful for desktop computers that lack sufficient USB ports or require more power delivery for connected devices.
The card supports high-speed data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps, ensuring fast performance for USB 2.0 devices. Each port can supply up to 500mA of power, which is sufficient for most standard USB devices. It is backward compatible with older USB 1.1 and 1.0 devices, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of peripherals. The card adheres to USB EHCI revision 0.95 and UHCI 1.1 specifications, ensuring reliable operation with various operating systems.
Installation requires a free PCI slot on the motherboard and basic knowledge of opening a computer case. Once installed, the card can be used immediately without additional drivers in most cases. It is suitable for both home and office environments where multiple USB devices need to be connected simultaneously. The card is also compliant with the PCI revision 2.2 specification, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of motherboards.
The design is compact and built for durability, making it suitable for long-term use in desktop environments. It includes all necessary components for installation, such as the PCI card itself and any required mounting hardware. However, it does not include any external cables or adapters for connecting peripherals, so users may need to purchase these separately if not already available.
