Expand your desktop with four fast USB-A 5 Gbps ports using the AXAGON controller. It offers stable transfers, a RENESAS chipset for reliable compatibility, UASP support, and power via 15‑pin SATA for trouble-free operation of multiple devices simultaneously.
This high-performance PCI‑Express card adds 4 external USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) ports to your computer with full Plug & Play and Hot Plug support. The RENESAS chipset ensures top-notch compatibility and stability, while UASP accelerates data transfers, especially for SSDs and external drives.
The controller is powered by a 15‑pin SATA connector directly from the PC power supply, providing sufficient power to connect multiple peripherals at once—from printers and keyboards to card readers, flash drives, and external HDDs. Compatibility with PCIe x1/x4/x8/x16 and USB 2.0/1.1 guarantees broad use in both new and older builds.
