PCEU-43VQ PCIe controller 4x USB3.0

The AXAGON PCEU-43VQ HQ PCI-Express card adds four high-speed USB 3.0 ports to your desktop.

The design of the controller with upright mounted USB connectors also allows installation into low-profile cases with an enclosed low profile blind.

By supporting the USB Battery Charging 1.2 and using high-quality components, you can charge your mobile devices very fast with a current of up to 2.1A at each port. The total power supplied by the controller during charging is up to 3.8A.

Supported is also charging of Apple iPad, which usually cannot be recharged directly from the USB 3.0 ports on your computer.

The use of a passive cooler, toroidal coil, resettable fuse and high quality capacitors guarantees reliable operation and long life of the controller.

Input:
• PCI-Express 2.0 interface, PCI-Express 1.0a / 1.1 / 2.1 / 3.0 compatible.
• Number of lines: 1-Lane (x1), compatible with x1 / x4 / x8 / x16 PCIe slots.
• A bandwidth of 1-Lane PCI-Express 2.0 bus is 5 Gb/s.

Output:
• 4x external USB 3.0 port with USB Type A-F connectors.
• Fully compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 1 specification (formerly USB 3.0), backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1.
• Supports transmission rates 1.5 / 12 / 480 / 5000 Mb/s (low / full / high / super speed).
• When connected to a PCI-Express bus version 1.0, theor. transmission rate max. 2.500 Mb/s.

Other features:
• Full Plug and Play support.
• Supports concurrent activity of USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices.
• Compliant with the final official xHCI specification revision 1.0 by USB-IF.
• Supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI) for faster data transmission in Windows 8 and later.
• Fully supports Hot Plug connecting and disconnecting of USB devices while running.
• USB Battery Charging 1.2 Support - charging up to 2.1A including Apple iPads.
• Passive flat high-density aluminum cooler for longer life of components.
• Resilient solid dielectric capacitors for excellent stability in temperature changes and long service life.
• Resettable fuse to protect the controller against current overload and short circuit when connecting USB devices.
• Toroidal coil for increasing the current output of USB ports.
• VIA Labs VL805 chipset is used.

Power supply:
• With standard powering of card and connected USB devices from the PCI-Express bus, each of the USB 3.0 ports provides power up to +5 V/2.1A, up to 3.8A in total.
• The SATA power supply connector is used for optional card power from PC power source in the event of a power-intensive PCI-Express bus when PC is fitted with power-hungry devices such as graphics cards without own power supply.
• When the card is optionally powered from the PC power source, USB ports provide at least 20 percent lower power streams than in standard powering from the PCI-Express bus, so we recommend using the PCI-Express bus power.

Supported operating systems:
• MS Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 and later, Windows Server 2003 / 2008 / 2012 / 2016 and later (supported are all 32-and 64-bit Windows OS versions), Linux with kernel 2.6.31 and above.
• Note: Drivers are only installed for Windows XP / Vista / 7. For Linux, Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10, Server 2012 / 2016 and later versions, no external drivers are required, they are already part of the operating system.

Package contains:
• PCI-Express controller with a standard blanking plug,
• low profile blanking plug,
• printed installation guide in ENG/CZ/DE/ESP/FR/HU/IT/PL/RO/RU/SK/BG,
• packed in a cardboard box.
