This USB 2.0 PCI card is designed to expand the number of USB ports available on a computer by adding seven new ports through a PCI slot. It is ideal for users who need more USB connectivity without replacing their motherboard. The card supports both external and internal connections, making it versatile for various setups. It is particularly useful for older systems that lack sufficient USB ports or require additional internal connections for peripherals.
The card offers a significant speed improvement over USB 1.1, being 40 times faster. This makes it suitable for devices that require high data transfer rates, such as external hard drives or flash drives. It provides 500mA of power per port, which is enough to power most standard USB devices without the need for an external power source. The card also supports cascading multiple hubs to connect up to 127 devices, enhancing its flexibility for complex setups.
The card is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including various versions of Windows and Linux. This ensures that it can be used in both personal and professional environments without compatibility issues. It complies with several industry standards, including the Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI), Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI), and USB Specification Revision 2.0. These standards ensure reliable performance and interoperability with a wide range of USB devices.
Installation is straightforward with plug-and-play support, making it easy to set up without requiring complex configurations. The card includes both external and internal ports, allowing users to connect peripherals directly or integrate with existing internal components. It also supports PCI-bus power management, which helps in conserving energy when the system is idle or in low-power modes.
