Introduction
This 5-port USB 3.1 combo card lets you add a variety of types and generations
(speeds) of USB ports to your computer through a PCI Express slot. It oers:
• One external USB-C™ port (USB 3.1 Gen 2 - 10Gbps)
• Two external USB-A ports (USB 3.1 Gen 1 - 5Gbps)
• Two internal USB-A motherboard header ports (USB 3.1 Gen 1 - 5Gbps)
By oering both USB Type-A and USB Type-C™ ports, as well as USB motherboard-style
headers, you can easily connect a range of modern and legacy USB devices both inside
and outside your computer. It’s a perfect solution for upgrading your desktop or server
to support a variety of USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 devices.
The card allocates USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) bandwidth to the USB-C port, while USB 3.0
(5Gbps) bandwidth is shared equally between the card’s remaining ports (two USB-A
ports, and two motherboard-style headers).
